S A C R I F I C E
by Ashok Chakravarthy

Deep emotions stir a thought
Straying from the path of love
The hard-boiled aspirations
Have been betrayed at last.

The inseparable fantasy world
The incredible impermanence
Broke my illusions all at once
Weaving a despotic trance.

The nuances of joy-aspired life
Mercilessly have been slashed
I know, the tempests of doom
Would pounce still without a lull.

Caught in this emotive stupor
I find no paths, except darkness
But within this intangible trauma
Can I anticipate a spark of hope?

“Love” staking my last atom
To lay down life at its feet,
Why is it so merciless at times
Implanting the “deceit” nature.

Oh “Love” ... Yes...
Is it that you are compelled at times
To demonstrate your characteristic
To impart the element of ‘SACRIFICE’.
Ashok Chakravarthy
