Filthy Irony

This ain’t real..
As if a spell-bounding symphony
caught my ears..
I try to smile
but all in vain
as my eyes overpower my mind..
I just stop and stare..

You invoked a spark
In my dull world..
Our eyes don’t want to part;
And i would never,ever
want to tear them apart.

You just don’t belong here.
I am so sure,
There just cannot be someone
So divine,so pure..

(an instant later)

Hey!
Why did you close your eyes?
My soul questions
your sudden disappearance;
from the view..

I find myself
moving towards you..
The vehicles honk;
who cares!
I keep walking..

I see people
gathering around you..
Heh!No wonder,
The all want a glimpse of you!

I tackle the crowd;
to get closer..
to what seems to be,
a part of me..

At last!
I reach the centre of the gathering
to find you in the middle,
with eyes wide open,
Lying on the road..
Blood dripping from your pink lips..
My eyes fail to connect to yours!

Just another hit and run son..
said the lady
on my right.
My head went blank.

My eyes don’t blink..
I still dont get it!
why did god play
so nasty!

What was love a moment ago
ls lying in front of me..
So lifeless..so still..

I finally get my senses back;
and let out a sigh..
A tragedy affair..
A FILTHY IRONY.
