Opportune

Listen to the old and they will tell you,

They all in their youth must have been through,

When the mind’s full of hopes and young dreams,

Full of beauty the entire world seems,

Its only when the pretty vision shatters,

That the reality of words in your ears clatters,

It had happened in that unfortunate year,

When the heart was naïve and path unclear....

Even though you wonder over the years passed with surprise,

It isn’t new to the tears which slid down the eyes,

The past returns without any knock at the door,

Takes you back in to the world you dread once more,

The moments, the words, the smiles are all gone,

But the memories won’t let you stay alone,

Still when the right time comes you take a second chance,

Wishing things to go fine in advance,

Though destiny has it planned for very few,

You hope that you are a part of the crew,

Some day when the cupid will be certain it will be you,

And this time round the love will be true,

A new person will be seen on the horizon,

Whose warm smile shall be brighter than the Sun,

The pain would all be worth it in the end,

When you’ll find a true companion and friend,

So have patience while going through life’s sweet and sour,

Love will help you get over all that you so deeply abhor,

The bitterness would be all but forgotten,

The price which had to be paid will no more be a burden.
