WITH YOU...

The rhetoric of life
Emanating out of vacuum
Rings in my ears.
The emptiness pains me.
How did I live till now,
I wonder.

With you, I learnt to think.
You shattered the spineless rhetoric,
Incenced the nascent light
Glowing within me.
Now the real truth bekons
And glory is not far.
With you I am and will be.

Yet serpentine thoughts of guilt creep in
And the light flickers.
Where is the place for guilt
In a thought so pure?
The rhetoric has to be
Vanquished yet.
The nascent light
Has to be sheltered still.
