Draping the truth to adorn a lie,
A smile to easily utter a sigh,
Loneliness be woven within the fabric,
Love bleeds fast the color of a dye,
Unit conversion, best understood,
When a step away you see distance multiply,
Desires and longing and yearning arrive at,
A presumed past that pricks every try,
Crouching and crawling in the shadowy corners,
With words that subsume the urge to cry,
How long shall we sit and stare up above,
Lets hang “Mirage”, earth over the sky.

You have caught the spirit of the genre. The conclusive sher is predictably the best OcMi.

When a step away you see distance multiply.. this is perhaps the best thing i have read on ur blog.. its so striking!!
the beauty blooms into a fire in the last line... contrary to many poems, we do not hear just lament... there is an alternative... very revolutionary...
reminded me of Khayyam the great Iranian poet...
So lovely, you've captured the
nature of longing and desire.
:)
extinguish the laments, unfurl the hopes//lets dream mirage, of the days to come by
the kind of state i'm in these days, i absolutely adore these lines dee. the 3rd and the last couplet especially.
but then 'aadat se majboor hoon', had to say something positive na :)
Veerrryy interesting, particularly the desires, longing, yearning pricked by the presumed past, and the truth adorning a lie....
am still waiting for the reaction...!
damn! that was brilliant!
esp these lines
