Life seems but a sunset

Years of endless discovery
a constant raging battle
feeling fatigue every now and then.
Still….,
still wait patiently for the sun to rise
for just once in a lifetime
when all I did was compromise
hard to distinguish the truth from the lies.
Every period leaving behind a distinct mark
seems dusk keeps calling upon the dark.

Look for my Father’s substitute
who was promised to me at birth
even before i entered this earth
if only you could be like the Heavenly one
make my sun rise, know me through and through
know the essence of the daughter that
was promised to you.

Representation for half of My creation
mere acceptation got me running
circles of frustration, clouding my perception.
You were supposed to mould my eyes
make my stars rise high above the skies
but disrupted harmony increased my agony,
the beginning of my sun setting.

Wanted you to enlighten my view
See a father, teacher, a man in all his glory
Discover all of this beauty in you
But man figure out of sight
Got me looking for that fundamental
light, in those who looked alike
to be mine in storm and shine.
Blessed so(u)lely by the Devine,
we would sing love songs till dawn.
And so dawn came,
but neither their hearts nor faces
were the same.

The solidness of my soul
crumbled between their cold fingers
Left behind (again) weeping and regaining
disillusioned without a sense of direction
scraping every splinter back together.
Run away broken and humiliated
deeply scarred and barely naked
to disappear into the comfort of the darkness.

The time has come to move on west
Find my bearings and redefine my quest
Will try not to look back once
I might freeze and turn to salt
Blaming life for all of man’s faults
happiness come shine my way
all the while wait patiently for that day
life won’t seem to be
just setting on me.
