A gleam of ecstasy <br />Amidst infinite uncertainties <br />Treasured like <br />The first virtual kiss <br />We happened to share <br />On the sparkling eve <br />Of the late October festivities <br />Has become the center <br />Of my precarious existence. <br /> <br />With this beaming joy, <br />Now takes shape <br />All my dreams of <br />Future happiness. <br />A little castle of love <br />Have I begun to build <br />On the ground of your trust <br />Its walls fortified by your assurances <br />Of never-ending love. <br /> <br />But the mean blows of time <br />Have brutally shaken <br />The tender foundation <br />Of our nascent love; <br />Forcing us to retract <br />To forget <br />All the moments we have shared, <br />To forget <br />All the promises we have made. <br /> <br />Yet strangely, <br />We choose <br />Despite all odds <br />To hold on to each other; <br />Not ready to Let Go, <br />Keeping all at stake <br />To protect our love <br />Rendered fragile <br />By external disruptions. <br /> <br />My precarious world <br />Like a fine pearl necklace <br />Is held together <br />By a delicate string <br />Of your love and care, <br />Jeopardized even by a mild threat <br />Of being shattered like a broken heart <br />The pearls of my happiness <br />Rolling, rolling away……. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />08th January 2007 <br />8.28 pm<br /><br />asma bahrainwala<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-precarious-world/
