Shadow of words
Promises can't be broken
What's true, remains the same
Two lovely birds, circling the sky
Only their shadows can be seen
I shall follow my heartbeat
No one knows where it takes me
In every rhythmic move it calls
The name of the companion shadow all along
No blame game to play
Nothing of accusations to say
Only a blind trust that stays
For the shadows within the very space
It hurts, it sure does
With every passing moment
Everything crumbles and shatters
When hope is nothing but a shadow
When drowing in the sorrows of pain
It was only the shadows whispering my name
A hug that was gone in the dark,
As shadows don't appear in darkest hour
When will the shadows become tangible
When will whispers become words audible
When will Others become obsolete devices
And shadows become a hugging reality divine
O the shadows of the lovely days
At night they disappear
Only to reappear with sunrays
Creating a passionate love for another day
Promises are strong rope
Holding the myths of love with reality of only shadows
What remains is strangers voices to know
Trying to weave a bond which changes in a go
Like the musical strings it's lasting
Sometimes it's a guitar, a piano, a fluet or gramophone
The music keeps changing
I just learn to live with these strangest things
O the promises made, unbroken
The music that pleases your heart, mind and soul
I shall keep playing for you alone till I'm alive
Singing songs of love and romance to entice

In your shadows of words
moonlight life and love
leave the darkness behind.
