I'll Be Everything You Want... Till

I'll be the Pleasure

Of immense measure,

That creeps up your lips,

Lighting up your face with a smile.

Till my light is put out in a while.

Oh! why does the Light threaten to dull?

I can't leave... Not just yet there are things to do.

I want to make it upto you.

I'll be the Fire,

Like a comforting bonfire,

That seeps warmth up your skin,

Staying by you on your coldest nights.

Till my time loses all the fights.

Oh! why am I running? From whom?

Give me a moment, Old friend, Not yet

Let me touch her, I don't want to fret...

I'll be the Fervour,

Pumped in with ardour,

That runs deep in your veins,

Breezing the lift under your doubtful wings.

Till my friend 'Death' gleefully sings.

Oh! Why the hapless destiny? I was so Devout.

Till the love runs out...

Before my time runs out.

I'll be the Romance,

Like a hypnotic trance,

That cloaks your cognizance,

Abducting you into your perfect world.

Till my lifeless remains lay curled.

Oh! What is this? Run for God, or from Fate?

In the final ticks...Towards Love,

Away from Hate...

I'll be the Ears,

Like a Windmill's Gears,

That listens to your pour out,

Paying attention to all that you say.

Till my unscheduled flight if I may.

Oh! Moments of self pity? No i shall not...

Spend them in distraught..

Promises to keep, are a lot.

I'll be the Contentment,

Like peace succeeding fulfilment,

That rocks the cradle to your soul,

Resting the demons in your haunting.

Till my symphony rings its ending.

Oh! Can I carry her memories?

The sweet melodies.

Oh! The heartless tragedies.

I'll be the Daring,

Of dauntless enduring,

That sheaths your sword,

Fighting the many immortal fears.

Till life spends all entitled years.

Time is short.. Don't waste it on thought..

I'll be the Change,

Like a different new range,

That instills excitement in your world,

Weaving together joy and surprise.

Till my Beloved mourns my demise.

Time is short... Don't squander being fraught..

I'll be the Light,

The burning match bright,

That lights the darkest alleys you tread,

The Guiding star in your lost path.

Till my memories survive the aftermath.

I wonder, what I rhyme and chime about?

I'll be everything you want,

- * - * - * - * -

No... not since I can,

But I want to.

You'll feel alright, we'll work it out.

Till the love runs out...

My breath runs out....

Till the Light goes out...

I'm killing every Second

Spent away from you

My time is running out

Till I break you out....

Oh! is it time? Hmmm

Let me look at her,

Just one more time, on the way out..

Oh! We are all the same thing, something.

We'll start the fire and burn it out...

Till the Love runs out...

On our way out...
