I Should Have Not Held On To Her

I Should Have Not Held On To Her, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

irresistibly so
once she entered
my cosmic consciousness
she would not let me go
she was an illusion
a deception i could
not forgo..the agony
of my sleepless angst
my deleted dreams
stepping on the soul
of my poetry to and fro
now when i look back
in retrospection nothing
left to show ..my persistence
my passionless penury
my worldly woes ..every
breath held my windpipe
although.. i tried hard
to deviate from the path
of sorrow she haunts
me ..holding in her
hands my unborn
tomorrow... falling in
love with this angel
a wingless apparition
that hinders my growth
gone is the light of
my existence from
the soul of my shadow
