Forbidden Journey

This is the hour of reckoning

Wings are not strong

But the desire to fly is intense

The sky has no milestone

No path is marked up there

No signboard hangs from stars

It’s only hope that has more than two eyes

And more than one heart

Eyes married to heart

The hands of despair are already cut

Sadness is only a dying beggar

Darkness is an overstaying guest no more

The light of your home is my destiny

Moonlight hides the secret map

I have stared countless moons

The key is not revealed yet

The mystery of the journey is more mystical

Than the journey itself

But I have to remain focused

I can’t lose my way

The snarled roads of fate

Are often poisoned by vicious failures

I must not stop though

I’ll keep moving ahead

Till all the cracks of my skin

On my frail body

Are filled by dewdrops of hope

And forbidden wisdom
