The Missing Link Poem by Ejaz Khan

The great Alchemist mixed the pain with pleasure
Letting go all that he held as precious treasure
Confused between dreams and reality
Seductive ways and morality
He paused and then added
The nectar of all experiences gained
Heartache and mysteries unexplained
In mixture he adds his pride
Along with humility that lived side by side
Millions of ingredients added
He failed to achieve the results
Anguished he cried in despair
Life is bi… and not fair
He concluded
Helplessness engulfed, realization of insufficiency gained
He stared at mixture with grieved heart
Ready to give up and depart
But some strange emotion took his heart in iron grip
He stumbled and felt the rip
Clouds of repentance appeared when the mistakes became apparent
Each past moment accusing and turning unto a claimant
Deep inside he was convinced about the wrongs
But too late to rectify all the prongs
Spellbound he stared and stared and knew not
When did a single dropp of tear turn clot
Traversing the space so insignificant
Found its way in the mixture that held ingredients insufficient
Making possible the transfiguration wished for
Repentance was the key ingredient missing
