The Myth (False Belief) Poem by NISHITH PARIKH

MYSTERIOUS & BELIEFS THAT CAME ACROSS
THE LONG THEY WENT THE BETTER THEY SEEN.
GRIPPED IN THE CLUSTERS OF FALSE NOTIONS,
PLAYED TRICKY WITH EMOTIONS,
THOSE PAVED THE WAY TO THE FOGGY DREAMS,
WHEN I WOKE UP THE DAY, REALIZED THE DREAM THAT I SAW
IS THAT ONLY THE MYTH…?

THY ATTRACTIVE THOUGHT, THY PRETTY IMAGINATION,
MIND FULL OF SENTIMENTS, DRAWING HER CREATION,
THOSE ALL GOT RUINED, THOSE ALL GOES VANISHED,
WHEN I WOKE UP THE DAY, REALIZED THE WARMTH I OBSERVED IN RELATION,
IS THAT ONLY THE MYTH…?

WHAT WAS THAT, WHY WAS THAT,
HURTED ME A LOT, DESTROYED MY THOUGHT,
WAS THAT A MISTAKE OR A SILLY ATTRACTION,
IT ENCHANTED ALL MY DEVOTION, BUT
WHEN I WOKE UP THE DAY, REALIZED THE ATTRACTION I FELT
IS THAT ONLY THE MYTH…?

NOW THE SADNESS, THE MADNESS OF HERS,
BRING INTO THE EYES A LOTS OF TEARS,
WITH LONELINESS, EMPTINESS IN LIFE FULL OF GRIEF,
THE LAST THING I WANT TO HEAR,
OH ALMIGHTY,
WHEN I WOKE UP THE DAY, REALIZED THAT MY LOVE FOR HER, HER CARE FOR ME
IS THAT ONLY THE MYTH…?
