The elusive shadow

Even tho I travelled far
The door to my soul stayed ajar
In the agony of mortal fear
Your music I did not hear
Thru twisting roads in memory lane
I bore my cross in pain

It was a journey of madness
Of anguish born in sadness
I wandered high and low
Recoiled from every blow
Looking for that stolen nectar
In my heart that long-lost scepter
In all those haunted faces
I searched for my oasis

In a way  it was in a drunken craze
A cruel hysteria, a blurry haze
Many a time I tried to break
This shadow following me  I could not shake
Many a time in the noisy crowd
In the hustle and bustle of the din so loud
I peered behind to see its trace
I could not lose it in any place


It was only when I broke all ties
After the stillness of the shrieking cries
In the depths of those heaving sihgs
The imagined sorrow of a thousand lies
I suddenly stared  in your fiery eyes
All at once I found my goal
The elusive shadow was my soul!
