12 Forever

The Illuminated deep waters The divinity of the shining moon The serenity of the classic sky The established life and the boon The woods an epitome of placid beauty The light is the enchantress The moon glows with all it’s glory The stars beneath are yet to undress The moon reflecting its marvel The water drinking the light The skies witnessed the siege The world witnessed the night A night of sheer anticipation The illuminated waters so pure The men of faith and hope A story of harmony and cure The lullaby the world yearns for The moon the source of peace The night when the war ends And the miseries it cease

Here’s to love, here’s to betrayal Broken promises have become a grail Fake emotions and fake expressions Fabricated and tailored confessions Tricks so good, you can’t escape Persuasion comes in every shape You don’t know the truth behind And they come and prank your mind They break the boundaries you set And very carefully spread the net To catch your faultless pounding heart To trap you with their unfailing art Here’s to love, here’s to tears The silent cries that no one hears Masking helps but not for long You start slipping and all goes wrong Not every story ends with tears Only if you brush off your fears And stand amid the crowd Breathing deep, feeling proud Feeling proud that you survived And could see the other side To decipher the right from the wrong Standing up and staying strong
