Remaining ones retrieved , finally : Smoke, Fire & Water-82 You burn in fiery corolla Amidst dreams set ablaze That scream when scorched The smoke of reckless fire Brings water to the shore That is the abode of sight. If this is called stark reality Let the dreams escort life Till the threshold of death For dreams keep us happy. At times eyes lose clear sight Whenever it pours heavily The breeze of thoughts plays And uproots unseen drops That lie on sidelines of sea. The memories linger like waves Incessantly blooming to shrivel And suppressed till they return The vermillion sky that lit up After we spent idle hours on shore Counting waves on fickle shore Amazed at the sparkle of rain As drops kissed the eager waves Such an hour never came till now My life is spent on this shore Here you reign over my smile Afar from all fire and smoke Only the view is blurred sometimes When it pours randomly within And drops kiss the eager waves.
