I
Accidental encounter with the one,
After giving endless joy and dreams of tomorrow.
Long ago had disappeared in the cloud,
Dreams, indeed, they were, never meant to last.
II
Foolish heart of twenty and some.
Never understood the Cupid's game of love.
Like the midsummer dream, it vanished,
With the first arrival of the Autumn's cooling.
III
Life passed as it does with the seasons.
Years role as easy with the earth's rotations.
Life must go on as the 'Amor Fati'* demands,
And we move on from the unforgettable dreams.
IV
Why then the chanced encounter with that love,
One that but was ephemeral, and vanishing sorts,
Then why must it create that emotional storm?
Fire, once warmed one's soul, it seems, never dies.
V
Fell apart with the sight of the lost love,
Time ravaged face I want, I need her cries came,
Pretended tranquility; a facade indeed, I carried,
Storming gale of emotions sent to wipe resistance.
VI
Am I ready to bend with the wind or fight,
A battle we know often have been lost,
Do I surrender to the force of love,
And rekindle the fire of love that almost died?
VII
A charade, played with the human heart,
Who's that player, amusing him, or herself?
Where humanity, a pawn in this cruel game,
Of a Cat-and -Mouse game of love and loss.
