Destiny !

Destiny reigns; silent and ageless in the

Mortuary of passions and thoughts;

An indisputable certainty in the vacuity  

Of an eternal flow of senses�"within and without,

For a deadened soul to reprieve and reproach.

 

Life denies life and death derides death;

Delight and sorrow walk away�"hand in hand;

The proximity of the present erases the face

Of the past�"the moments, hours and years;

Shrivelled eyes fail to mirror a path unbroken.

 

Time smudges the image of a decent moon

Painted upon a dark face of young night;

Jacob and Esau battles within her womb

With promises of two distinct futures;

Never knowing which will shine the dawn.

 

From the vacuity it rises and dies within;

The margin between the fortune and misfortune

Is wiped up in the hollowness of events;

Enduring a greater fall to attain a loftier ascent�"

Oblivious of the certainty scripted for the End.

 

Destiny defines; the present is of sheer suspense

Secreted within the bankruptcy of a dead past,

And the prospects of an unborn future;

As night is stifled between the legacy of a day spent

And the certainty of a fresh dawn.
