A Phase in Life - I

Never more darkness can increase my gloom

But yet my heart is wild in bloom

Excruciating senses, rejuvenating passions

Simplicity galore, no unnecessary fashions

I find content, alone with myself

Though my Self is lost, in all those I love

I have found a soul, that's willing to love

And another soul too, for which I'm not willing

Maybe I'm right, or maybe I'm wrong

The confusion has increased, for time long

In the outset I smile, and laugh all I can

While inside is a huge void, and I'm falling within further

Never more darkness can increase my gloom,

But yet my heart is wild in bloom!
