Earth to earth, Ashes to ashes.

If you build a castle out of sand,
would you rather let the waves destroy it
or do that on your own?
She often pondered upon

'Let's play a game'
He said after a million years of play.
'I will be invisible
For a while
Forget me if you
I will reappear.'

A raised eye brow, enlarged eyes,
Followed by a cracked forehead
Carried on the legacy
The blues and greens
that once were
Is ablaze with ardor
Of the decision he made

kohl for eyes
Red for lips
And stars for jewels.
I have everything I need, which he gave.
But would that exist
Now that he ain't

'You'll find yourself
On every page of my life
How may I begin
To burn the pages of my life
I call ceasefire
If you cease to exist'

She called for rain
And thought
She could
Be mesmerized in its sound
But the only sound that she heard
Was of the past
When he was mesmerized in her eyes, while it rained

If you build a castle out of sand,
would you rather let the waves destroy it
or do that on your own?
She often pondered upon

She danced
In ecstasy and
Thought she'd be lost in herself
But only to spin her wheels
As she knew no other
Than to dance to his tunes

If you build a castle out of sand,
would you rather let the waves destroy it
or do that on your own?
She often pondered upon

And that I ever existed
Means something to you
Is enough for me
To exist forever.
But here I have to say goodbye
And leave behind
The cause of my existence
With crimson smiles.

If you build a castle out of sand,
would you rather let the waves destroy it
or do that on your own?
She no more pondered upon.

Abiding by the rules
Of his game that he laid
He was back
To love her like never before
But the life that she sustained
Was earth to earth, ashes to ashes.

i think building castles out of sand is imaginative n very creative..but do not allow smone to wave it off..d silken sandunes may swap positions but once they take a shape its hard to be off ..who is this 'she' by d way..ask her not to cease to exist..life is so precious let it sing n reach d crimson horizon..n just dance wearing d gorgeous ochre veil...n i like dat line ashes to ashes n earth to earth..
