O' Mystiques of the past won't you ever leave me?
I'm so haunted by you every night, even turning pillows or opening windows doesn't help!

Why do you show up in my thoughts and reveries?
Your phantasms bind me in chains rooted to the ground below my feet, forbidding my awakening.
At times you either make me want to crack open my skull,
Or force me to cry involuntary tears with a smile on my face(What a clown!).

Raconteurs disguised as nostalgia, make me lose myself in the abysmal space of my mind unattached from the world.
I hear a bittersweet symphony echoing from some place,
I seem to run towards it, see myself reach it but not quite able to stay.

I feel sentience, my sorrows hidden on the dark side of the moon.
I experience life, the seasons changing, my joy blinding in comparison to the supernovas.

It seems neither you nor I can leave each other,
For you're a part of me, akin my shadow.
You captured my fall, lifted my soul up to grow,
Made me chase after the world as well as run away from it.
I once more experienced the colours of life through you all,
O' Mystiques of the past, won't you visit me again?

Author's Note- Gosh! I finally wrote something. I think it's my longest poem till date. Hope you all enjoy😄( ╹▽╹ )!!
