Anxious and rushed
I go through my day
Enthusiasm crushed
Wearily making my way
Through a sea of monotony
Painted in shades of grey
No silver lining I can see
On the clouds floating away
I long for adventure
Excitement I crave
I would like to venture
On expeditions brave
The humdrum of existence
Constantly weighs me down
Circumstances give me resistance
In work I feel like I’ll drown.
***
Woken from a slumber deep
Suddenly jolted awake
My heart took a massive leap
As my listlessness did break
Unprepared, caught unaware
Love crept up stealthily on me
Out of the blue, from nowhere
Sweeping me off by its intensity
Took me on a roller-coaster ride
Adventure that I had not known
Overwhelmed with joy I cried
New horizons I was shown
***
Ah, the novelty of first love
Began to fade before I knew
We became like hand and glove
Between us, there was nothing new
Life settled in harmony
Quiet, peaceful, predictable
Joined together in matrimony
Living in perimeters acceptable
Monotony took over once again
Life was steady but dull
I sighed, and tried to wait in vain
For something to break the lull..
