in lieu

a tinge of love
a dollop of pain

a moment of bliss
a lifetime of misery

a glimpse of your face
a bountiful dark embrace

a utopian dream abridged

a thousand tears ruffled anew

a transient sense of oneness
a perpetual collapse all through.

Best thing in this was, before even starting to read, I first checked if there was a symmetry in the number of lines or number of words.
Although I wasnt disappointed after reading the poem, cuz even without following any particular fashion, you expressed well.

hmm.. i don't care about symmetry and all .. it's a literal outpour and i just let it flow ~

thanks for the read :)
