Ruling the glamour industry
much sought after face
sashaying across the ramp
basking in all the adulation
stardom felt eternal.
Spotlight shifts focus
today, my face is a mere poster on the wall with graffiti.
Forgotten, as tides of time change.
I try to chase the elusive limelight,
only to realize,
fame is like a sparkler
burning till the light fades
transient!
The filters transform
a monochrome soul
with a false facade
to a beauteous face
likes and follows grow by the mile
the heart revels in hollow happiness .
Thousands of virtual friends
but not a single real one.
Contemplating on choices at crossroads
Chaotic cacophony prevails in the indecisive mind
Creates contours of illusionary dimensions
Clarity camouflaged by conflict of thoughts
Complex patterns emerge, trying to channelize the clutter
Connecting the dots, seems to be a challenge
Conundrum sums up life’s path!
This style of poetry is called Pleiades. It has only one word in the title followed by a seven line stanza. The first word of each line begins with the same letter as the title.
