In memory of my cousin.. who committed suicide!!!
In the line of fire,

He’s trapped by hearts desire.

At the veil of knowledge,

He hangs on a thin ledge.



Get past the line of fire or over the veil,

Is all that he can think and feel.

To discover the undiscovered,

To explore the kingdoms unconquered.



To change peoples mindset,

He needs to accomplish his quest.

He needs to do the undone,

Scale the heights to the sun.



He looks tired and ragged,

Yet he is young and misfit for adventures ahead.

The world beyond the line maybe hostile,

Beyond the veil either, he can’t expect any pedophile.



Yet he wants to do it,

Risk everything and give a try to it.

He knows he may fail,

Chances of winning are bare minimal.



But he thinks of treasures,

Of glory, and thereafter the pleasures.

He thinks of world with him as famous,

And all the doubts of loosing just vanished.



Wondering what maybe ahead,

He takes a step forward.

“Fool…… why did you do it???.......”

“Please… open your eyes……please live….”


The cries of people of this world,

Cursing and crying, got his lips curled.

A smile and fresh determination swept through,

And he lurched into the world un-true.



Where did he go??

When will he return??

Did he find the place better??

I, with this, just wish he finds all the pleasure.
