The Twilight of The Superheroes

Take the time to turn around
And look back at what has been
Stepping out of teenage wasteland
And start living in our dreams


The biggest days of our life
Are all scattered in those years
And they've passed by in a flash
Creating our hopes and fears


A time for us to stop and think
And savour the last dance
To take the first step of life
An everlasting College romance


And years from now the best wish
To marry your College sweetheart
With only a chance to finish
And no yearning for a start


We are all superheroes
Without capes, powers or masks
But we all have our regrets
A million unfinished tasks


The twilight descends upon us
And the climax has no war
To fade away and yet to shine
And play our parts in this short tale


The twilight of the superheroes
A time to shed our alter egos
A time to return to the breakdown
And be done with our dreams

a time to get used to..
the laughter and the forgetting.

A time to make friends lifetime allies
A time for love-anther to blossom and no lies

And yes we are the Superheroes in descending twilight
But only the blessed ones will carry forward the doting light..

There is a hero and a villain in each one of us . Often we find it difficult to comprehend the fact that we have to save ourselves before we save others. Of course this is entirely my view.
But its good to be optimistic though. What would we be without hope?
Keep writing..its a nice collection of poems u got here

And be done with our dreams...
that line would suffice...
you write with sprinkles of beauty
