Unhappily Did They Live Thereafter

The night was dark and starless.
Dreary lanes with no allusion of life.
Translucent rays of moon
Reflecting upon a dead tree.

The bungalow was situated amidst the forlorn lanes.
She sat timidly in a dimly lit corner.
Deep velvety red tapestry hanging by the wall.
Her apprehension swelling by the moments passing.

She felt hollow from inside.
She felt bruised from inside.
She was losing grip of her life.
She was losing the significance of her life.

The pieces of her heart battered and smashed.
The pieces of her soul scattered in front of her.

His words lingered on.
“I will go very far away.
I will never come back.
Although, I will never be able to forget you.
For you are my glistening dreams.
Your beauty is mesmerizing.
Your love is inconceivable.
You are the ray of hope,
At the end of a gloomy night.
You gave a new meaning to my life.
You taught me how to live.

The thought of leaving you rips my heart.
Everything seems to be falling apart.
Disheartened, I cry in agony.
For, I will never be able to elucidate.
I don’t know how I will survive without you.
My life is now a dark endless tunnel.”

She had stared at him in disbelief,
When he was walking away from her.
She had eyed his disillusioned structure,
Taking away with him, her quintessence.

She shuddered by the faint noise
She heard from a far away lane,
As she sat timidly in a dimly lit corner,
Waiting for him. Waiting endlessly.
Waiting for eternity.

I Wish To Be Set Free

I feel trapped in the realm of this world.
I feel weary in this quest for life.
I feel lost in the search for happiness.
Incorrigible boulevards. Murky air.
Immeasurable duties. Countless tasks.
Inherent baseness. Depraved spirits.
This is not what I seek.
This is not what I want.
I yearn for a tranquil place.
I crave for an undaunted existence.
I wish to be liberated.
I wish to be set free.

Unleashed

By the time this night is over,
I’ll rouse the sleepy shores.
By the time this night is over,
I’ll touch the shimmering stars.
By the time this night is over,
I’ll swim in the unfathomable ocean.
By the time this night is over,
I’ll fly in the cosmic sky.
By the time this night is over,
I’ll dance with the dazzling moon.
You are my shore.
You are my star.
You are my ocean.
You are my sky.
You are my moon.
By the time this night is over,
I’ll unfurl the mystery that lies within you.
By the time this night is over,
I’ll fill this overwhelming silence.
By the time this night is over,
I’ll satiate your infinite desires.
By the time this night is over,
I’ll make you mine, endlessly.

The Relentless Fear

Blurry images.
Pulsating beats.
I gasp for breath.
The invisible walls closing in on me.
The reason is inane.
The occurrence is unknown.
The fear is substantive.
I’m lost in the muffled silence.
I’m trapped in a deep anguish.
I tremble.
I shudder.
It devours me in an unimaginable pain.
I succumb.

Velvet

It flows into my ears.
And takes me to a faraway land.
Maple trees and blue skies.
Dewdrops on lush green grass.
It fills the void.
It soothes the senses.
It ignites the flame.
Melodramatic and pondering in thoughts.
I gaze at the vast endless sky.
Your demeanor is a mystery.
Hide it. Or reveal it.
The voice belongs to me.
It is my essence.
