Betrayal

watercolor_painting___tears_closeup_by_bealx-d5r8glq

While    I     silently     go     insane,     their    salt
has     turned     into    sugar.    Happy    with
new  partner, they  laugh at me.  Those
grinning  eyes,  they  keep  asking
me  questions –  where is  she,
for whom you betrayed
us.              Everyday
they  grill  me –
my     ex
tears.

The death ride

images

April – to some is a time of exuberance and bliss as winter transitions into spring. But death is the blindfold that awaits unassuming souls. A car zooming on freeway oblivious of what lies ahead – a lone trailer that loomed at a distance. From that distance, it appeared the trailer was moving slowly but it turned out to be standing still.

Leaving no room for reflexes, in a split second, the car rammed into the unknowing trailer. The windshield shattered like dandelions blown into the wind. Death lingered wanting to devour in its clutches unaware that this one was shielded by unseen.

death in the air
looking for another victim
on a hapless night

After midnight

1943-j-1943.jpg!PinterestSmall

At night when the world is asleep
and darkness hinders the sight
a voice in my head starts to creep
with horde of questions, emerging to bite

flashing memories of gone days
multitude of what if’s, starts to grin
a virtual warzone, all set ablaze
wondering – tonight, which side will win?

will hatred triumph this very moment
or love will prevail, yet another time
struggling amidst these facets – potent
heed not devil nor his crime

consoling myself, pushing the doubts aside
one more night – I calm the beast raging inside.

Monologue of a soul’s desire

bb301ed180aad064f73cbdb308923d49

Myriad desires unspoken
sheathed in ceaseless ache
with breathings broken
longing evermore, at nights remain awake

someday dreams will be manifested
and prayers realized
yearning heart will feel rested
which once was love deprived

the hour of smelting noon
when the sun is ochre
wouldn’t let me resign
and settle for mediocre

seeking one divine, for I know I am cursed
– no ordinary love will quench this perennial thirst.

Thoughts as melting snow

eiskristalle-1986516_960_720

Tiny droplets transforming into snow
preserving the memories inside
gliding fearlessly with the flow
settling silently as they subside

in enclosed crystallized world
allowing consciousness to be alive
waiting patiently to be unfurled
soon the moment will arrive

these memories will be thawed
when the sun will shine again
forgetting all that has been flawed
love will bloom and reign

Forget not faith oh hold that grip tight
Unlike heavens not all days are sunny and bright.

The hallowing of pain

6d5dce47f51d4d6a26e5095ad15e39c3--emotional-pain-darkness-falls

Do you love me Pain ? I thought we parted ways
but I know you are around
though partly obscured – I can sense the gaze
awaiting the moment to sneak and pound

when tides start turning in my favor
instantly you start conspiring
not for a moment do you waver
piercing inside like a drill whirring

when gloomy skies just start turning clear
you step in lurking precariously
from arcane alcove you always appear
scathing, stinging venomously

why do you keep coming back – I asked, irked
to spare you another heartbreak – pain smirked.

Desert – a barren land

pexels-photo-273935.jpeg

As I gazed at the desolated sand dunes
looking for a reason that keeps them alive
what was once a sea – dancing to magical tunes
it is impossible to simply unlive

The memories of someone dear
still evokes the feeling to imitate those waves
why do you create the mirages so clear
reminisces of past – lifelessly raves

I asked, when the night falls in – do you also cry?
a wind passed through the sand grains – revealing a hollow sound
as if, it wanted to speak – but kept looking at the sky
in it’s own pain – it seemed so drowned

Desert – a designated barren land
rarely anyone ever feels the pain it stand.

Pretentious Love

61590009321ce7da93bf1d9b3836f071--concept-photography-figure-photography

Now you are busy when the room is full
ardently heaping the manipulated praises
being carried away in an enchanting pull

thinking it’s fun – living promiscuously
calling them experiences, to escape the gazes
easily accessible and leaving as quickly

No, you wouldn’t understand now …..first you have to rise above
come to me – when you are tired of these games
until then, spare me your pretentious love.
