Time to move on

The crowd has thinned

The voices have been lowered

Everything is starting to look familiar again

The concrete house bore no marks of death

All it bore was an empty room

Its time to move on

Picking up my shattered heart

Drying out my tears

I bury my sorrows by getting busy again

Death is the only certainty in life

Still I find it hard to believe

I wish the reality was just a nightmare

And I will wake up in a land of good dreams

Pain

Angel voices imitate a devil’s tone

Everything is hostile

Even the drinking water, she is afraid

Maybe be poisoned

She don’t try to hide the puffiness

Of her cried out eyes

People pretend not to care for her tears

Even if they care they pretend not to see

They are playing blind in a world

That is already filled with darkness

She wanders around in the desert

See a tree at the distance

She crawls towards it

Dragging her blistered legs

A tree that is scantly dressed

With a few leaves for the sake of pride

She leans against the tree

It was too late, by the time she realized

The tree barks were full of thorns

As she pulled away

It had already bruised her skin

The pain was unbelievable

All she could think about was the pain

One way it was a blessing for her

A few minutes of escape from the mental maim

A few minutes away from the sins those haunt her

A few minutes of oblivion, a true bliss in her life

Goodbye

Patching up my broken heart

I try my best to put on a brave face

Suppressing a howl from inside

I try my best to hold back my tears

Its goodbye forever

I plant a last kiss on her cold face

Tears and tears are all I have to say goodbye

Life won’t be the same again

Without her, life won’t be the same again

20 years of love gone in a blink of eye

All I have is memories and memories alone

If there is an afterlife, I will hold her hand again

Till then its goodbye

If there is no such thing as afterlife

Her memories will die when…I die

Unsaid

Away from the chatter

Away from the babel

I try to find some solitude

I talk with my friend

Awkwardness of silence fill

The gap between our conversations

I try to tell her everything is going to be alright

Knowing that it is not so

Tears will be shed, hearts will be torn apart

And anger will be unleashed

Still I tell her everything is going to be alright

I am your friend and I will be there for you always

I was frustrated when she didn’t tell me what was going on

When finally she unloaded the burden she carried with her

My optimism has drained out

I have given her my word that I will help her

But I was totally helpless in a situation

Which can be resolved only by time

Life won’t be the same for her ,ever again

It’s going to change forever

The impending disaster around the corner

I pray to God let her not lose faith in herself

The devil has sucked out the last drop of joy from her life

I try to cheer her up with my idiotic jokes

She laughs a little and in between that laughs

I can see flashes of anguish

She was really trying hard to hold back her tears

I avoided looking to her eyes

Because they bore marks of the befallen tragedy

Why does her dew drop earrings

Remind me of teardrops……..

I have never seen that eyes again

But I hope to find it again one day

I hope one day she will come and give me

A tap on my shoulder, taking me by surprise

I hope to see the smile on that face again

It’s sometimes better to bury

Our sorrows with ourselves

Not telling something, is not the same as lying

Or is it worse than lying?

Some things are better unsaid

Why spread your sorrows

When all those around you are

On a quest for happiness

Mourning

Most of the spring flowers have fallen
Moist ground soaks up their faded colours
Last of the spring flowers they are
Lost in the seasons change
Almost at the end of their life
Boosting their last drop of energy

Ghosts of the memories
Frost of the night chills

Why does the moon

Smile on me when I mourn

And the stars mock
Why am I such a moron

Looking so morose
So afraid to face the morning

All I want is kindness, a morsel
My sadness is just a monodrama
Maybe it’s because I am a monotheist
What can I do to change my mood
Sing a song once, twice or more

Why am I deaf to others consoling words
Can’t they understand their words r useless
And I am drowning in the sea of misery
With a piece of my heart missing
