Break

-

Taking a break from daily life is necessary, because you're not superman. The world may have equal good and bad, but the bad is easier felt than the good. If you don't let go of all 'bad' that you've been collecting in daily activities, it will burn you.




Break

Trapped in a box devoid of fluoresce,
And it's getting dimmer by the minute.
Someone switch the lights on,
Because people are tripping on baubles.


The walls are drawing closer and closer,
It's not long before they cave.
But it's no issue; not of concern,
The riches will fly off; the wretches will die.


Dark wakens the nightmares,
They're crawling all over the place,
They'll hold onto you and digest your brain,
Perhaps they already have!



           Where's the sympathy?
          Where's gone humanity?
          Search for it in any but human better -
           Because this animal has disowned its own.


           The world disdained in chaos,
           And they ask what is wrong?
           Why are you so silent?
           Come join us in the charade, they mean!


Oh you're no better than the crowd,
A joker in a gathering of clowns.
They've only let out -
What you have held tight!


So the fire lets them see outside,
The same fire that lets you peek inside,
But what of the box?
And what of the space?


What of the anger,
That's been raging since?
And what of the times
When you need to remember just to breathe?


Take a break,
Work on the span but don't haste into it,
Because in a world built on ambiguity,
Nothing really matters.

Afterlife

                Do you think there is life after death?                 Do you think there is life before? Enough time has passed for me to be able to forget things. Yet I remember them, as clear as the first crystals of ice, sinking down a tireless landscape. In fact, not a day has passed when these thoughts haven’t crossed my mind. No matter the place, the time, the people, these memories always sit somewhere in the back of my head – crawling and scraping through all that is left to be called a human. In commotion the renegades sweep away places, but there are some hidden at the centre of the stage – looking over all; overlooked by all. And I wonder why they came to be what they came to be.                 Asha, a young girl, stands at the centre of the city bridge every midnight – ignored, attended by none. I first met her on the 21 st of December, when I sat on the same bridge with the whiskey beside. No security – all smeared by the holidays. One shot; Two shots;

Echoes

From the lofty mountains that I stand against - At the edge of this cliff, Echoes a voice that no one can hear but me - It is alluring yet still stiff. What can the voice be but my thoughts? That resonate across these valleys; And have been doing so for many years now, So many that I have lost tally. I wonder if it is just me or all the likes of me - To whom the valley calls, Or who call the valley: Who have broken their bones on a padded fall - And have been living with patched skulls - Of a destituted, unprotected heart, Too innocent to know for the better, Is struck with the loss of its older part! For the new home seemed too good to leave, Alas! So lonely now is the valley of thoughts. Introspects are lost and tis caught, In an unknown - is it not? But the valley has a voice of its own, So it comes out seeking all those who groan - And reek in confusion and perplexity. Oh! This alone can never leave you alone! S

Castles

It is subtle, It comes in many forms. The castle we wish to build, Lies on a cloud of storms! In hope yet we lay the bricks, In passion we stack them tall; The castle is close to complete, When the storm blows it all. It comes in all shapes, At times early, at times late- And takes away all the construct, That could've made a castle great! The blown bricks fall from the sky, Hurt heads and hearts all alike; And there remains no explanation, To counter the pain that strikes! But the castle wasn't meant for us - But for all that have been hurt; And it's not the bricks that matter, But the pain absurd. For Castles built in a day are weak, They crumble with the slightest crack; But only cracks accumulated overtime, Build something that new-fold castles lack! And when the castle has seen, All that is and could be; It is a sanctuary, a humble abode - For not us, but all that were hurt in its making!
