The road dazzled with lights moving
A broken divider lay in the dark
Words few hung from it
Covered with dusty dreams and salty water
Scared, I checked for mine in my ears
Different these were, completely alien
I Picked up the carefree smirk, that never left
A cold wind blows, a warm assurance brought
A familiar voice, the naughty laughter
A split second, the deafening silence.
A thousand ifs, the merciless truth
A rode dazzled, the divider broke
When it is hard for the eyes to spot the difference
Between reality and virtual reflection
The commotion in the mind searches for reminiscence
But in vain goes all the introspection
He looks through the glass of guilt made
Translucent by the scars of selfishness
Yearning to do righteous deeds slowly fade
Trapped in the comfort zone exposing helplessness
Focused on the light he tries again
Trusting the trees and leaves to be real
He breaks the glass leaving weakness’ feign
To climb to the roof enchantingly surreal
Upon reaching the top he turns and sees
The journey traveled from dungeons to sky
Tired, he deep breathes the refreshing breeze
Lived and loved enough, he now wasn’t scared to die
The texture of white over a canvas of blue
Delicate petals, refreshing with dew
Koels singing a melody so sweet
A cool breeze touching the giant Banyan feet
The texture of yellow mixed with shades of green
Like love blooming from nature so serene
Fresh is the fragrance of red buds waiting to bloom
To become a blanket of cheer, covering all gloom
Who would have thought a night so dark
Tearing the heart like the teeth of a shark
Would be erased in a moment – the scorning
By the new life, generated early morning
In a world drowning in darkness
A few colored speckles came in sight
Lost in the venom their hearts harness
I saw pearls brilliant and bright
I looked little closer
Leaving the lens and trusting the eyes
To observe the poser
And finding the facts, leaving the lies
I figured my flash was off
Making the masquerade shown to thee
That darkness I despised to scoff
Existed because of nothing, but me.
Happy time when prevails
When plans are made like fairy tales
Eyes when shine like a sparkling gem
Unaware of tears waiting behind them.
The hour turns, seems as if stopped
The dreams crushed, and smiles mopped
Darkness engulfs, impossible to see
Gazing at the sky, one just wishes to flee.
Failed to understand, the theory of life
After ripening, the fruit goes to knife
But the story doesn’t end here
For time is little, too large is life.
After the darkest before dawn
Sparrows chirp in a distant lawn
A minute speckle of light shines
Gives the hope to end the whine.
In the darkest corners of the world
In a blink the dark is hurled
To turn despair into hope and delight
Just remember to switch on the light.
