I prayed for mercy before the almighty,
His silhouette stared back at me,
Helpless were his hands,
The human creation bowed down before me.

His houses everywhere,
Demons and gods,
All housed in the same shrine,
I peeped in for help, despair.

I slit across the vein that held my breath,
The pain drenched my hopes, I implored for relief,
For a moment, I hesitated, because, her,
I was not yet ready to die.

Memoirs of days gone, brought a smile,
In the dead of the night, this wasn’t early,
The gaffe, I regret, but none could be done,
Because death couldn’t wait for me.

They searched catlike, they squeezed with ease, They bared to illustrate felony of law, They undressed with nothing to hide, They exposed their better parts, with emotions untainted. They slowly moved to mutualism, They shared belongings not meant to be though, They sensed the need though the fear loomed, Yet the old barn kept the worship undeterred. They painted castles on the barn fence, With colors unknown, they ...

Tears

Have to admit that after a real long time I shed tears today. The sheer memory struck a rhythm and the pathos flowed promptly. It neither gave me a reason nor a chance to question it. I don't really recall shedding tears off late. Something is changing. Is the world ending?

A/506

The sun bid farewell to the day, The white round shone, The scene set around the lake, Crowd started settling in, One after the other, the bell rang, All laughing and joy, The big, tall, small and round, They all came to what they call A/506, The sound of the tv blared hared, The giggles and smiles, Out came the glasses, Poured in white and golden, The cards played its part, I lost all judgement, Kept playing till all, Quit and i lost, Golden kept me at bay, Saw one drop after other, Made a serious effort, To stay till last, Succeed did i most of times, This time, the balcony, lost, All its old customers, people, I looked across the balcony, waiting, For them to return.
