Distance depletes
those strings
they pull us closer
beats now heard louder...

instantly they connect...
those eyes...
one almost certain..
yet begins to pursue independence...
be it self or otherwise....

a reason of our existence
to be in arms...
if not
at least
a hope..
to face this shallowness
within ourselves...

lest be forgotten
amidst the absurdity of our existence..
least trying to retain
a reason...
before all this ends
before we perish;
a meaningless lot
nonexistent
in this perpetual abyss...

-

Dragged by death
into the abyss...

had kept my truth locked in box
long enough to be of
a memory
decayed by time..

bereft of someone's claim
now one of many souls lost in time...

-

She is it... she is all...
she was my beginning ..
she shall be my end..
of all I could be ..
of all I am..
my beating heart ..
my corroding soul...
my inane words...
my blooming prudent acts ...
to her it all belongs..
to her shall I surrender it all...

-

and then there was you..
all around...
from plinth to the stars..
the brightest of them all...
in everything that exists...
in everything that could be..
you are the beginning ..
of all...
and
to all...
you shall be the end..

-

I stand over this edge...
watching him stare at me from beyond...
Welcoming this Gentleman's attention
I prance around...
Contemplating my entire life
over this very effortless bound...

What will this leap mean?
Will it lift me up..
Succour my wounded soul.. to rise above all..
Or mine too will be lost in the abyss..
like many before me..

What could this leap promise me??
A silence.. probably from this world's barbaric yawp..
Or will it continue to haunt me forever..
this despair of mine...

This leap of mine..
Will it end it all..
All that resides within me..
These crowded emotions
creating a pandemonium within me...
Or will they all find a new friendly host..
bring him/her to this very edge again..

Death, you kind gentleman,
may you enlighten me...
Will I find my peace beyond this leap..
Is there any light..
beyond this dark world...
Is there any hope...
beyond this chaotic, disdainful and
obscure entity that we call life.

Hush! Hush! Hush!
You shall not speak up 
     for You live in a democracy defined by limits
Lend Your voice to the Power's delight
    there shall be no debate, You have no side
You do not possess Their Might
    thus have no right
So just stay quiet.
    You see basically, this is a Democracy...

Sing! Sing! Sing!
Join Their chorus, now
    You shall not speak against
Bereft  of the truth
    this world believes Their convenient lies
This fight for your right, your conscious voice
    shall be crushed beneath Their dogmatic uprise,
Your ideological cries and informed opinions
    are feeble amidst
    the bedlam of Their ill-informed minions,
So, sing Their song, sing it along,
    to them it belongs,
this invidious "free-world"

Shush! Shush! Shush! 
Do not look outside, 
     for there are things you shall not see
Do not question everything,
     for there are answers you aren't entitled to seek,
You shall too, 
     walk along among as blind,
or Just stay put,
    go on now,
    doing your demeaning deed.
You see basically,
    this is a democracy..

.....
She proffers her arms ...
She is my lifeboat..
I know if I hold onto her.. I will be saved..
I stretch out my arms..
But a concious voice within me forces me to withdraw..
I know it, deep within,
that if I hold on,
She will drown too, into this ocean of abyss..
I let go of my emotional bond with life..
I retreat, before I could pull her along with me...
I am now, one with darkness..
I am now, the abyss staring back at her..

-

Take off your skin
Let me take mine off too..
Soul to soul shall we all...
lets reconnect..
get to know each other
deep within
heart to heart
to every beat .
the raw, the unfiltered and the eccentric you...
the one before all this judgemental change..
the one who you really are..
you shall forever live within the bohemian me...

-

But I know she gazes at me with hope...
to look within me...
searching probably for a soul...
taunting me of keeping one intact, within herself.
how can I tell her...
that her search here...
shall remain inane..
she will not find one, no more..
how do I even tell her...
that to live this life of mine...
I had been dead many times before.

-

Hushhhh!! hush! you shall not speak up or speak against..
For you live a democracy defined by limits..
Keep your voice down cause you live in a "free world"..
And why shall you speak something that does not taste right to the one holding the power..
You do not posses that might
Thus have no right..
So just stay quiet..

Do not look outside for there are things you should not see..
Do not question for there are some answers you shall not seek..
Just stay put, quite and do your deed..
You see, basically this is a democracy..
