all that loss
does not go away in a jiffy
tears cannot wipe them
the wounds stay fresh
below a little scratch
the rawness slows
the raging fires
in the heart…
hold on to you
stay afloat
this shall also pass
Tag: Peace
Blunt
A common fear
binding the unlikely,
in an invisible togetherness
the edge of the hatred
is getting blunt,
a sapling of love is
rearing its softness
in the eyes of the wise
while the fools are aghast
staring at the blunt weapon
in their hands.
Many went ahead
Walk before the tiredness
pulls you into a lull
feel before you can’t anymore
love before the dreams shatter
don’t let go of it
it’s your life.
Stay calm
no matter how much
torment the storm is causing.
Stay assured
since you feel that
this shall also pass.
Stay strong
never know where or when
the life takes the turn.
Many went ahead
many will follow
nothing new, nothing more or less.
Migrants
Sleepless dreams
barefooted anger
hands to mouth life
that you tore apart
Hapless and clueless
dying questions on the lips
churn in the stomach
clammy palms
up in a prayer
Absent
They lay beneath the layers
some seen and some absent
some quiet and some noisy
the fingers tremble
when trying to uncover the remnants
that send the shivers
down the spine
the feet freeze
the lights vacate
the eyes
