Where clocks keep ticking
but time refuses to move on
Where unbreakable silence dominates
and kills voices brutally
Where air freezes still
heavy upon the lungs
I live there
Where life is buried
Where vision is blurring fast
erasing reasons for something I no more remember
Where movement is condemned
statues are ordered to smile
Where feelings sink in the swamp
struggling till the end
I wait there
Where hope is forbidden
Where tears are burned alive
and spreads a drought within
Where directions are mirage
disappear before being seen
Where pity is insatiable
and wrecks everything to quench its thirst
I am injured there
Where cuts deepen as they heal
(turns out to be quite negative...but reached the last line within less than 5 minutes, before I could realize what I was writing. So in a way the poem wrote itself :P...i am innocent :D. Sharing anyway!)
You wrote that in 5 min?? :O That's brilliant! the meaning's quite deep actually! (y) BRAVO!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Harsh...when times are tough, we do think deep :) except for a couple of edits afterwards, this poem was written without a break for thinking. Otherwise I take minimum 20 minutes for a poem of this length.
