Trespassers











Abandon this place...


It's a no man's land...





Trespassing would fail...


As you could never leave...





All it appears is hazy...


The fog appears never to leave...





How will you find your way...


In this barren world unseen...





Some torn paintings...


Across broken walls...





The paint of which...


Is damp and cold...





Tired windows peeping out...


The doors hold some "nothings" inside...





The ceiling is full of stars of dreams...


Which hide behind cobwebs...ripped!





The dusty tables gaze at shadows...


Of books that lie at million truths...





The floor holding walls upright...


Was playfully slippery once upon a time...





Now lies beneath...


Dust of time...





Some riddles across the walls...


Have become the pictures of the lost...





Toys wrapped in papers of dust...


Lie scattered like the early morning mist...





You'll never get anything here...


But you cannot leave without a tear...





Trapped whispers in hinges of doors scream...


Lonely places are really very lonely...





They talk of shadows and the light...


But not about how and why...





Anonymous people have been living in this darkness...


And innumerable ran away frightened...





Many wanted to steal what's not theirs...


Ended up being stolen of their breaths here...





A far away dream 


Becomes a nightmare here...





It's this world that has 


Never been so mysteriously dangerous before..





Don't think of crossing the barriers...


You'll surely end up dead here.

I'll be gone...









I'll be gone....


I
am leaving today...


May
be this was due someday...


But
I think that day is today...


Some
barriers crossed...


Some
I lost to...


My
legs aching now...


My
ink drying now...


Mind
is nearing an ending fence...


To
cross it and I'll meet my end...


This
journey would end this way...


I
didn't know but it has to today...


I'll
spend this very breath...


All
alone, going insane...


Keeping
myself isolated from all...


I'll
build a very very tall wall...


No
one shall enter...


And
I won't escape...


Would
keep myself buried, misplaced...


In
a place where I know no one...


And
no one reaches me...


An
end in seclusion...


To
myself and only me...


Only
the wind would carry me...


Moistly
and silently...


Till
you read me....


I'll
be gone...

Life is a withering winter

 When people ask me... do I still remember you? I go in a trance, my lips hold a smile and my eyes are visible with tears about to fall. I r...
