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.

Goodbye...

 

Why do I feel...

Am gonna miss You much?

May be am in trance...

With your words.

Some shinning stars in eyes...

Across the windows.

I see you...

In my own shadows.

The bleak, the sleek;

The incomplete.

Thoughts often ride...

Never on seats.

Take my word...

I'll surely miss you.

May be you won't ever know...

And I won't ever show...

Don't take my name...

Like that...In one breath.

I'll lose my every breath...

Each passing moment.

Trembles my heart...

Whenever your thoughts sweep.

Deep into my mind...

My thoughts weep.

Close by,

Another voice echoes...

Don't forget...there's someone,

Waiting in meadows.

Hold my hand...

Just before I lie.

May be my dreams would sigh...

When I die.

Turned upside down...

My world ruins every time.

Whenever...

You wave me that...

Goodbye.

My Shadow....

In hope of the rising sun.....

The night dances with the breeze....

Shadows dance with darkness hand in hand....

All day, lying under the feet....

How come you are not hurt dear shadow....

Under my foot the whole day.....

Sometimes behind and sometimes ahead....

Yet in darkness, you become me and I become you....



Mingling in each other You my shadow...

And I the darkness I hold in me....

You are not a shadow but me ,that oblique...

Who fights to stay alive like me....



Mirroring my reflection on the floor...

Making the floor know more....

You are not a body,yet....

You are me all the more....



You touch the ends of mine.....

Making a wish to join me back....

But not a moment I weep....

On this impossible opportunity....



In darkness, we are one....

You hide in me, I confide in You...

And what else I may choose....

You remain with me , I remain with You...



You leave me in brightness all alone...

And sometimes tease me, following me from nowhere....

And then you show me the way by walking ahead of me....

And at last join me to sleep....

The Day will follow.....

The morning sun on its way.....
Climbs up and there it stays.....

How boring is to wait alone.....
To see all going home....

The noon got shunned away.....
The orange, yellow light died at bay.....

What made it, casted a spell.....
And down went the orange jewel....



The shades of clouds that made no sound......
Moved as if in a jungle , moves a hound.....

The prey is hidden well in the cave.....
And the predator is on its way......



Shadows approach and lay on the ground.....
Knowing well, below they will be found.....

When the darkness overtakes....
It will be felt in every place.....



But it's still time for eyes to close.....
Put off the lights and close the doors....

The stars begin to twinkle their smiles.....
And the sky looks like a beautiful bride.....



The silence singing its song to the ears.....
You don't notice, yet so near.....

Overtaking your tired body and soul....

Dreaming with eyes closed......



And all is this....
The day will follow every night.....
And it never does rest in quiet....

 

Silent Dusk.......

Silent
is the dusk......

When darkness sets its arms to touch.......



The orange
shadows of its pleasure ......

 Left in the east to set in the
west.........



And still beholding the loneliness..... 

Which stops at bay
in a silent melody.......



In this silence...... 

When night falls in love with the dusk.....



Reaching to hug it near the shores......

And whispers in it's ears ......



The moment they meet......

Is only this.......



For dusk reunites with the dark......

And celebrate happily the day's end.....



Dusk meets itself 

mirroring the darkness within...



Holding in arms the night like a bride......

kissing it after day's bright light.....



Night dances until it is weak.....

And on its knees, it comes with ease.....



Leaving the dusk on one end.....

It says goodbye for another hunt......



Dusk remains in the bed......

Till evening chants its name again.....



And when it wakes only to hold.....

The night and say goodbye at last.....
