When the Past Calls……......

He lied on the lush grass

Contemplating about his life

 When he heard a melancholy song

That drew him in and like a fluid flowed in his mind

The words of the song reminded him of a past

That was now dead and forgotten

Hidden in a forbidden land

That no one sane dared to trespass

The plaintive song struck his heart strings hard

A lump formed in his throat

Making him cough hard

The tune started to sting ripping his ears

He felt as if blood was spurting out from within

Dysphoria wrapped around him like a venomous shroud

While he jerked in hysteric directions

Like a madman he shouted

Lord! Save me! Save me!

As the song came to a halt

He tried to regain his calm

Tears burned at the back of his eyes

Through excruciating pain

He remembered the words of the Psalm

“Even though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death

I fear no evil, for you, are with me”

As he strengthened his resolve

Shoving away his dreaded past

And continued his lone journey

On an unknown, less travelled path

When the past calls

It makes him stumble and fall

Subtly poisoning his conscience

Inch by inch breaking his resilience

Making him dead and hollow

Through every passing mile

My Sins

O! My love, O! My sweet

I ask thou to slay me

For my sins have hurt thee

Allow my slaughtered body to lie in thy feet

Futile is my existence

I feel like a nonentity

As my unholy deeds

Have bruised not just one but many

I am the reason behind the tears

Which trickle down thine eyes

I am the one whose malice

Has caused this apocalyptic tide

O! My love, O! My sweet

Thy honey smooth skin

Is covered in blisters because of me

I beg thy sacred soul to rupture my grotesque heart!

And wing it in a far off sea     

     

Solitude

Amidst all the laughter, voices and cheers
There was a soul who moved here and there
Unnoticed and unheard it crept in the shadows
Hoping it might find someone in the crowd that echoed

But no one came and no one saw
How devoid was her soul she thought
As she sat on a nearby bench
Inhaled and exhaled lonliness
That made her heart wrench

Solitude was her only friend
That wrapped around her every now and then
Not caring about her blemishes
Accepting her without any second guesses

I....

Devastation grips me I can't find my way out

"Where are you my savior?" My heart shouts

But there was nothing, no one but eerie darkness

Surrounding me and pulling me into the emptiness

Oh Lord! I cried in the dark of the night

Would my life ever be beautiful and bright?

There was nobody who answered or even cared to listen

The noise of my soul, ravaged and broken

I ran and ran and ran

But could not find the gate

That would lead me out of this pit of misery to a place where i could find peace again

Fear hammer locked me

Leaving me in a tousled state

Pain engulfed my body

Severely wounding my gait

Tears flooded out of my eyes

I could see my end approaching

I lied on the dead leaves

And started weeping

Not a single soul heard my sobs

Nobody came to my rescue

A venomous gale hit me

And i knew i wouldn't make through

My heart dropped

I was ready to die

I had accepted my fate

But suddenly i heard a voice, wry

"Don't let your strength fade

Protect it before it's too late."

Those words sank in my skin

And gave me courage to stand and up was my chin

The world may not be in my favor

But i will always be

Don't need any savior

As a rescuer lies within me

I mustered all the courage that i could

And the invisible manacles around my wrists broke

My cry pierced the night

And a ball of light blinded my sight

I heaved the luminous cannon in the air

The ball tore the darkness

And the entire forest illuminated

Sunlight once again fell on my face

As i gazed

At the beauty of Mother nature

That reflected the beauty of my own stature

A triumphant smile plastered my face

As i wondered in amazement  

Tears

Tears of happiness filled his eyes

He felt like the happiest man alive

When he saw the tiny body of his son

His delicate face made his heart burst

Burst into eternal bliss

As today he was blessed

With the best gift

That God could ever give

He shouted all about the streets

"Annabeth! I'm a father" He exclaimed as he passed Dunken's Eatery

"Ricky! Did you hear I’m a father?"

He screamed, shrieked and shouted in joy as if he had reached infinity

But the doctors revealed something bitter

That made him shiver

A fatal heart disease his son had acquired

On hearing this, his soul was on fire

He tried his best

Consulted every doctor in town

He prayed all day and night

But the prayers couldn't save his son from dying

His heart sank deep

All that he could do now was weep

He felt half dead

With pain seeping in his body every second

A year has passed now

But the wound is still fresh somehow

As he sheds a tear almost everyday

Asking Lord "Why couldn't my son stay?"
