POETRY : MEANT TO FADE AWAY

MEANT TO FADE AWAY…

There was a world free of care,

Where time didn’t fly, and people didn’t stare,

Where the meadows remained green,

Yes, there was a time; there had to be;

A time, somewhere in between.

When love not glitter, united brothers,

When there stood a helping hand,

At every street, at every bend,

To dust off all blues,

To be the human, the human god had sent!

The fields were endless, the greenery magnified,

Where we were rocked our lives’ cradle,

Yes there was a time; there had to be;

A time, simple yet mystified.

What we are now and what we were ages back,

What we could have been…

What lies today are just memories,

Now scrambled on paper,

We try and fail everyday to mend our lives astray,

Yes, there was a time; there had to be;

A time, meant to fade away.

POETRY : SUFFOCATION

SUFFOCATION

Something snaps; pulls me underneath,

With sheer gust and overwhelming strength,

I know I can resist, but I can’t fight!

His resolve remains unquestioned.

I am a frail, tethered leaf,

How shall I fight the multitudes?

How shall I seek my way?

Through this unnerving crescendo!

Never belittle life, they say.

We chose what we chose to be,

Yet I feel that fallacious drive,

To blame my alter-ego at futility!

Why can’t I give in?

To this suffocating paranoia!

I am not gasping for breath,

I am in dire need for.

Deep down my haunted past,

Something flickers…

I wish I was bold enough!

I wish I hadn’t dawdled;

At the expense of uncertainty!

The longings are no longer mine,

I didn’t know when I was sweetly strangled,

I don’t know, why a day fades away,

Moments came and moments went,

I wish I could turn away…
