Revelation



The untouched skin of the self
Amazes me like the fluidity of existence

The tune was echoing pangs of agony and despair, clubbed with an absolute sense of alienation with my own being. I was getting consumed by this vast emptiness that comfortably had spread itself in the house. With each passing moment my sanity was getting compromised, leaving behind a meaningless existence at the brim of its decay.

The bus rides to the morning school, And, fading of faces along the road.    Holding memories of those days, And, trying to keep the visions safe. I witnessed all that and much more, In your eyes and the stories, you told. Soon, an intimacy grew in the remote, Even in the silences we began to emote. Unspoken feelings entwined in the tales, Dreamt for a house built of glass panes. Simplicity which you wear with pride, And things you hide with rolling eyes. Naked words for sure would cost a dime, But, wrapped in wink only cast a smile.
