turning sides in lonely night

Turning sides in bed is a new normal
I don't force myself to sleep now
Had done it million times already
Efforts of sleeping get wasted
Night by night in the black nothingness.
Of course this was not like this,
When we used to sleep side by side.
But it started after your going away that
My chest misses the tickle of your fingers
My hair miss the strokes
Of your sweet hands.
My cheeks and lips miss 
The soft kisses if your lips.
Laying in bed, thinking of you
The night walks all way with me,
And my thoughts of you.
In morning I beg forgiveness to your reminisce,
I preserve the eternal requiem of yours
For the coming night.

blazing loneliness

Something at me stares fast,
which leaves me in fear and aghast
It tends to harm me,
it sometimes threatens me
I live in my life in terror.
It follows me wherever I go,
It imitates whatever I do,
It often looks at my body,
with eyes red and glance shady.
I run back home with fear
it shoots me with whetted spear.
I fall down and I scream,
waking up I realise, it was my dream.
I contemplate what had me chasing,
it was nothing but my loneliness blazing.

can't we go to the village

I don't like it here 
can't we go to the village?
Its too noisy here
can't we go to the village?
Gusts of crowd everywhere
can't we go to the village?
I hate these clouds of dust in the air,
can't we go to the village?
This air chokes me
can't we go to the village?
This house is stuffy and smelly
can't we go to the village?
There are no trees in sight,
can't we go to the village?
People are bad to each other
can't we go to the village?
There is no river around to bathe in
can't we go to the village?
Her son asked her this question again,
can't we go to village?

I'll picture you

I'll smoke a cigarette
And I'll picture you in my mind.
I'll picture every moment 
That we've lived until you left me.
The white cloud of smoke
Will make your face out of it.
I'll look at your face of smoke but,
it vanishes the other moment.
Then my cigarette will also be finished
But my wish to see you, would not.
So I'll lit another,
And produce another cloud of smoke
Again your face appears in the smoke.
This will go on until my stock of cigarettes last,
Then I'll tear off my hairs out of agony
And I'll wail out your name. 

If I stand up and walk

So, what if I stand up and walk right now, What's stopping me? Am I a chained gladiator bound to fight and suffer, And be a means of amu...
