MY POSSESSIONS

Everybody is lost in their own world,

Inside me thrives the anxieties of a drunken man,

Sadness has arrived at my doorsteps to engulf my heart

Clouds of distress are hovering around my eyes

And my eyes have got moistened with it.

The road before me looks pathless

It has lost it’s destination and leads nowhere

I am here to walk to my home all alone

The road talks to me in its silence

The road is my only companion in this dark.

The moon is there peeping from the sky,

Whenever I see the moon, it reminds me of my loneliness

Whenever I see it, it brings to my mind

Those lost dreams, lost lives and lost love;

Things that came to my life, just to depart.

While walking in the daylight’s scorching sun

My heart is nothing but a particle of dust

Constantly stamped on by the people passing the road

Sometimes tries to rise but settles on the same place,

The place from where it formed.

My heart finds peace in the deep forests

Where the sun showers it’s long rays-

Filtering through the gaps of the leaves

There, exactly there, my heart rests in the solace of the shade

To find the gentle love of darkness and the brightness.

Near the river bank, my heart murmers with the river

Sings along with the melody of the boatman’s heart

Silences with the sad looking dark mountains

Settles along with the setting sun and

Calms down with the quietness of the night life.
