smile..

A sinking captain of a sinking ship

Sunlight blinds my eyes and ignominy my visage

Sea water in my eyes

Maddening silence in my ears

Or perhaps I have gone deaf

That I can not hear the clamour of refusal coming from the sea.

All I have is a sinking feeling

That too sinks with me.

Unable to belong anywhere

My tears too float

May be they are denser

Or may be they are just dense..

Love..stubbed out

Love like a cigarette burns,
To ashes my heart turns.

With time the flame dies,
Stubbed out on an ashtray love lies.

Wounds black and grey spattered,
Pieces of my ashen heart scattered.

Stifling pain hangs dense in air,
Passion freezes into a meaningless stare.

I try hard to make sense of what lies before me,
But smoke and only smoke fills eternity.

Like a cruel heart I kick dead dogs,
And put to fire lifeless hopes.

Caught between knowing and not knowing I gradually perish,
Like smoke I hang mysteriously in air and vanish.

Another day ends just like the last one,
Another cigarette burns just like the last burn.
