Dark Shadows of Lost Love

I am watching the dark shadows 

Of the ones who left me 

Without a goodbye 

From the balcony of my somber mind 

I want to throw the crumpled papers 

In which I wrote love letters

At the shadows 

And burn them with fire from my heart

I want to desecrate the shadows with 

The ashes from the papers 

Painting my agony 

Smoke may reach them in nightmares

Depriving them the joy of peaceful sleep

Like I am suffering everyday

For one night for 

Reminding them the pain of losing love 

 

A poetry based on #DarkLines word prompt .

Lost Love

A journey from chaos to silence was agonizingly slow

A journey from oblivion to smile was surprisingly brisk

The distance between the silence and smile is daunting 

Time flies with vanishing memories and withered bond

Strangers

Someday, we will meet, 

When we couldn't afford to, 

Somewhere midst chaos.

We never met,

When we could have, 

We had plenty of time

To explore sands and hills

Together, in search of freedom

Destiny or fate, We didn't

Our dreams withered away

In the drought of our silence,

While we weaved them in winter,

With a hope to splash in monsoon

Now the spring bloom hollow smiles

Mocking at your portrait of memoir

You will walk past me, like a stranger

With a silence that ill fits a radio

With a smile, hidden somewhere

Saying hello to an old buddy

That's all left in between us

Lonely

Laboring days and nights with an aura of funeraL

Obsolete like a buried tree on an active volcanO

Nagging someone, guilt- ridden to seek a returN

Even as the door of reconciliation blare in flamE

Left with suave memories in company to prevaiL

Yearns for love to arise from the ruins as a fancy

Emptiness

Endless voyage leading one to nowherE

Muddling the mind like a shrewd worM

Playing the tunes of poignance in a looP  

Tiring the senses with hot rains of guilT

Irking the feeling of loneliness like chillI   

Nesting the darkness as a soulless EdeN  

Embracing the tears as a shelter of frailE

Silencing the soul with frozen emotionS

Surrendering the love of life to thoughtS

Helpless Moments

Some moments freezes as it is

Refuses to melt down

As if, it is an imprint to live with

The more I try to forget it

The more it haunts me

A deep regret within my soul

A plight I tried to avoid

I chased the time, to catch some air

Even the shortest distance from safety

Looked so distant, on a night slept in silence

But, my legs weren’t strong enough

In that night of misfortune

I prayed for all the luck

There was nothing left in my destiny

A hollow mind and a strangled heart

Kept me drowning,

While I tried to hold on to the hands of hope

I still ask myself, why I am so slow to react

When it matters the most!

I wonder why I forgot even the sense

To make a simple call , I panicked

As I saw the last breath gasping to the doom

Stood numb and signed that record

On final moment of your life

I still can’t forgive myself

For failing to save you, by a whisker

A few minutes,

I wished I could buy those moments

And give you a breather

While I saw

 You flying away from me forever

Leaving my hands

I still haven’t found my promised land

Without you, I am still wandering

silence of the soul

Silence of the soul

Aftermath a long journey

Leaves behind countless questions

Unanswered

Yet, everyone ask beloved

What happened?

Without knowing what to say

To console them

To overcome the pain of irrecoverable loss

The tears of the loved ones

Raise questions towards heaven

Hoping that it will be heard

Why did you do it?

We all were here for you

We were part of your happiness

We celebrated it as ours

But when you had a sorrow

You thought, you were alone

Now, we are helpless

We have to survive through this life

With a regret that we couldn’t heal your sorrow

We wish, you had kept some moments

To share your problem with us

We would have found a solution

Now, we can only shower our love for you

With our prayers for you

Goodbye

I am moving to a new shore

I have left a piece of my heart

At your door

Without knocking, like a trespasser

I hope you will open the door

I wonder if you will see it

It holds a piece of my dreams

Which I wished to share with you

It still carries the urn of my feelings

That I never expressed

I wished to conquer your heart

Silently, with a feather touch of emotions

Now, you are beyond my reach

As you have found your destiny

I wish to hold your smile

In my eyes forever as a precious gift

I still hear your voice, when I am alone

Through the realms of my ears

I don’t wish to see tears or fury

In your eyes

As I love it to remain vibrant

So, I won’t leave any words

That might hurt your beliefs

Though I wish to let you know

I’ve fallen for you

Right when I saw your eyes greeting me

Broken Dreams

I was so happy in those green cloudy hills

A storm squeezed my dreams to silence

Now, take away the corpses of my dreams

It’s stinking inside my broken heart

It’s dead and rotting in this idle morning

Last night, it bid adieu to my numb heart

I may slam it heartless for the excuses

I may hate it for leaving me in mid-way

But I know, I could do nothing about it

I will let the fate to feed upon my hopes

Like the scavengers feeding on leftovers

Now, I have a new sky, a new barren path

It’s forced upon me, but I take the blame

And I am walking towards a new destiny

Bleeding Tears

You cry, when you are hurt

It is same with others

When you hurt someone

You might not know, the depth of their wounds

That you inflicted upon their hearts

As you are kept away, from those grief

As they believe,

You won’t be able to understand it

They just wish a piece of mercy from you

Some moments of peace away from you

It’s not due to any hatred

They just wish for some calmer times

Not to be hurt furthermore

As they prefer to cry in the loneliness

Without letting, anyone see their tears

Sometimes, excessive tears can induce bleeding

Through the nose without any warning

The more they love you

The tears will be harder to stop

As they don’t expect you to hurt so bad

Unlike others

They panic to control the blood and tears

Yet without any anger or ill feelings

It’s cruel not to see the depth of that love

Be it friendship or any relation

You don’t have any right to hurt anyone

Even if they have hurt you once in past

Even if you don’t care

At least can spare them with their plight

If you care, apologize from heart

All those tears will melt down into relief

As you are someone with high esteem in their heart

Control your anger when you are with your beloved

Your words have power to heal or hurt

Measure it with precision to constrain

As even, you don’t wish to cause anyone to bleed

Unintentional, yet if someone bleeds with tears

Care them and make them feel better

And never make them cry again

Tears are dangerous than you think

There is no point in loving from heart

If you can’t show it when it matters

Sometimes words are enough to console

Spare some words and use the better ones  

Rather than cussing, just tell with calmness

What you feel, they will understand

If you wish their happiness

Never let them cry with your words

Cos tears bleeds sometimes

It’s painful than you can imagine 

Some times i find hard to control anger.Only later i realise that,ive hurt someone when i was angry.Well,unintentional rants can land someone in trouble with tears,Experience taught me this lesson.
