Highway




A deserted Highway
Abandoned cars and trucks
Badly burnt
At middle of nowhere
No trace of survivors
No trace of hooligans
A story unfolded
In fields nearby
Scattered feminine attires
 And inner wears
Villagers nearby
Revealed the horror
The loot and the battering
Abductions and rapes
Desperate run to save lives
Refuge and silence
Longest wait for the dawn
Of freedom
In the jail of night
As lust and greed
Hid behind the thuggery
To chase down innocence
And erase the evidence
Journeys of joy
Turned out as nightmares
Home remained so far away
Scars of night accompanied
The escape journey
Justice remained beyond reach
As defenders of law remained

Inaccessible

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
