I was flying beguiled in my seamless sapphire sky, surging storm of agony from nowhere slashed me down. No one ever cared for the injured beleaguered bird that I hided within me clasping the broken heart. Rhapsody of rainbow morphed into morose mélange, bled baroque colors bleached from the twilight cloud. Rainstorm spread spoilt debris of the splintered spirit, the sordid shades of grey painted the frayed linen of love. The requiem of roses resonated in melancholic medley, the petals pined with dripping tear drops of morose dew. Desiccated in somber sunshine within the deserted mind, the faded flowers made the posy of passing passion. In dissonance encapsulated in the cauldron of mute melody, disordered symphony got dismantled in the discord waves. Strained smiles sneered the scarred scenario of split lone life, songs turned into convoluted noise echoed by the sliced soul. The lattice of life seen through the languid cynic lens, magnified into crooked contortion of deformed essence, forcing me to get disoriented in the waste of wreckage, as the ruins of strained emotion dissipated building tension.
