Ode To Self

Wine tears Flowing through the contours of cheeks To reach these valleys residing in heart Listen Let the echo jump into this abyss Until it reverberates like a suicidal cry And breaks like a rope Adamant on giving second chance to life Cloud covered skin Akin to those shaded sins of past Listen Let them shine under the sun Like an uncut diamond Diffracting regrets into million little stories of sorrows Till your world gleem like a toddler's smile Doesn't this give you hope? Why are you scared to be forgiven? Lakeless lands filled with thoughtless mines These granides burst in your heart Every single night Until you strangle your dreams with a sigh Listen Donot wake up soon Or you will see the collateral damage reality did Why aren't you hopeful today? Let me kill you sweetly Your mind, a salem witch Your body, a pyre Listen This ashened ground carries the pieces of your past How long will it last? Why don't you see the light? Your lustrous hair Tangled in fate Your beauty, a jaded queen of a losing kingdom Entraps your lies Like a chameleon, Don't you see this truth changing shades Listen Why do you wait? Don't you know these lungs are filled with the last breaths of dying self Why don't you sing me the song of separation? This is an obituary Written inside a square on a local newspaper A young heart died Carrying all the weight of wasteful existence Now it beats slowly Like the last notes sung by a faulty radio Why don't you dance? Are you scared to be given a chance? Your hands, Soft Labourless Intertwine with those weightless waves of time Listen Hold strong, for her fingers dance like that of a pianist Ah! you might lose control Don't you feel this cadenza of heartbeats? Adrenaline rising like the crests of the sea Why don't you sit calmly and breathe? Your feet Like paperboats Lose their way Amidst the sandfilled water Sinking They shriek Like an alarm signalling tsunami Listen Don't you see this humongous life Slowly eating you alive? You, a princess of a town With earthfilled crown Wears auburn skies on her skin Where the sun never sets Like a nauseating child With voice trapped mid way Scream Scream Until the earth stops spinning And Alaskan winters dawn upon your soul Burning with cold Until this universe screeches to halt And heavens fall like rain Gods like droplets collect in your hands Begging to evaporate into nothingness Taking away the casualty of your birth A wildfire spreading beneath your veins Listen Don't freeze into reality Live For this tale is a fiction of a dying writer You may not get any end Immortal, your unending story Thunders around As people close the windows of their homes And you like hobo, a child of wind Wanders alone, forgotten What a curse Dont you know You should have accepted yourself a long ago
