I’m starting to fade
Forget all the retentions
Start for a new day
Even I didn’t success
I’ve already admit it
T ommorow talks tough,
A sking all already answered,
T ackling today's threshold
T hrough time's turf,
E voking equable emotions
R oundly rocking retentions,
E verlastingly entrapped
D uring dreams devastatingly drapped;
H elplessly hiding
O doriferous oddities,
P ushing perplexities past purpose's
E xtensively eroding ending.
A deep sleep guided me to the land of quizzical
Where the hallucination acted immortal as the souls from delusional
Those who ever filled the classic story of our time
Declared their presence in the shackles of uncertainty
I embraced my desire within
I found my anguish bloomed betwixt
I sank into the soul of crisis
Sensing the seconds of my fragility
Those lifeless souls grasp me there
Grasp depth as they would never be seen, again
A moment I was awakened from the dream
Along with the shadow which deserted to be fade
And the sense still there.. obscure...
My longing which buried by despair
Melting as the tears fell down
And let the dots of my dream be a dwelling place for my stained soul
And let those retentions sealed in every pieces of the journey
