WHY I STAY

                                         WHY I STAY?



these walls
don't feel home
they are void as a sarcophagus.

the foundations
I could rely upon are faulty.

I could not breathe
I am perishing
The roots exclaimed.

The petals and leaves
Drooling
Breathing in all the dry cold air

The tress
Moult and die

The water
Sits still and stagnant

this
Doesn't feel home?

Silence
feels deeper and deeper
The echoes in the hallway
Wander away

The scent of baked cookies
Lost the scent
of their trail.

All is left
Are shadows
With fear at each corner
so please tell me why I stay?

SERENE

                                               BACK TO HOME As I wake up I see through the curtains Warmth In the sky The chill In the breeze Joy sputtering in the air It was good to be home. I lie on Mom's lap The warmth and radiance Invading the chaotic soul We see The white fluffy clouds punctuating the blue-sky Sun peeping through the woollen blanket The frost coating on the grass Melting and falling On the green sheet The tree of gods Standing tall and solitary Stretching its arms. We could hear the grass whispering Lilies, daffodils,lady-like tulips blossoming The sucking of nectar Butterflies dancing in the wind Wait Can you hear the vibrations? My mother startled It was The buzzing of bees The rustling of the leaves The Pine's Citrusy odour Meddling with me. I wish I could Freeze these memories as the darkness began...

THE MAZE

THE MAZE I am in a maze  With all vague thoughts in my mind Pretending to find my way out  Out of a labyrinth I unquestionably walked in Hoping there will be an exit too Stuck and lost  But I don't know the exit Which way is safer anymore  I wipe off the map  End up obliterating every chance at absconding, Escaping the light, happiness Condemning every relationship Alas, end up blaming the vagabondage  Because of a lack of direction in my journey.                                                                                                                             @soulfulwriter

Caged

CAGED Society full of animation Threw me again now, I am just the blood that stains my pillowcases (apology) what pleasant delights will grace this presence? dried, desiccated heart coated with frostiness and chill in November. abandoned I will remain under the withered skin. just like the keratin debris present under the fingernails. my feet and hands numb As muscle dysfunction begins to function my pounding, spongy brain still trying to perceive the day's madness. sputtering psychosis scrubbing my neurotic soul all's that left is silence unnoticed In the echoes Of the vibrations Sent by the world. all that's alive is the base camp quiet with paracetamol lingering.                                                                                 ...
