The Beseeching Poem by Lal Parameswar

Songs of hope, turn me deaf,
Let me not hear the lies destined,
Colours of life, turn me blind,
Let me not see this world so dark,
Warmth of desires, make me numb,
Let me not feel this emptiness
Sense of peace, kill my empathy,
This vanity, this solitude drowning my soul,
The heart is empty, hopes are shallow,
The blood is thick and dark with despair,
Wings of love, push me into oblivion,
Away from this frosty eternal madness,
The fallen fell in love with death,
The death that gives birth to life.
