Caged in relations,
bounded by commitments,
imprisoned by society,
chained by customs.
...

You swore to walk along,
through my highs & lows.
Still you’ve left me alone,
In this race of life.
...

When the night begins,
a fear comes from within.
In these lonely ways,
there's no one who forever stays.
...

The time has been changing eversince,
the stories have been rewritten,
so many people have become history,
major happenings of past are forgotten chapters.
...

Your eyes deeply penetrating into mine,
conveying every word & line.
Igniting the fire of your love,
making it harder, to sustain my nerve.
...

Satanic stratus benighted the world,
An era of destruction unfurled.
Evil clenching the pristine souls,
Verdure shriveled; rising human toll.
...

As those slumberous eyes retire
seeking for comfort and relief,
I pray to the Lord, to absorb all his
agony as he sleeps.
...

Incarcerated within these derelict walls
portraying the mosaics of your malignity
desolated and scourged
screams muffled in deafening silence
...

My pagan soul acted blasphemously all life
immune to the consequences of profane deeds done
but resting on deathbed as I awaited my demise
entrapped in the circle of life and death, hell and heaven
...

Sapphire studded choker of silver
a token of tender affection
reminiscence of bereaved beloved
once a treasure
...

Today, when I saw you again,
So many moments were revisited.
I had a dream walk down the memory lane.
I could feel the same numbness, I felt,
...

I lay curled in a dark corner,
Forming a blanket around,
Feeling insecure and unprotected,
Rejected and dejected,
...

With a restless past week
& uneasiness all around.
The day is finally here
within me I could here a mournful sound.
...

People whom you love can be
out of your life but not your mind.
Everything related to them around you
let the past moments to unwind.
...

No matter how long may be distances,
no matter I draw thousand fences.
Still you are there in my heart,
no barriers, no arguments have been able to draw you apart.
...

World is taking a sharp turn,
humans today are technology driven,
Ornamented with Gizmos and Gadgets,
devoid of them and they hardly run.
...

A mystical night contriving the threads of destinies
as the secluded alabaster castle scintillates alienation of her soul
palisade of glaciating waterfalls skirting its impenetrable bounds
moonlight-shimmers creating a chimerical canvas occulting the cynicism
...

Sanguinity coffined
buried in the graveyards of despair
My soul asphyxiated
within the coop of savage love
...

Her beautiful visage, a snare and delusion
screening the verity of her malicious character
A deceitful smile, an enchanting flattery
baits for her tonight’s hunt
...

A dulcet euphony reverberating in the ambience,
Starlit darkness adding to the evening’s crepuscular charm,
Air aromatized by floral carpets,
shrouding the place with an aura of love,
...
