Dreams Of Driving In A Storm!!! Poem by Shagun Khera

I have dreams of driving in a storm
frenzied and amok
thoughts tear of from the rind of the soul
the darkness collides with the lightning flashes
and your face is all i see
and your voice is all i hear...
yet when i wake up
the sweat on the temple
and the strident din of the heart
is solaced by a cold comfort
hanging right in the front of my eyes
a picture of yours and mine...

Home is where i walk every night
missing home..
for the banshee within
wails the horror of loneliness
and i like a consequence of succumb
plummet inside the void of delusion
only to get ready
and leave this world one more time...

i have dreams of falling down from the sky
where St. Peters dubbed me unforgiven
and the hell has locked its door
only to push me
into an incorrigible abandon
back to suffering and pain
and the shackles smother me..
only till the point of relentless suffering
and not to let me loose
while i crave to be set free
and a resonating 'no' is all i hear
is all i feel...
and then drown in a temporary comma
only to rise up again
and fall harder, deeper, greater...

i have dreams...
of chasing myself away...
into a shallow of no return...
and all i do is get awake..
when all i want is an 'escape'!!!
