Against The Stream

Like a stark naked truth I stood alone
Burning in the rain like an inferno
The poison within surged from head to toe,
And the senses fell like a domino

Thoughts bared themselves at every ear
While returning to their abode to be tamed
The wanderer in them howled of tired legs
Their nomadic attitude to be blamed

The rain hit the thoughts, and into words they melted
Leaving me breathless and fuming
The words formed into a stream of lines
With the danger for the life in them looming

The stream hit the rock in me
Splashes soothing the voices in the head
It broke me down, grain by grain,
And to the sacred chamber of the heart it lead

Prejudice ruled roost in the kingdom
And on the atrocities of the mind they fed
Inhabitants of the heart were a wealthy lot
For, on the poison in me they bred

Like a snake seething in its own venom
The stream flowed into their land,
It brought with it the memories of me
The desert sand they couldn’t withstand

With their taboo rituals the dwellers marched
Effected by the tyrannies of change
They divorced their romance with the land
Like the cruel husband estrange

The stream flowed by, stacking the grains
And cleansed the poison and the thorns it laid
The granules formed the beach far and wide
Oh! The games that the heart played!

The stream stood still and the flowers bloomed
And sun shone bright above, standing tall
Empty were the lanes, and emptier the chamber
None were patient enough to view them all


And into my senses I came back
Still finding myself like a stark naked truth standing alone
The poison was gone and the inferno turned charade
The prevailing calm smiling with the numb undertone
