By Shubhi
A trickle of sound
A streak of light
A single word
Then an ageless night
A haunting silence
And wide-awake eyes
As tears of vehemence
Dropping from the skies
Air, that stands still
Moon, that mourns tonight
Why those stars glimmer so bright
When my cold lover, stays quiet
I shut my eyes with despise
And try to lure the sleep
But it treats me with a strange figure
Who’s sound gives me shivers down the spine
“A soul wanders
Leaving his host behind
Into space and time
As it all rewinds
To dusk or to dawn
Before you know..
It's all gone...”
My shreak, jitters all that there is
Yet nothing could wake my daunting lover
I stare and wait, wait to be curled
And no, he doesn't bother to even hurl
Has sun, forgotten to rise
Does river, no more know the flow
How long ago, has clock last ticked
What is it, the spirit done to you?
“Oh my frosty lover, why thou not behold me?”
“Souls that transcend
Mute shall they be..
As uknown was never known
Who’s known has never been”
Thank you..!!

Soul searching question about life beyond life, numbness about loss of beloved, difficulty in acceptance of reality – flow of such emotions ? More so when it comes from a young person ?
The flood of emotions and the agony when you are helplessly at a the brink of no return situation, have been subtly treated and beautifully captured.
Lover, leave me a memory
A gaze distilled with all the secrecy
Lover, lean against the wall
I too have a message to cross the veil
Wonderful
