Epitaph

Do you feel the searing pain,my friend?
When the fire ripped through your body
Effacing what semblance of peace you could enjoy
In the inner recesses of your mind.

Comfort zone no more-
For now you are stripped to the gore
I understand how the chagrin in you will burn
As indignation takes hold.

Once,you occupied a place in the hearts of many
Once,you were an indispensable friend.
But the domineering and overbearing triumphed
Nulling your infinite influence.

Indeed,it is overwhelming and ever-agonising
To know you only in our distant memories
To have you guarding the ones you love
Without a chance for us to express gratitude.

We know very well you did not want to leave
Without saying goodbye;we do.
Just that the god-forsaken menaces of the ruler
Took rein,and took you away.

Let us vow to take them down.

Voyage

Do not recall when I was sent aboard
This damned vessel
Sailing towards an inescapable destiny
Marked doom.

For when I acquire cognizance
Realization dawned on me
I was thrust onto this voyage
Against my will and wishes.

Why do I say so?
Simple and direct:
Security,reason,logic and happiness
Were all robbed of me.

Destitution is the state
I am reduced to be.
Cowering in fear and stripped of sanity,
The perpetrators tantalise me

With my freedom they devoured.

Grouse & Foul

I am severely wounded.
Sustaining a serious dent in self.
No idea how and when I can recover
From the horrors and terrors of the past.

No matter how hard I try,
I cannot but shake the nightmares off.
They kept on coming-
Haunting,taunting and mounting.

Was it a matter of fate
That I suffer as such?
Or am I condemned for my mistakes;
Those that I cannot remember having committed?

Admittance of wrong I did,
So was denial.
Either way,I know deep in my heart
Forever I will be hit hard.
