    Lost in depths

    It is a mental state difficult to define, I am dazed, feeling lost, at a loss of words, strange as if finding my way out of dark, deep wilderness, wading through deep murky waters, silences engulfing and feeling of quietus approaching. My dreams too take up on flights of fancy, surreal, nightmarish as if uprooted from reality of life. I am expecting magic to happen and it never does for anyone, why me then? The dreams you begin your life with hardly ever see light of day, yet we keep spinning hopes and giving ourselves succor to live on. Life is like an enchantress, you just can not give up on it, so irresistible it's charms are! People have broken hearts, failed marriages, unrequitted love, unsuccessful careers, low self-esteem but they keep walking on and on, regardless of the exhaustion and sapped energy. The seductress that life is!
     
    But I have nothing lacking, yet sometimes you just feel the tinkling in the soles of your feet and slithering in your heart and body, as if blood has stopped flowing and your head needs a rush of it to survive, and that suffocation completely makes you desperate for a cry, an exhale, and your body needs an exhaustion to drown it in adrenaline shower. I know why I m so irritated, I will be fine when I get over this rush hour phase of things. I have to realize that things take time to happen and I must not get so overly concerned. Let it cool down! I guess I need to drink more water, funnily speaking!

    Tryst with a day

    The morning greets as if it is a new day
    the beginning as an ending
    a renewal as an ablution
    as I inhale the after rain effect
    the wind blows my hair
    the summer subdued
    the moist freshness lingers yet.
     
    The steps walk ahead
    as mind looks miles behind
    the heart forlorn
    in concoction whether life is being lived
    the question looms large yet again
    forever sucking me into a vortex
    Is life being lived the way it was intended to be?
    whether love is sufficient,
    smiles carry the burden of unshed tears,
    each step forward towards the end
    and if reality is a foreplay for fantasy
    imagined, brief and surreal.
     
    Have I walked so many years
    where is the fatigue, sores and the callouses
    the mirror gleans through the insides
    rips apart the fears that flow like channels
    of  blood in the branches of my body
    the fears that I deny myself and to others
    that reside and feast upon my bravado
    the skin still translucent, eyes mirthful and kind
    bare desires still trapped in shrouds of soul
    as the raptured crevices moan for sutures.
     
    The expressions have aged
    and the look vintage
    the holds of life chained loosely
    the noose of desires suffocate
    if once I stopped and let the floodgates open
    the rivers will flood me
    carry me with the torment of deep current
    and the choice to swim ashore or sink face down
    the tremor chills the spine
     
    Another lonely day on the verge of climax
    as the skies turn ashen
    clouds gray but with promise of rain somewhere far
    never here but somewhere else
    as the winds holler among the trees
    the skies incandescent with brief streaks of lightening
    life pulsates in these brief moments
    as the mental shutterbugs capture and rewind flash zoomed
    the fabric I wear and sheath myself with
    heart that shines through my eyes
    spark that still explodes
    through the crisscross of the blue veins
    that render a body life and rejuvenation
     
    The stream of thoughts lays me asunder
    but there is love to revive me back
    as there is that crazy attrition that gives meaning to the sublime
    the mirage be left unchased for now
    the apparitions closed
    as the day ends on a high of thoughts, loneliness, and now company,
    truant battle, joys of making up amid the choking tears held at bay the day long
    and a satin lacquered finish of vodka, arms entwined walk, happy conversation,
    warm embraces, deep stolen kisses under the skies amid the trees
    and touches final insides.
