They said God screamed at us
For what other reason
Are we alone? Cold upon groves
Of the all Saints, so ignorant
The grooves of the statues
support vanity instead of passion;
cold hearted, my blood iced
the rain blanketing
what was once nice;
long ago Father said
“Don’t cry, keep the smile;
For what’s life without
Laughter”;
Why so serious?
Etched smile
Permanent; father would be proud…
Crazy or just wearing a mask
I waltzed down lanes, showered
by torrential rain; aghast
I couldn't breathe
as every breath meant
I was drowning above ground;
my knees were weak
But I walked on
forever...in an undless journey
of self realisation.
Heavens can't accept me;
Their stairway clouded by pollution;
So I sit close to old graves
Of old friends & in old ways
I leave flowers; dead just like them;
I walk solo…no shadow
No sun, maybe I’m just soulless
Alone…neither peers nor equals
So I walk 1 step at a time…
