Darkness

This darkness over me, is taking control.

It has me in its icy clutch.

It demands I pay the toll;

But inside, I don’t have much.

 

It holds my predertermined destiny

in its cruel black hands.

It has stolen my fate;

And I’m left without a chance.

 

And though I  scream and yell -

It is all in vain.

‘Cause there’s no one I can tell,

or who will hear my eternal pain.

    DEPTHS

    Posted on June 22, 2010 by Vimal
    The water’s edge
    Where your feet get wet
    And sand sticks between
    Your toes

    The sea gulls fed
    The fishermen said
    A storm was coming
    They suppose

    The sky grew dark
    And rain it swept
    Loose silt for
    Distant shores

    When the sun rose red
    Soared way overhead
    And the darkness
    Hid in the shadows

    ***********************

    IN-NO-SENSE

    May this be solemn

    So you feel touched

    By that unknown

    Defined God

    Hope you linger

    When silence beckons

    Music falls

    Strangers kiss

    Tarry another moment

    Drink fully

    Singed tresses

    Miraged bedspreads

    Toughened by pain

    Folding skin

    Cracked soles

    Parched tongue

    May age converge

    Cities flatten

    Trees rot and die

    If it’s willed

    Look away in pity

    Eyes hiding concern

    Fingers trembling

    Blinds drawn

    May darkness ensue

    Traps laid

    Mistaken identities

    Pretentious peace
