Desolation

Heart, Blank and white
The effect of a dark night.

Barren like an ancient desert
Dead even to a stream of water.

A desertion along with impertinence
Deserved it, may be, the curse of desolation.

The Dead Petal

On the dark street of a dark heart
Was laying a petal dropped of a bud
Pressed, crushed under some foot
for the darkness of dark street of dark heart.

A drop from a petal spread over the street,
leaving tint on the stones of it.
To remind them
a petal that once existed,
and that it was dropped,
and got crushed.
(accidentally, inadvertently though.)

On the streets of dark heart

In the depths of dark streets of my heart
once I took a walk
Touched the bare walls,
Which, to my illusions,
With colors were blooming.

In the depths of dark streets of dark heart
once I took a walk
and saw the silent corners,
which, to my misapprehensions,
with voices/sounds were filled.

on the dark streets of dark heart
then I went ahead
wading my way
through the sad gray colored air,
which to my ironic delusions
was pink, blooming with red.

On the dark streets of dark heart
As I walked listening crushing sound of
dry leaves and branches,
feeling them broken under my bare feet,
leaves and branches
fallen after an unnoticed storm.

In the center of dark heart
I sat at the square trying to overcome
my shock and a newly gained grief,
And to recollect myself to go out,
to find some place of relief.

I looked up for a direction
Another distress,
All the corridors looked same
wearing identical gloominess
competing darkness.
The uniqueness I obliged them with once
it seemed had worn out, no signs(were)left.

(part 2 )

I shouted in the well
Where I heard a thump, where my heart dwells
“why look the way, I never wanted you to be
Its all ruined, get up and see?”

I heard a sound poignant and deep
It was my heart, woke up from sleep

“dear It was always like this,
That festival has long passed
The festival I never owned
those shades not my character, how would I possess

it was your hallucination
the people and sounds
your wishes and imaginations
you were always empty and alone
and I was doomed as desolated as I am!”
