Uprooted love

never needed a reason
to find a smile
perhaps the last one
to slither into
the folds of this skin
to seep into
eternal slumber...
silent feelings of
getting charred
thoughts turning autistic
wonder how could a glitter
still keep me calm
amidst this way
of getting burnt alive
slowly but unceasingly..
perhaps that glitter
was let free from her pupils
to let this moth
die a death of fantasy
trying to embrace
the very thorns
that pierced through its breath
what i leave behind
is not a bed of roses
but traces of sand
over emaciated memories
that will remind you of
the same last smile...

hazy eyelashes
that ruined someone..
stumbling again n again
before i run
away from myself..
letting her hair
steal through these fingers
would be a thirst
never quenched
hard to realise
if i am drenched
in the moisture
left behind by her lips..
cant wait
to be asked for
the last desire...
wearing this attire
of pretention
of hiding uncanny truths....
before feeling the softness
of her palms one last time
let me tell
just one more lie..
that knocks this heart
but leaves this voice drowned....
mere longings
with their own wrong ways
to count their days
in forgotten chapters...
i wonder if
u ever knew
that my eyes never lied.................

distant faces
estranged emotions
memories sailing into oblivion......
am shattered to pieces
but never healing wounds
still want me to live for someone.....
this was how i felt
an urge to live up to
my loved ones who have dwelt
like dew drops on these blades...
however i stay
radiant, or in ashes..
ur love will keep glittering my way
and whenever these moist eyelashes
droop down on my tired eyelids
ur smile just peeps inside.........
