Sleeping with Open Eyes
Throbbing voices of loved ones breaking
Smokey
flames turning the cities black
As the
mourning hearts are bleeding.
My eyes are
filled with tears
And I
reckon if it doesn’t affect the ones with top gears.
I lay awake
at night because my home's burning too
And my hope’s
dangling too.
With a
shield of mask not only we hide our wounds
But the
fears too.
The people
are terrified and so am I
Scared
circles of broken souls still pass by.
We never
signed up for this battle
Yet we are
facing one.
Whole
systems are collapsing
With tired
shrieks among.
Not seeking
dissent for the horrors of structures upright
Just some
peace for when I stay up at night.

ReplyDeleteLet there be light. Hold that flickering candle up against the wind, or be the mirror that reflects it. Hang in there mate.
Lol. A popular culture fan. More of an Marvel fan than DC (WW84 is perhaps the worst movie ever made. Ever! )
ReplyDeleteSo this blog is a group effort? How does that work!

There's one person who has a little too much to say and the other one is tired of being on the receiving end of it. So the other one created this space and looks after the technical stuff while the smart alec writes.
ReplyDeletelol. Nicely put. The smart Alec and the other one are lucky to have each other. Strikes a balance. Mission accomplished.
DeleteYou brought back my worst memory, the memory i try everytime to lock it up in the deepest and the darkest part in my brain. I still hear the shrieks with pain. I can still feel the warmth of the burning pyre. Worst day of my life. I don't know how to put this in words but Tapsi it's like you wrote what i was feeling and experiencing and also know that i feel you, i feel the every sentence that you wrote.
