LONGING

Breaking the clutches of this invisible chain

That has kept me stuck in vain

I want to come and seek your solace

Hug you and seek the warmth of your embrace


One day and counting

Is how I calculate days 

Each time you come and leave me hanging

Saying goodbyes is a herculean task

Done while shoving the ardent tears in a flask


The flask which never gets empty

Readily refills when given the opportunity

To seek your well being is my proclivity

Any displeasure caused to you unleashes my callosity


And when there are no tears left

All i'm left is the longing to come to you at the earliest

The chain comes and clasps my insides

And once again i'm left to keep counting the days till this curse subsides.

Reverie

 'It is all fine' at the tip of her tongue when all she feels inside is numb, to pour so much, that she's left empty if only, someone filled her as deftly, It aches too much to confess this pain for somebody to address, To be the dragonslayer, saving them all the one with the sword too needs healing after all, Put up a smile, light their world's so bright when her has crumbled with all its might, She wishes somebody like her in her life Who listens intently, probes out her strife, Being the one initiating to make amends question of her importance significantly ascends, Yet again, she wishes to run and make things right But, if only they too tried?

THE WHISPERER

"One person to another, my eyes drag Watching them intently,  Am almost a hawk Should do so mildly  Won't let them know, I'm here to gawk  To address the one duly Who's been holding me back  Fuelling my insecurities I'd find him today ask him to stop Catapulting my miseries  Give me peace, let me grow atop How do I find him, the one so vile Who wasted my years Won't stop whispering in my ears I'll revisit again with more enthusiasm Ask him to sit, let's discuss our chasm I lay on the couch eyes adrift The whispers restart, he runs away swift The door is locked, windows shut No one came inside, who whispered but?"

NASTASYA FILIPINOVA

  "Sometime in the afternoon, I started to read Pages through pages, my eyes tread She lived a life, everyone would dread Never bent her spine, I commend Holding my breath, I wanted her pain to end Watching her struggle Her hope getting crumpled, People misusing her, left-right, and center I saw self-loathing become her epicenter,  Half past the book, I saw no respite To the constant strife She's faced in her life Still holding the hope intact I waited for things to rightly act,  Closed the book to start reading afresh Wasn't ready for what happened next Her pain ended when she took the final breath She's still dead, I rechecked time hundredth I sat there in awe, what have I witnessed Sometime later, the sun came up And reality set in Had she not died, I wouldn't be sitting to write For ending her struggles and strife That life has more to offer, than a butcher's knife However, some souls do need to die For authors to make characters immortalize"
