Oasis...


All that was needed
Was a bit of sand...

Even as I looked
It twisted, and grew
Feeding into the crevices
Of my only refuge
My sanity…

My soul latched onto it
Eating at its feet;
As the mansion grew
Surrounded by the most wonderful things
And you

I plunged into it
wholly,
But only tasted
Nothing…

Slowly realizing
That my creation
 did not exist.

That world
I had to break
Bit by bit

Sucking out
Each painful drop
Of you
From my mind

I killed
Every semblance
Of my paradise
Only to stay alive.

That was then.
I wouldn’t dare
To build again.

The Unloved...





















Broken fragments
Behind brittle walls
Feigning strength
Amidst mild gusts of wind…

Cramped sea shells
Hollowed by life within
Lying around
Waiting for the mercy
of being crushed
By absent minded limbs…

Sometimes
The wronged
Are much too easily
The wrong

Nature
Hardly remembers
These scattered remains
These scarred links
 In our universe
Perish slowly
Painlessly

We are all too busy
 Ignoring the unloved….
