aashim's latest/last

Emotions wasted

patience tested.

I fall from my



cliff.




Privacy explodes.

leaving its debris

strewn across my

mind's plea.


I crouch and evade

the quips

and attempt to salvage

these ruins of a charade.


I dream

I still dream.



But even dreams

Cry with nightmares.


These fiendish nightmares

a poisoning stain .

I ponder with fate,

remembrance detained.


My hand quivers

with enlightenment.

Dawn surprises me

the moon a sliver.


Stars light unlit eyes

to see

before them

clouds in guise.


The eyes circle in fast

spiralling fast

falling

on conclusions last?


I breathe

I breathe in the sweetness

of moonshine

forgiving

and yet I feel


obliged to decline.


a moment more in this charade

and I shall lose

the intent

of my serenade.
