My Instincts

 

As the realisation dawns

that it’s beyond the ken of my instincts

the explicit, inexorable tendencies

it grips my feelings that were once free

 

Waiting to break-free and let loose

from the shackles that can’t amuse

the sun rises, the moon shines, the birds chirp

for the ones free, but unfortunately not me

 

In the day’night’, I relocate my consciousness

that makes me dizzy, topsy-turvy

in everlasting night, I might look bright

seeing myself in mirror, I say it’s sunlight

 

They serve me with food, water but no air

although it now seems, that I hardly care

as who will care if I’m choked and dead

or die eating this stale food and contaminated water

 

One thing that I consider is my last wish

to take care of her for all her life

it’s not because of her that I’m here

it’s for her that I hold on to my instincts

I Have Actually Lost You

 

When I look through the open window

I see every colour but not green

the wind smacks my face hard

to make me realise that there’s a soul in my heart

when birds – red, brown, yellow, white - chirp

in my head, an outcry bursts

the rainbow in the sky shows me the colours in life

life - what a lifeless life

nothing seems to entertain my jaundiced eyes

when I know that I’ve actually lost you

 

When I look through the door

people are busy with their ‘lifeless’ life

mingling with each other with a façade

it’s an indication of a war- a hunt for one’s life

the world seems devastatin’ than ever

it’s soon going to end without a shiver

we’d decided that when ends meet

we shall ‘apparently’ be together

I’m where I was an year ago: Waiting

when I know that I’ve actually lost you

 

When I walk past the doorway

‘They’ welcome me to their clan

the panoramic view takes me no further

than to feel to diffuse into the sky

what the difference then would it be be

between ‘they’ and unfortunately, me

was it this difference that annoyed you?

or was it you who wanted to just move on?

what I take from you are those memories

because I know that I’ve actually lost you
