The Demands of Future...

I close my eyes tight shut

To block the thoughts away-

They close in around me insidiously;

The future lies before me

Heaped with happiness and love and gifts,

He stretches his arms,

Welcomes,lures, flatters,pulls;

(But) Beneath his decorative veil

Are drops of silent mockery

And maps of calculated deceit

And a hideous game of hide and seek.

Life gets baffling, choking me

Emotions and passions ooze out unhindered.

The sun rises-

And still the future plays tricks on me.

I Have Sinned

A few lines composed very rashly but emotionally.

Strange ominous shapes cascade through my vision
My life is a fragile vessel, filled to the brim-
Punctured with hideous thoughts and recollections.
The slightest prick has burst the bubble of emotions.
The oozing liquid spells out "CATASTROPHE".
The claws of frustration viciously scar my conscience.
I try to sleep; the searing pain slice my head.
Drops of water feel like paradise in my parched throat.
Memories come to me, about what I committed: A sin.
