In darkness I see

In darkness I see..

'Cause my eyes are closed

from seeing the virtual.

Lights blinden me,

clouding my thoughts with things figmental.

It shows me people, it shows me structures,

It show me trees, it shows me birds.

But yet I know not who they are.

The structures I use, knowing not why..

Where trees become mere structure,

the common thread of life going oblivion.

And birds are like passing clouds ,

meant to fly and just fly.

For our rooms are dark and streets are lighted.

We see what is shown and are blind to what we are.

When the outside is dark, I try seeing with the feeble light inside.

And its scary in there so I stick to the 'window',

to see the known and escape the uncharted.

I search for its source.

Its there everywhere yet perplexing to find.

Where is it from?

Am I the musk deer,

looking for the light when it comes from within..

Or am I the weary traveler

who has yet to travel,

a long long way before he reaches the source.

But I am restless as I have no place to rest.

For I feel safe in light outside even if I have to run..

Thus search is what I must do, to get my elusive rest...

Life is a bitch

And you thought it was over..

And you thought you knew what you wanted..

And you thought you got what you ever dreamt of..

We play the game whose rules we know not

Whose end we are unsure of..

And you thought you could call it quits!

The only weapon is the “thinking” mind of ours

Which won’t even let you quit

For there exists no path of exit

And you thought you had reins on your mind

Mere pawns is what we are

Soldiers of a bigger game

The worst torture is the ignorance of ignorance

In darkness we live

The quest of mind and the quench of heart we never satisfy

The thirst so old and deep

That we know not the taste of water

And you thought you are full

We run after the firefly

Mistaking it as the trail of light which leads to freedom

Where enemies dwell with us, within us

And friends are difficult to reach and hard to find

In illusion we stay and falsity we thrive

We think there are others when it has always been one vs. many

After all, the puny soldier has to face great challenges before it transforms

The powerless that he is..

For a step taken forward cannot be retraced back

And the forces to be faced head-on

And you thought you knew it all

When the only rule we know is

The weak shall be punished

So our tears flow dry and our smiles are shallow

We thus wait for answers

The wait been so long that it seems an eternity

And wait we shall do for even that aint a choice.
