THE MORN..

on the spiky bed of dreams i slept

and woke up with a bleeding heart

the sheet was drenched in colors of whims

so was pillow jaded of burdens

of many a sleepless nights…

the bird when tweeted outside my window

i drew the curtain back

in the iris of its eyes was dancing a rainbow wild

it had plucked an iris flower and gave  the brightest smile

the morn had stretched its gold and the sun was frowning pale

the roads had laid their arms open and trees with lazy shades

stood tall and sloppy and blase’

day upon day and night upon night is a moment and no more

which stands stagnant  in eternal awe which rest in eternal pain

i closed the window pane and moved away from idol moment

my slippers torn and wings crumbled and my crazy ventures

all smiled at me with disdain

all smiled to my oblivion..

and wrecked my composure vain

    You have great talent of painting pictures with words. I guess it’s impresionism :)

  4. I would have turned over and went back to sleep. ;)
    Nice poem as always.

  5. M, I cannot believe how our poetry resonates — reading this poem I felt the serrated pangs that are so deeply circumferenced between the heart and the pillow that is a silent plea, a silent catharsis, a silent death yet waking up to live….or, at times to exist. There is a plethora of thoughts, emotions and soft pangs that has woven on your blog. Truly, I feel that I have known you in some space and in the corridor of time. Yes, we shall be in touch. I welcome you to stop by. ‘The Morn’ is felt in my marrow.
    Keep penning, meri dost. Khush rahain (whatever that means). Cheers, S
