Empty

She was born in the wombs of oblivion
Where fecund darkness had illuminated her empyrean shores
and gears
Though extremely stretched, she recoiled back with an ardent
fervor
Being at the centre of wheel, yet she was still and motionless

Her silences shouted some unsaid words
Her silent screams were too exhausted n palpable
Her mind clear n thoughtless
Time craddled in stop machines, a lull
Her heartbeats had lowered down as well
Only reverberations
A mere tick tock as hell.

Empty....
Empty she had felt light after years
The lone moon had blessed her tears
And she fell in love with herself and her aloneness and her
fears

In the Background

In the background...
Trees whistled n bees buzzed to crankiness
Birds chirped and the blooms blossomed in their Godliness

But between them...
The silence spread like a willingness, crooning into
nothingness
Their eyes locked with unceremonious desires, longings unspelt
Like the golden hues of afternoon flowing into evenings
redness

Drenched, love had stuttered in their corridors, as thick as
numbness
And rains had played havoc with their emotional crotchetiness

Loving hearts just came close in their coziness
Yes, love had overtaken them into surrenderness
