The Dryness

Swaddled with meagre feelings

Dryness settles between the creases

Like stubborn tenants

The dwelling feels dehydrated

Robbed of all the precious emotions

Through the cunningness and deals

Broken promises and evil ambitions

From youthful scenes to dreariness

The stinging winds become lethal

Depraved darkness comes along

Masked in a monotonous colour

Barren patio stares at desolate roads

Comparing the promises and reality

As life feels the pendulous effect

Eyes feel the pain of flawed heart

Beauty reflected in crooked mirrors

Lack of light diminishes the hope

Of those delirious atoms to slow down

Adulterated passions altered everything

Such meagre embraces of life

The dry fragments are grave evidence

~Amitav
