We can harm stones too Stony paths traversed Carrying the feelings like a misshapen rock Jagged edges bleeding the soul We could have been cured The prevailing melancholia transforming into poison Heartless now, in the midst of a desert Fine granules of time hurt the eyes Parched souls favor the deepening loveless life Hurtling themselves towards a chasm Working out the Karma The pestilence of … Continue reading Harm Less
Caught between the true reflections and illusions There is a danger in adjusting the perceptions According to the crafty mirrors creating apparitions Life settles between the wrinkles- reminiscing quietly Toiling away during unearthly hours; till the last breath Tricks the clocks to move toward an unsure reality Of all the abysses, the one of fearful nothingness is perilous Unaware of what life will be beyond … Continue reading Entangled
