Pain in Moments

Day-8 OctPoWriMo-2018
Prompt: Moments of Madness( Blitz Poem)

Time is cruel

Time brings pain

Pain comes unnoticed

Pain is a burden

Burden to carry lifelong

Burden which erodes the soul

Soul gets mauled

Soul feels the sores

Sores of existence

Sores of emptiness

Emptiness followed by doubts

Emptiness carries past dirt

Dirt which was not needed

Dirt heaped by blood

Blood of relation

Blood of desire

Desire of too many things

Desire for happiness

Happiness is a mirage

Happiness in a feeling

Feeling of being lost

Feeling of been alive

Alive to taste life

Alive to feel lust

Lust for that one love

Lust for fulfilling dreams

Dreams of touching the stars

Dreams to dance in the moonlight

Moonlight in the soul

Moonlight in the dark nights

Nights spent in loneliness

Nights wearing shroud of solitude

Solitude in the daytime

Solitude among people

People who are apathetic

People who are your friends

Friends in the wolf skin

Friends in the guise of angels

Angels in the time of need

Angels to wrap in an embrace

Embrace one and all

Embrace pain and feel the beat

Beat of heart

Beat of life

Life lived in harmony

Life in chasing moments

Moments to be alone

Moments lost forever

Forever...

Alone...
