Life Goes By

 The Sunday Muse 


                                                            prompt image by Shay,


With stories of the happy princes and princesses

A childhood stagnated  on a canvas of seamless fairy tales

There were moments when holding tightly to a little friend 

Those tales belonged to another world.


Deep rooted fears erupted within those four walls

Waiting and trying to make some sense of the chaos

The loud noises, and the screaming voices

Shook the vulnerable heart, clutching on unshed tears.


There were days when inanimate expressions

Erased the lines of aching fear and broken dreams

How wonderful it was to have and hold

Someone who would listen, sooth and heal without uttering a word!


If one could have that same sense of security

In the waning evenings of a lifeless reality!

Being Alive

 



Free

I feel

Deep inside

As my being

Awakens with wants

Cruising in molten flames

All the scars are victories

Stamped, marked and flagged umpteen times

Let me breathe in the taste of freedom.

Millennium

 The Sunday Muse

archaic wisdom 

groans under the debris of

the concrete jungle.      


twisted steel and glass

burns the skin of sweat and tears

capitalists rule.



the silent mother

chained and choked with smog and greed

birthed heartless hoarders.

Storm

 The Sunday Muse


                                                  


moving and moaning

desires dressed in solitude

breathe in silent storms.
