LONG DRIVE

I  loved the way fast wind waves slapped my face.
My free hair strands were twisting into nasty un-solvable tangles.
I allowed the buttons of my shirt to loosen.
My hands were loosing its mighty grip.
My eyes demanded a slow closure.
My lips locked a curl.

The drive on stretched roads,

cutting apart the dark green on both sides;

was getting wilder;

was getting crazier;

could snatch away my life;

but I wished it existed for an eternity.

 





My soul was shedding its worries.

Its tired of the enumerable responsibilities;

of the never ending questions;

of the betrayed love;

of the lies it told;

of the fear for death.

 

 

 

It wanted to scream loud and be shameless.

It wanted an unrestricted boundary.

It wanted itself not imprisoned.

It wanted peace.

It wanted to laugh like a child.

It wanted to live another sunshine unended.

 

Dried the waves my leaking eye.

Eased the saviours my wrinkled forehead.

Strengthened me lord with unseen weapons.

Confidence of never loosing this battle before he engulfs me in death.

Promised me he to be with me always.

And showered me blessings wrapped.





 

As the breeze grew cooler and milder;

I woke from that timid sleep in between my drive.

Amidst the heavenly beauty I drove.

Scratched apart the mountain flew the fast eagles ugly.

Following them underneath was the slow splashing river.

Above them a burning sun captured an indigo canvas.

 

 

 

The cruel world cries aloud for priority.

The malignant desire to win is cruelest of all.
The faulty perception of success has ruined me.
It has deserted me of all my happiness.
I was searching my smile with every breathe that merged into air.
The growing storm was throwing me off my seat.

I drove.

I kept driving.

Till the indigo turned violet.

It was dark;

but not darker than my life.

The chilling unseen wreathe pained my eyes;

but  less than when I cry lonely.

The wind did not leave me a second alone.

I owe my dead emotions to it.

Had not I been to this long drive.

Would not have I cherished my misery.

I have learned to be happy competited.

To these lifeless entities, I owe a lot since tonight.
