My love has left the nest.

No cracklings of the untidy plates,
no whispers of the water from anywhere,
can't see any new scratches on the wooden floor,
can't hear them fighting for a chocolate anymore.

Partly burnt wood lies near the hearth,
cold is my soul and colder is the house.

The stellar castle of dreams big white home,
is now just an unread address lost in the mail,
the chirps of my chicks play a game of hide and seek,
My love has left the nest with the food still in her beak.

The pain is undeniable and the peace is haunting,
never knew how long a day could be,
when no one waits for you,
never knew how quiet it could be,
when no one is to be silenced.
This poem is one of my favorite pieces that i have written.
it talks about the loneliness of a Man whose wife and children have left him. sometimes the silence can be immense in this world of cacophony. i hope you enjoyed reading this.

Silence and Shower

Image
There are some sleepless nights in all our lives. The quietness of the night doesn't let you sleep. You keep turning in you bed till you get tired. With the following poem I have written about one such night, sleepless and peaceful. Its dead quiet outside, Only the whispers of the chilling wind, The streets filled with light yet so empty, Eyes wet, reliving all the regrets. I take the last drag of my burnt friend, As I walk away from the view, Back to my bed, Alone and cold, full of desires. I take a detour and visit the bathroom instead, A cold shower and I am all dressed, The drops run on my body, And on all the scars of my soul, Lessening the pain. The bed calls me but its still cold, This night is so peaceful but still long, My desires are dead but still breathing, Eyes are closed full of pain, I wrap myself in the warmth of yesterdays, And sleep.
