Buoyant dreams
of unfettered life
crooned melodies of freedom
day ‘n night
on silver hope, soared high.
Plummeted to dark abysm
when wings clipped
of dreams tethered,
lilts of ipseity stifled
faded away chirps,
breathed last
succumbed silently
the other day, life
Passed many phases of the moon,
Earth changed numerous garbs
but remained persistent
the pain
lurked behind skin-deep smiles,
No anodyne
No salve soothed aching
Core cadaverous
a sepulchre holding mortals-
Debris of hope
waves crash recurrently
inundate
then retreat silent feet
leaving behind traces
of wistful brine glistening eyes
