Pursuit of Sanity

Visual delight from mind numbing thoughts,

Deafening cries searching identity slots,

Anguish for consternation that’s yet to come,

Pinnacle of triumph for voices that hum,

Treason is glorious, revel in the anarchy,

Escape reality, take refuge in the frenzy,

Imagine the carnage while mind wins over,

Gloating in prejudice at the sacrificial altar,

An inherent desire to retreat in the milieu,

Pursuing sanity for a reason to bid adieu,

Trying in earnest to harness the rhymes,

Yearning to hear the lost morning chimes …

Shadows of the Midnight Sun

Shadows dancing intermittently in the dark of the night,

Longing to join their hedonistic ritual in a drowsy flight,

Forgotten memories inscribed with deep chisel marks,

A penchant to erase the oblivious visceral landmarks,

Dance of death calling for the bleary and fragile soul,

Insignificant creations buried under the gravestone,

Crying for salvation from the pedestrian existence,

Being prisoner of our thoughts creates the pretense,

Specter of the midnight sun raises false hopes,

A mirage of continuity while conscience elopes,

Deafening cries of mortals trapped inside their own,

Enduring their futile search for the elusive keystone …
