Gargi Sidana
Void, a
phosphorus element/ dew
Drawn under my
skin
Ribs blatantly
summon the place
Amorphous
silence slides through the
Crevices of my
tongue
The brain yells
at the open grave in the mind's enclave
Aghast, the
vacuum tiptoed towards me; shutting
All wires/
signals of the extremity
Void, the
diabolic arms of mangolia space,
Enclosing gate
of in-between
Voices numb the
purple breath of outsiders; to ferment gray shadows of humans.
Lungs extract
grief; a four-chamber heart quintessentially dives into the memories;
Carbon memories
float with monoxide
Gate closed
......
Piquant baked
walls painted heavily with the longing of loved ones.
Void, a decorum
of sorrow/ pain
Plunged beyond
the layers of crust
To find the
fruit of tranquility,
To loop in a
scintillating oval-shaped form,
To fathom the
diversities of the multi universe.
Void, a
bifurcation of flesh, bones and soul
Soul dipped in
the orange light of Brahma
(A source of
sentient existence)
The language of
the almighty is coveted in quietness,
Language of
tangerine thoughts - slices of emotions.
