wasteful are those tears,
make a sudden appearance
when least expected
and intrepid are those lips,
smiling along with the flow
along
opposite twins
opposite twins
residing in a dark alcove,
guarded by demonic angels
fighting for eternity;
.
the first calls for light
to enter the chamber
and is ready to traverse
along the labyrinth of emotions;
.
the other one ceases the struggle,
unspoken, move towards
the darkest part of the prison
and glare at his other half-
.
better or not,
with those dead eyes;
the former shrugs in response
and go to join the worse division;
.
some time will pass out
and another battle would surge
between the two brothers,
rooted in the same soul.

leaving for her journey
Hello bloggers,
I got a wonderful opportunity to work with the lovely Merbear and you know what, we ended up creating this poem together. Please read and share your views.
leaving for her journey
She was binding her hair in a bun
Readying herself for the journey ahead
Which may take her to distances unknown
Bring in her the sense of being alive
She had never felt ever before
She was leaving behind all her fears
For the adventure that awaited her
.
Her stomach coiled like a snake
Past torments licking at her heels
Dare she run so fast and proud?
Her life not worthy of a fairy tale
She sighs so loudly she startles herself
Trapped emotions needing to meet air
Praying to breathe air
.
The stream of tears fell down her cheeks
Which she didn’t even care to wipe away
She was looking for a happy ending
Which she had to find herself in her own way
She picked up her hand bag of happy memories
And moved ahead towards her cage door
And pushed it open, it wasn’t locked
.
Desperate echoes of her soul
Beckoning to her aching heart
Calling her to where she needs to be
She trembles with trepidation
Limbs weakened by the struggle
Her life never drawn before
By her own personal design
.
She was never meant to be free
Doubts crossing her mind
When she had just seen the sunshine
But she would never return back
And thence, she flies away
Its true leaving is difficult but
Once you have left, it is easy not to turn back
.
Then the breeze whispered her name
A lullaby warm and soothing
Like balm for her battered soul
Bringing her back to herself
Oh, she thought she had been lost!
Smiling inside herself with pure joy
For her true path was known all along
