Relegated Dreams.....
Beneath this pale, placid skin,
My soul embarks on journeys,
Infinitely mysterious, thrilling and bizarre!
On one such journey I stumble upon,
A locked door, partially hidden, forgotten,
Inquisitive my soul; I enter,
A chamber; dark, ominous,
Stumbling along the path unseen,
Hands outstretched, groping, acting as my vision,
A blinding light dazzles my eyes,
I spy a dream, descend slowly,
From the unseen heights, unachieved, distraught,
Dead!
Crawling into a crevice, It lies,
Still, immobile; I realize,
I stand in the catacombs, the tomb of my dreams,
Where every hope, every wish, every desire,
I ever felt was banished, executed, life never giving them,
A chance to be born, to become real,
To exist!
By the fading glow, I step ahead,
I see, my life laid out,
In front of me, my fantasies,
Lying listless, Sepia tinged,
Cold, from their death!
Living it all over again, the pain, the hurt,
I turn away, nauseated, unable to take it anymore,
Running back I find, no exit, no door,
A one way trip this was,
Relentless, I try to find a way out,
Coz am suffocating, the morbid stench,
Of slowly decomposing desires, overwhelming me,
Grim silver spectres surround me,
Shrill echoes, reverberate,
A requiem they sing for my soul,
Trapped here for infinity,
In this sarcophagus, of unfulfilled hopes,
These catacombs of relegated dreams!
