Don't define your world in Black and White, because there is so much hiding amongst the Greys...


The clear mist surrounds me

It swirls in odd shapes

making unearthly figures

The cold damp air

hits me hard at my face

As I stand there and shudder

There in the air

Hangs the familiar rotten smell

of what I wonder…

Perhaps of the decaying flesh

of those helpless mortals

slain by the sins I have done

The eerie silence echoing with ghostly frenzy

mocks me

And there laugh those evil spirits

partying over their graves, having fun.

 

A movement in the bushes around me

catches my eye

A small dark creature

with sinister intentions ‘neath its skin

Hiding behind the dark

waiting for the perfect moment to jump in

To leap upon and rip me into pieces

To rid me of the mistakes I built

And to let my soul free

to fly away without

the burden of guilt.

 

The moonless night sky turned black with ashes

as I walked further

And all of a sudden a deadly tranquility took over

Not even a hum, not even a stutter.

I looked around

There was nothing but nothingness

Brimming with an eerie silence

crying out its helplessness

The void, I then realized

is where it all originated from

the hatred, the evil, the anger, the dark,

the disgust, the contempt, and rest all which was stark

 

The void, I then realized

was nothing but the hollowness inside of me

the emptiness that had always surrounded me

 

I didn’t stay and continued to walk further

Oblivious to the cries, oblivious to the screams

Oblivious to the voices inside my head

and the turmoil which ruined my dreams.

All of it will exist forever

nothing can bring it to cease

Nothing but the sunlight in my world

which long ago abandoned me…

Dipti, you really are the best writer I've come across. I just can't express my emotions in words after reading this beyond perfection piece of your work. Dude, pursue your career in this field, I surely know that one day you'll find me in those long lines of people waiting for hours to just get an autograph of you on their copy of your book. My best wishes are with you. You're amazing. :D
