Derelict life, wild weeds,
anonymous
Shrubs, nevertheless cactus does
not
Forget to bloom, roofless,
demolished
Walls, dream existed still in
polygonal
Way, I have no regrets, no complains!
I have learned to survive without
you –
However, it was nightmarish
incident
Sleepless nights, dejected breath,
I
Feel you in delusion, sometimes
-
Chased on the memoirs narrow
lanes,
Found you are not so far away from
My life, I tried and tried to
overlook
Your domination in soul, heart,
body but
Alas! Could not succeed to break
out
Walking on the burning path of
seared
Land, I would not ignored the grin of
Tender flowers, looking the
surrounds
My life initiated a new expedition
Toward the life, my pain had the
minor
Intensity than others, here I had
to
Replaced all the warm kisses, hugs
Beautiful concealed bed-sharing
nights
Liberated you from my persona,
gradually
Wiped out the vapors of breathing
Condensed on the chest, lip marks
on
Top of backbones, saliva of
memories
Slowly disappeared down the ribs,
your
Body odor at last left from the
skins, hairs
Tonight I am going to put down all
the
Weaknesses, I am sorry, wound has been
Filled by times, o moonlight do not peep
in
Life, I am going to sleep with
someone, tonight!
