Eye-makeup

After so many hassles with sleepless nights
I finally made my mind to sleep last night.

Sleep was not going to come to me,
So I begged infront of sleep to rescue me!

You won't believe I even tried...
...all magic tricks to mesmerize sleep.

My dogfights with these dark nights,
Are nothing but add-ons to my fright!

My attempt went in vain,
Eyes are thirsty and insane,
Failure struck me again...

Perhaps, all are not even blessed
to have a single second to rest!

And here comes morning where I get up
when I've to plot same old eye makeup...!

Destruction

I've bathed in the river of 'separation',
Survived each moment in isolation.
Convinced myself with every explanation.
Sadly love was a synonym of word 'limitation'...

Thirsty were my desires for dedication.
He was the only 'one' for reciprocation.
But eventually he was also an illusion,
And here begins the story of soul's destruction...

I kept on sinning

A drug that silently
killed me from within
and eventually made me thin
was nothing but
a huge stack of 'fake expectations'
that every now and then
I was shown in every relation.

Hats off to people who
had this talent from very beginning.
They made a fool of me
at the end of every inning.
You won't believe
my soul is still running
in search of 'him'
for whom I kept on sinning...
