A COMPLETE SUBMISSION TO TRANQUILITY
Have you seen the stars crying in darkness ?
I have,
In the dark depths of the night so many stories get buried,
I stay awake and try listening to the different voices of the night,
A complete submission to tranquility,
My pen reads my soul and I
Fall prey to my heart,
Drowned in emptiness
I stumble upon the blank pages of my diary.
Tint of orange in the dawn sky
Mesmerises me,
Soothes me, consoles me,
Wings of grief carry me far beyond the light,
An interplay of light and shadow grips me in amazing rapture,
Ordinary becomes extraordinary ,
Lying in the cradle of dawn I become greedy,
I decide not to settle for less,
Your eyes, my final destination.
Have you seen the valleys yawning at dusk?
I have,
Day crawls into night and the
Bustling city falls asleep under a gloomy sky,
In this silent hour of night
My blissful dreams arise,
Mysteries unfold in layers of love,
And my pen surrenders,
I stumble upon the blank pages of my diary.
