Last Reflections

The end of the world has come

Without giving us any warning

Thereby not allowing us

To prepare a counter attack

So as to save ourselves!

All I see now around me

Was water,

And drowning people,

When, just seconds before,

I was driving home

From a routine day at work!

My breath will last as long

As the car is not filled up with water

And as long as my lungs can

Resist the pressure!

Somehow,

The games of this world have ended

I did not win anything

But I did not lose anything either

As the life that I led

Was never mine!

Yet,

I had always prayed for a smooth transition

As I greatly feared the power of water

But it would seem

That the Gods have simply closed themselves

In a medium which did not allow them to hear!

My prayers remained unanswered

And now I will surely suffer for

About two to three long minutes

Before I transcend to where

Those powers ruling over me

Would want me to!

And now, nothing mattered anymore,

Nothing, not even the love which was left

Unaccomplished or the words left unsaid!

No regrets hurt my heart

As the freedom from my toils gave me wings

And I breathed myself into a new world!

You And I

You and I,

We share the same heart,

Yet, being stronger than me

You keep breaking mine

To fill yours up!

We share the same heart

And the same soul

And we shall feel complete

Only when tangled into each other,

As if we were the painter and his art,

Or even,

The dancer and her grace!

But then,

You keep insisting on being better

Knowing not that when you kill me

You indirectly kill yourself!

I am the poetess, and you, my audience

I am the inspiration, and you, the muse

I am the doer, and you, the action

Why, I am,

Because you be!

Pray,

Hurt me no more,

I shall judge not your actions

Love me, and together,

We shall fill this sorry world

With enough love

As to have it forget its own toils!

Opposites Yet Synonyms

You are the dawn

And I, the dusk

You are the skies

And I, the earth

You are water

And I, fire

You are the one I love

And I, the one you hate!

Still, each night,

I paint a new star in the skies

Meant to sketch upon them

Our love story

As willed by the Gods themselves

And like a bloomed flower

I sit and wait for you,

Refreshing dew droplets to soothe me!

The hurt in me is hidden

By the eternal smile that I wear

And glamour that flashes at me

As I sit and pose for photographs!

But it shall eat me up like a parasite

If you would heal me not with your love!

I wish you would be the pen,

And I, the poem

Or, the light,

And I, the switch

Why,

You could even be jewel

And I, the Queen wearing it!

We may be different

But opposites attract

Especially when the inner essence

Are synonyms of each other!
