Listed

Another name on the list.
One more heart amiss.
Scathingly, to false sorrow you admit,
for parting only brings new tomorrows.
I can fathom not what you think.
Is your mind the master of its will?
Deeply besotted in your ways,
saturation leaves me disheartened.
Somewhere deeply imprinted inside,
a scar that you may’nt identify;
The only proof that you were here.
Memories can be doctored,
all evidences tampered,
but this fail-safe method,
the fit of your words to my own,
Assails any shallow sense of victory.

My hands reek of oil and turpentine,
And colors of life splashed all over my scrubbed face.

Every day break I struggle with the paint and the canvas.
Pour out my passion on a piece of cloth with colours of my emotions.

And when the sun goes down,
I drag my beauties to the bazzar, where I sit like a begger,
And people throw a few chunks of gold in exchange,
Of labour of my love.

I greedily pick up the shining coins,
And seek solace in the shade of the nearest tavern.
And this is what I find.

Alas! I sold my passion,
Just for a cup of wine!

Another day rises,
And I pick up my brush,
Dip it in a mix of my sweat, tears and blood.
And start the dance of life once again.

Not regularly,

Only when in dark deep nights,
It rains, Opens old wounds,
And Fresh pains.

I wake up, as if from a dream,
Face to face with my sorrow,
Fearing impending doom,
I scream,

Not regularly..
