A Sleepless Night…


A dark night,

An endless time.

My mouth escapes,

An unholy rhyme.


You are away,

With someone else.

The ceaseless torment,

Of countless hells.


A single thought,

A million turns.

My heart to ashes,

The midnight oil burns.


The ghastly image,

Of you by his side.

The unbearable nausea

My worlds collide .


A single blink ,

A million flashes.

My flesh on fire,

The whipping lashes.


His greedy touch,

On your skin.

My rage rises,

Patience is thin.


A bright sun-ray,

The darkness grows.

My mind’s racing,

The time slows.


One last thought,

A farewell kiss.

A lonely end,

With something amiss.


A single cut,

A thousand drops.

My love lives on,

The breathing stops.

A million turns.

just one word………awesome!

beautiful flow of emotions… and wat i liked most is the control that u have maintained through out the poem, inspite of the variations in d emotions, from pain and anguish in the beginning, to rage and anger in the middle and then coming back to agony and pain.

loved it….. 5 stars 4 u….. :)

Comment on this comment

hey simply awesome!how beautiful is pain that gives birth to such touching poems.every line laden with tremendous amount of screaming and yelling,disgust and disillusionment yet so much of beauty lies in the expression.
congratulations!!!
