White Night

A million laughters are heard in a faraway land

Where love is a religion and happiness resides

Where tale of melancholies are rarely recited

Where peace and tranquillity has found its abode…

 

Sadly I find myself in a bed with leads fixed to my chest

With wires dangling and chaos outside my window

The readings in my ECG dance like million fireflies

flying on a tapestry of my wounded desires and wasted blood.

 

This heart desires to see the snow clad mountains once more

My eyes wishes to blink and shine with the same enthusiasm

My legs want to embrace the same pain I had when i first climbed

This life wishes to be the same again forgetting that its broken forever

 

This hospital smells of burnt desires and forgotten hopes

I only see hopeless crying heads all around me,

My soul wishes to escape into the lonely solitary path yet again

My body feels like a helpless new born unable to run in despair

 

The days are spent in suffering of the fall I incurred on my expedition

In total loss of words and in loving the silence all around me

I am trapped behind the walls of this prison of my own making

Waiting for the night where this soul decides to leave the suffering of the body.

 

Tonight the moon is the same as it was fourteen days ago

Tonight the pain is the same as it was on that full moon night

Standing on that edge of a cliff, the moon brought light to the darkened woods

And again this white night will bring rest and light to this burning darkness.
