Still simmering underneath, a craving.
Hear me out, I plead.
Reminiscing of times bygone.
Everlasting memories soak my head.
You think it is over.
An eternity I leave.
Still simmering underneath, a craving.
Hear me out, I plead.
Reminiscing of times bygone.
Everlasting memories soak my head.
You think it is over.
An eternity I leave.
A room, a blend of brightest possible reds and yellows.
A bed, in centre, soft and fluffy, cushions all over.
A wall, full of classics, posters.
Another, for graffiti, insane, untamed.
A few racks, hell lot of music and movies and books.
A corner, a bean bag, lamp on top.

A house, I always dream of.
A home, only you can turn it into.
We don't need no stinking bedroom,
We don't need no Potter soul.
No potti shotti in the bathroom,
Mogli, leave us kids alone
(Hey MOGLII!! Leave us kids alone)
All in all you're just another poop on the wall;
All in all you're just another poop on the wall.
Slamming intense feeling
My heart pounds through a wall of
Broken glass.
Shattered words stutter out
Unheard, unheard, unheard.
Unheard
By the only one I know with ears.
Brick by brick
My paved road falls out
From under my feet
Leaving me suspended
I hear echoes of your name
Spoken by different voices
Penetrating through the dark
Through my mind
A million mazes lead me through
Scene after scene
Of blurred faces and muffled tones.
My skin feels your touch-
And his, and hers and theirs.
And ours
I am led through a burning flame
of smokeless fire.
I close my eyes and open up my heart
To you.
I am just ashes of a forgotten existence
Burned away
A lingering feeling of warmth…
Smoke?
Nah!! I have decided to quit.
Huh?
Yes, I have.
*takes a long drag* Why are you doing this?
Uh, I never liked it anyway.
You know what I am talking about.
I do?
Will you stop acting smart, Reg?
I will.
Huh? Oh c’mon…Stop.
I said I will.
*gets off the bed and walks off, slamming the door behind him*
Not really.
Then what brings you here?
I am not sure.
You just like torturing yourself.
It does give me a weird sort of a high.
Err? You must be fucking crazy.
I am feeling kind of dizzy.
Reg… *places his hand on his shoulder*
I Think I should lie down… Ah! Feels nice. They must have had fun.
Huh?
It is such a….
Oh! Don’t start that shit again.
*flips around, lying on his chest* I can smell it.
You are disgusting.
I walked in on them that day.
I know. She told me.
Can you fetch me a beer?
No. I don’t wanna be a part of your sickening world.
I just asked for a beer.
I can see where things are heading.
And again. You can?
You gotta get over it, dude. It’s high time you did.
Really?
Whatever… go fuck yourself up. I don’t give a damn anymore.
*gets up from the bed, grabs a can of beer from the fridge and rushes off to the terrace*
He was too short for the wall, too weak to climb over it.
rigorous blows with a sharpened hammer, craving for a hint of a peep.
perseverance did fill up for the inherent inability.
....
ignorance was suffocating, knowledge even more.
Back then, being schooled,
I enthusiastically hogged on letters,
Rolled them into words with my tongue,
Swallowed them so as to form sentences while tripping down my throat,
Till they finally settled down and got digested in my stomach.
This, to me they said was growing up.
Now that they say is done,
Am braving indigestion, burping out sentences,
Trying to bite them into words again, chew them back in.
So much for trying, I am only puking out letters, not just the ones I had,
Throwing out much more than what I thought I ever could all these years.
This, to them I say is growing up.

The wall is sucking on my head,
the worms feeding on my eyes,
my ears are flapping with desperation,
my tongue licking on disguise…
my nose is a mere witness…
to the most heinous of crimes…
Red, blood!!?! Flows across my eyes…
Significant, is it!!?! Maybe…
Imperative for my existence….
Red, blood!!?! Dripping from my nose,
No puddle; isn’t there!!?! Maybe not…
An infestation of my mind…
My veins, green…
Deceased, my body?
Drained, my mind?
Do I haunt your dreams?
Hear me laugh and sing?
Does it fade away, into
a memory and a whisper?
Look, and you may see
an amorphous shadow of me.
blurring into the darkness
that you have chosen to be.
Think and you may recall
a memory and a whisper.
Listen and you may hear
a pledge
to wipe away each of your tear,
your baseless fear.
Make this love real.
Open up your heart,
I know you are skeptical
About a brand new start.
Tell me what you feel
sketch a bit of your life chart.
For tonight I know,
under the moonlit glow,
everything to me, is plainly
a memory and a whisper.
of you and me.
Listen and you will hear,
Think and recall the memory.
Do i haunt your dreams?
Do i haunt your life?
With a memory and a whisper...
