Resurrection

Resurrection

A Poem by Shashank Sinha

Every morning i open my eyes
A mission stands failed,
Death, which hugged me in my dreams
Has left me now betrayed

I lock the door to later learn
That nobody cares to knock,
coz' i have been locked from outside too
For a lesson to be taught

You can hear me hum a childhood rhyme
Or a whisper for a prayer,
But the silent shouts my heart cries out
Reach no one to my despair

So i close my eyes yet again
And i begin a transition phase,
I call it my parallel world
No wonderful have I known a place

Those of you who yet couldn't guess
These are my memories,
No plethora though, but a handful still
They put me out of my miseries

A faint smile now turned upside down
For this moment i never yearn,
To be expelled from my kingdom of past
Being told i must return

I come back to my dismayed state
And to my wonder what i see,
Demons I drew on the walls last night
Are smiling down on me

My prayers answered, they rose to life
And announced my judgement day,
I lay low quiet on the floor
My soul slowly drifts away

Time flied by, just a spirit now
Who wanders endlessly,
As a prisoner, I once lived
Never got the chance to flee

* * * * * * * *

This day i died, a decade ago
So i travel to my old man's place,
But to no wonder, what i see
It's one of his happiest days

There's a one more place I've got to go
And that's my lonely grave,
But little I expect to see someone
Since none i ever craved

But to my shock I am taken aback
When i see a childhood pal of mine,
No better gift could be bestowed upon me
By the mighty sands of time

A tear rolls, from his wet eyes
A tear rolls from mine,
Foggy memories he's recalling i think
When we played and the days were fine

Well now he's gone and so will I
For he broke my gloomy shackles,
You are not alone and some one cares
Have faith and win this battle.
