in the darkness

Sleeping under the cold coverlet of my imagination;

I can only see what my brain allows,

But it is not good what i see.

I see liquor, smoke and people wearing mask;

I feel an encroaching shadow full of motion,yet lifeless.

I see a soul in search of body;

But to no avail !!!

I sense a sudden shake, a tough push or I should call it a tremor.

The sky is but full of darkness;

Moon has gone into a dark blanket

And the stars are like flies eaten up by birds.

I see two beautiful eyes full of desire;

Desire for life, soul and the forbidden liquid;

To me it was a soul in search of blood;

Blood to avenge its quench;

But I was not the only victim

Someone else………..

Or maybe many other;

But I am selfish

Who cares for others?

I want my life safe;

Can I run?will he let me go?

Not sure………..

I tried to run

Oh! No my legs were his.

I could feel the tremor;

An attempt to die would have been better;

But I was his;

Moving away from the rays of sun to the murky side of the moon

Wish! Are they granted?

Can I wish!!

No, who will listen to a desperate sinner

A greedy person.

Who could possibly help me?

Only one came one voice!

Who could it be….

Red eyes, all that could be seen;

Devil!!!

Meek and needy I surrender

Years gone by;

I am now alive in this world

But like that night,I am not alone

There are others like me,

In the darkness…………..
