May 2018
The day begins with a badly burned tawny sun rearing its head up impatiently waiting for the dusk to gather and ends with a pale ashen moon casting its feeble light in vain to diminish the overwhelming darkness all around.But i'm determined to see more than this.Tell me that the sun is beaming today kissing the sky a scintillating golden revealing a most breathtaking summer afternoon and the moon's lustre is beckoning me to spend the night under its ethreal radiance and i'll believe you.
The distended day feels like a colourless ocean and i dont know how to swim.So i spend my time thrashing its vacuous waves struggling to remain just above its surface so i can almost breathe with a slight difficulty.But i intent on feeling more than this.Hold my hand,crack a few inane jokes. I'll laugh so hard you'll have to press your hands to your ears but the sound of laughter in an empty house always echoes thunderously isnt it.I feel incredibly  peaceful when the heavy night surrounds me
Its my refuge my sanctuary till dawn breaks mercilessly through my window and shatters the thick layers of brooding silence all around me.The thrumming universe outside
rarely alights my curiosity.I'm a mute spectator when i step outside,hardly discernible specially when the sudden onslaught of wind knocks me down at a desolate corner of the street.But if you try to show me that the hush of the morning is filled with serenity and is more blissful than the sulking silence of the night then i'll readily abandon my sanctuary .Tell me that my footsteps have the strength to carve fissures on this earth and the pulsating rhythm that i hear outside can be heard from inside of me too.I will be genuinely interested then in exploring the different facets of life with you.Will you just try a little bit to make me believe slowly that i'm capable of living like you and not just existing like this?i insist that you do so.
