Isn’t it a curse to live long
Beloved friends all gone
Kiths and kins buried down
Remains their name on the stone.

Sitting alone at the bay
Hair, beard all grey
As I peep at the past
A few memories that last

Always wanted to live long
Rein the world, get the throne
Luxury, name and fame
Emperor of my own game.

Countless nights wasted on hope
Handful of moments spent for love
Hope lies in fist now
Love is nowhere to be found.

A little too late
To fear death,
A little too late
To turn around.

A faded thought still remains
A desire to be remembered
If not the name I have earned
For the deeds I have done.
An old man is sitting alone at the bay thinking about the life he lived. Reaching to this point of life , he realizes he has spent most of his youth on earning and dreaming big. Now that he achieved all that he wanted, he understands how worthless everything is. The  man is really lonely without anyone to accompany him. He is left alone ,the way he had left his family alone in the past.

Why do you repel death
As if you stepped on an uncouth reptile
That stupified your mirth with a sting
and stiffled your brearth with dark coils round your girth?

The sibling death was with you ever since your birth
As close and distanced  as the self-effacing unmouthed mammoth  earth.

Throughout your path
And  passage along childhood to Man or
Motherhood
You did not see the truth
That death was with you ever since your
Being to  becoming growth
As a naive and native
Star in the north.

When you giggled and smiled in sleep-shell
the death was smiling with you as well.
When you dreamed and deemed yourself immortal
The death was kind at your daring mettle.
When you forgot to know the worth
Of the Love Smith
Who carved you as the crown of creation
The death was with you, an emphatic narration, a gentle witness of your lavished wishes of yourself.

Death was around you
Embracing your kiths
With valour indepth
And a love of eternal strength!

Still you strolled  uncontrolled to count your mortal home and hearth,
Ephemeral wherewithal

Death was ever loving
And lent you a free living
Even when you were  ailing.


Still you failed in your mirth
To listen and learn
From  what its worth
Still he is mute and modest as earth
And a caring and guiding  north star.

Then why do you loathe
And  show dearth of love to the one who
Loves all in equal strength
And blanks out all balance sheets,  
That credit and debit all accounts on earth
To the remembrance bank of infinity
without showing any disparity?

Sip of a liquor we felt on our lips ,
Erased our memory of all kiths and kins
All we can see is the crowd around us
Same are the faces all circled in rush
Darkness all around , We want to go back home
But don 't have the strength to stand on our own
We felt deep pain our eyes could not hold
Pain in our chest, tears from our soul
We stood up , Walked and tried our best
Tried, Tried and tried until our life came to rest
Now we are cured from the disease called life
And deep in the eternal world we have to dive
*** , ***** , Tequila shots shot us dead
Never let it happen to you , Never get trapped in this
suffocating net

Nah!
Emma not Salman Khan
Making my quarantine
Valentines in  house
Coz
No farmhouse to have
Jacqueline in
Okay !
Don’t wanna make it
That’s not my fate
To be in date
Always
But I am like a garbage bins
Without my kiths and kins
Where are the moments ?
Watching movies and getting hyped
Happy in coca-cola or wine
But now it’s 55th days
Hadn’t seen their faces
So now I am messaging god
to pull off from this grave
By your grace
This glitch is enough
we learned how to live
Forgive us
We are in your need !
Hope you like it !
