I see him there
But he doesn’t talk
He finds me staring
And turns around to walk

Is this what we’ve been reduced to?
Ignorant bliss - solely for you

Shackled to our bonds
And surrounded by brambles
Like sand castles by the sea
Strong foundations crumble

My hand shakes, my pen breaks
But I am not suppressed
Tearing grass and filling pages
With a force I never knew I possessed

Feeling unwanted, ignored and lost
I sink down with the approaching dusk
Losing myself in the thick mist
My identity becomes a mask

My lips start to quiver
Because you’re right there
But you’re looking right through me
I realize, with a shiver

Nothing remains, all is lost
My efforts are in vain
Pain and twangs of sadness are all I have
When you are washed away in the rain

Your superhero wears a cape.
Mine talks to a camera.

Winter Love, never did last till spring ,
Who knows what the year , is fated to bring;
And yet i say , somethings are meant to last,
Unlike petty parchments of our past .

We are separated by worlds ,
Of the same **** city ;
But even parallel lines ,
Do meet at infinity.

‘Tis your pennies that make me pound,
Like a shepherd mourning his fallen hound ,
Such is the death of my drunken pride ,
That makes winter , a poet’s bride .

‘Tis your comfort , I wish to skin,
And the game of chance , that scripted your win,
Such is the shine of a tanner’s hide,
That make’s winter , a poet’s bride .

‘Twas your charity that made me wait,
On the doorsteps of your divine’s hate ,
Such are the Churches I laid aside ,
To make winter, the Poet’s bride .

Realization Strikes

I can’t rhyme my way to the kingdom of warmth
But I can roam the streets ,
Like I always did ,
In search of warmth

And Roam I did

I roamed that Street ,
Where the City pretends to be what its not .
I roamed those Hearts who call that Street,
Home of their Christmas thought .
I roamed it all ,
Till the fairy lights were there to help me see ,
But Alas ,
I found no warmth where they promised it would always be ,

But Instead ,

Not Far away from the echoes of the city making merry .
I found an abandoned cemetery,
And in the Sea of unmarked graves,
I heard the voices of forgotten braves;
And So,
I learnt the art , Of braving the Chill,
Without a survivor’s iron will  .
I learnt to sleep without a care ,
And immune I became to winter’s nightmare .
Its written from the perspective of the homeless sand destitute of my City - Kolkata. One can find references to You can references to Park Street ( The so called Party Hub for Christmas Freaks )  and the  Park Street Cemetery nearby that lies abandoned and unnoticed .

It isn't particularly the loneliness.
It isn't particularly my great family.
It isn't particularly feeling more unattached than ever.

It's the silence.
It's the extra time with myself.
It's getting to know my dark side.

It's everything.
It's the cosmos.
Simple reminder : The holidays are't a great time for everyone.

You’re lost
Not a speck of your dust remains
You were not a mistake
You were not in vain

Their last words that of falling down
Sinking in, giving up
Broken smiles grace their features
Glazed looks take over

But for our hearts
And the marks they left
For love rewards love
And ignorance, hate
For the fallen Winchesters.
