Clandestine

By Anveeksha Reddy

I drown deep into my tears

Consuming myself with all my everlasting fears

Pondering and pondering upon my miseries I leave in unclear declares

Forever and ever you are the barer of all my impair

Stabs evident on my back, treachery screams in its marks

Bleeding my soul, drops of it leave behind gleaming sparks

Heaven dims, hell glimmers in its glory, the telltale sign of strings

The cadence of the music so loud, it numbs the pain it brings

Fleeing glances of theft compensate for loud confessions

The irony of serene conversations ignites the flame of burning aggressions

Fire upon ice meant to be, the tales of vivid ardours fly high in its gleams

Their tales as old as time, cease the vigour in their bright seems

Void in my bone hammers through my heart, dusk till dawn

Painting my canvas with its blood, no consent to be frowned upon to your games, I’m the pawn

My dreams shredded, nightmares now a figment of my life, a dreaded dark paradise

Wars of words too quiet, the silence cuts with concise.
