I Have Never Felt So Despondent

Posted on by

in my life

a slew of problems

like mosquitoes

hover around me

and when they bite

I sink further

into turmoil

my mind and body

seem like different

entities

earlier they were

the same

existing in harmony

now they are at war

and they are both losing

I have got stuck

in the middle

I don’t know

what to do

lying down

in my bed

sitting in my chair

I feel such

despair

I simply can’t

shake off

so I get up

and wander

from room

to room

alienated

and slowly

I become

a ghost

even then

sorrow

is what

I experience

the most.

There is So Much Pain in Life

and then something cracks

within you

and you turn into a ghost

and you wander the streets

like living death

and it is there

right from the beginning

from childhood

the heart gripped

by alien hands

cowardly claws clutch

at your throat

and evil blows

your mind out

like fire

and all that is left

of you now

are ashes.

I Am Transforming Into A Ghost

Posted on by

I can feel my eyes become holes

and my face and flesh disappearing

and I am gone like the air

through my skeleton

and this is what it finally is I know

the end is bone cranium teeth ribcage

all the hollows all that you can’t see

all the mystery

and the world goes with it

the Earth the sunlight the landscape

the people the entire Universe vanishes

and you are nothing

but this empty white shell your skeletal fingers

and toes

long over are all your woes.

The Dead Live With Us

they attack us

till our minds are spat out

and we are garbage strewn

about for stray dogs

who wag their tails

eating our bodies

with pleasure

what can we say

for ourselves

what are we

I wonder

as the sound

of the wind whistling

shatters my eardrums

making it bleed

while my body is battered

by trees and rocks

and black hounds race

towards me

tearing me to shreds

and instantly I become

a ghost and go about

killing people.

This Morning I Have Become The Ghost In Me

Posted on by

and the world is hiding

like a thief

and all that I see is illusion

and what are these voices

I hear

who are these people

who speak

and the greyness

the children flying away

and the bang

the blood that flows

the bodies that go

so sad the cosmos

like a cat wanting love

and I am nothing

but the hand that

wants to pet it

and when I look

at my fingers

I see them disappear

and the wraith

that I am sadly

also vanishes.

How Disoriented I Have Become

Posted on by

any physical activity

and my mind is clouded

over by chaos

and all that I see is white

unrolling like my brain

and I am in this lost zone

blown through

some strange space

where everything

in my head is coming off

and all my words

all my thoughts

disappear

and what

is this presence

I ask myself

and I feel like

I have been bombed

and it is my ghost

that is fading

from this life

and there is rage

and madness all around

and I am simply voices

that are not my own

screeching

and then

I am hurtled

towards burning

and ashen skies

and I explode

into the darkness

where I vanish.

Now My Body Has Left Me

and I know the Dominic

that lived in Bombay is dead

and the Dominic that lives

here in Kumily is a ghost

this is what it all comes

down to I understand

and the world is full

of disillusionment

and deceit

it is all one crazy thing

and I feel like everything

inside me is going

to come out of my mouth

and drown this universe

with all its stars.
