We all-characters of an allegory Elucidate life and death
There is hyphen-sign between life and death Disappearance of which begets the parting hour
It is as if the soul travels On the road of life flanked by dark,thick,sullen trees of death With its crescendoing sound of hush The road gets narrower slowly till the wilderness of death subsumes it
Bones,flesh and blood-victims to death , sobs in lonely cemeteries Wrapped in frigid caskets With rasping of somber damp gusts of wind That sounds like dirge
And the departed warm soul Wafts in its stillness Like a flower unattended Crooning the mellow ditties Floating against the sable To white,red,azure sky To the warmer climes Where the bigger source of life reigns beyond the badger of death

2.My thoughts come back everytime From where they had started To rewrite themselves Just maiming the words Always unfinished in the end
With cliched meanings, crammed full in a puzzled poem; Often make space for themselves On front page,smiling with luminous ink among fleeting bustle of Thoughts of other minds
But soon have to make blank space And finally freeze to a hush.........
To be rewritten In some other time In some other words In vacant ecstasy.......
