It's a room drenched in light,
But I see only darkness pieces of those broken stars falling down on me ,
Sharp till I can no more bleed,
My blood licked away by the night that surrounds me ,
That glittery sky , a shimmering shaking night , its black cloak is stained with blood today, on the brink of collapse,
Torn apart by those cruel summer rays
Why do I see it all ?
All that misery ..the silent dawn of the doom we have turned a blind eye to!
They just stand and talk, ignorant, angst,
Unhurt …..untouched….making me wonder endlessly,

It's a room ….drenched in light and I m there with them all…,
A peal of evil laughter tears its way through the thick moist air….a shallow comment passed,
Breaking yet another heart….those pearly tears fall , wiped away ..Unnoticed,
A harsh punishment for me for I prefer the darker side (it's a room drenched in light),
A laugh maybe , a gentle touch form another world …from someone else,
Not here ..not form them,
But I sit..it's the rule of the world,
Shifting form one place to another,

Restless, impatient, wanting to escape,
Music too it seems is soft and dreary, of love and a happy life,
And where is all that , not inside those shallow waters on which we are afloat,
All this and so  much more drains away the little energy I have,
I long for my own surroundings ,my own privacy, but I  am chained , and weak ,
Constantly a loud deafening voice comes barging in…..
Shattering away for the umpteenth time my carefully organized twisted little world,
Faces get in to ma face, looking at me , I M an alien among them , let them see my scars
Maybe those cracked bloody gashes on my face, that shout out  for mercy(for myself ,for the world), will make them learn,

It's a room drenched in light,
Sweaty bodies collide , till I feel like retching ,
Only a touch away , physically,
Yet a life time away , emotionally ,
Fingers pointing, accusingly,
Tongues yapping , stupidly,
Wanting to believe the worst , the dirty , the inhuman,
Grabbing hold of words hanging in the air, words of their own interest,

In a room drenched in light ,
I listen and nod ,
Smile and oblige,
For it's the rule of the world,
A foolish grin , a hidden sneer , plastered on my face ,
So when does it all end?
Maybe now , maybe never ,
The clock ticking away , till I can feel my soul burning,
Jumping at every opportunity to get away,
Flirting my time away,
My eyes drinking in the back of every head,
For faces……I just cant stand , drooling  with greed, so pathetic ,
I wait ..till the food is all gone, till the party is over,
The tongues are locked for the day ,
The ears and mind loaded with garbage,
All to be  poured out the next day, to set ablaze another innocent heart ,

The curtains of dusk are drawn by now ,
I open up my eyes , for I didn't want to see ,
Cotton balls pulled out , who gives a heed?
Good byes settle in and I slip away into the cold night ,
As the winter wind grabs hold of my hand,
Guides me through, till I find solace ,
An evening wasted , that I regret,
But yet again today I witnessed another drama …
We humans so skillfully play ,
So I smile , and snuggle up inside my bed ,
Till sleep mingles up with scattered thoughts, to give birth to  another  dream and frees me!SF
