THE FADING SMILES

LIVING IN THESE MORBID SURROUNDS;

I'VE CEASED TO BE A HUMAN BEING, FOR LONG.....

Where rates are fixed and the fates are risked;

My ears have parched out, for long to listen a dulcet lullaby or song,


My sentences, once, were lovely poems to someone and verses to some;

Where life was enchanted, joyous and smiles exceeded my income,

Now I fail to rhyme even a few lines in my never ending queues of words;

And the expressions have vanished; which once described happy moods,



Holes unfathomable have been bored inside heart, and still that beating piece of body;

Tries to cheat its true identity of being a lump of pain, by enacting plays of rhapsody,

Need for dreaming exceeded the need for sleep, eyelids used to close due to the bright visions;

Now the sodden eyes, glued with the fears of future, search for few rays of happy reasons,



When I tried recollecting the faded memories, the scattered pieces of my broken heart laughed at me;

And the body, tired n distressed, demanded a future of harmony n the soul to be set free,

If not the perfect seasons to enjoy, it demanded a few reasons at least;

Just enough to live life more humane and less like an endangered beast,



The syndrome of faded smiles, taking a toll, killing the dimples and images of frivolity, is on a rampage;

A place where stories of pleasure n joy were read once is now ending up on a permanent poster of anger and rage.
