A place called home...

I`d made my homepage,
shouting out loud,
the same as when I brought in my first trophy,
when friends cheered, parents felt proud.

It took me a very long time
to open up and share.
Even with a greater closure to the world,
talking life to ‘them’ was still a dare.

‘The infinite web had snapped me out’,
I had an intuition.
But the fantasy world seemed so real
that I just couldn`t avoid my own dilution.

The strings attached easily,
A single click took away all the pain.
The knots floated in empty airs,
but the expressionless prints never did any gain.

I felt flattered while
typing out to the world, as were they.
But when it came to family and friends,
there were seldom words to say.

The clouds got thicker and thicker,
nobody knew when it`d rain.
One day they burst out of large lumps
when I realized myself to be far away from ‘sane’.

I `d made my homepage,
kissing the tempting breeze that had flown.
I`d made my homepage,
but had lost a place to call ‘home’.

The Darkness fell...

Standing dumb in the twilight I was thoughtful
Should I run towards the sun with all my push?
or wait for the darkness to cover me under its tail,
making me even dumber, absolutely helpless?

I`d been under the obtuse glory of the sun
and Knew it wasn`t one of my enemies.
Hadn`t done me any harm lately,
I`d been raised under that yellow umbrella worth prophecies.

I didn`t know what darkness was all about,
The day never did accord the opportunity.
Though I knew it wasn`t as good as the silky green grass
or the tall dense tree in the extreme north saving humanity.

The sands passed by leaving me thoughtful
and equally dumb as I was, standing.
I doubt though whether the heap of daftness had hilled,
eventually looking at the satisfied happy faces, smiling, I stopped thinking.

Laughing, dancing, singing, I passed away delightfully
the chances the day had given, worth twisting.
Meanwhile when others brought themselves safe houses,
I wondered for my own sake what all to bring.

“I – the reason for their smiles” was just a mislead
“All of them were fake and disguised” I never realized
Following their trails happened to be a wrong intuition,
But who knew it`d come that heavily priced.

The sun gradually lost its gleam, descended
My fellow passengers out rightly did rail.
And I stood alone in the middle, still smiling,
As the darkness fell.
