Clinical breakdown of a personal tragedy
You did not take my call yesterday
or the day before and even the previous day
It's not unusual not in the least
don't misinterpret my silence as my
complete lack of surprise
This silence is of the rare kind
one you would find over a tranquil lake
during slow moving twilight in autumn
I bleed with a pained smile and wait
The whole world reciprocates in ignorant bliss
Silently they move about trapped in their own
life capsules-demons-doves-developments [so they say]
Oblivious I lie obliterated-cancerous void spreading
faster then I could summarize my tragedy
This is deja vu-you are a repetition-just another number
in my long list of ambiguities I can not live without
and I assume my role of an escape-a parenthesis for you
in the larger picture-a changeover between various recurring
acts of your life-clear cut and well-defined role
[it's one of its kind]
Utterly deafening silence pulls the life out of folds of skin
as tears sink back in [reverse osmosis is underway]
survival mode
My life is a stage and I am the thespian
You are a star and I am the star struck-who stabs his heart
[when you beam]
Uncontrollable spikes of bliss shoot
it's all optical illusion of the stage
Misdirection techniques used to camoflage
You are a lie-permanent beyond the event
I am the truth and transient-awaiting my fall
A mighty army lies by your side-dispensable-faceless
and nameless they are soldiers of misfotune
I am powerless and spellbound by thousand black suns-
which blind me in their collective glory-a flash
[Fade to black]
The drapery slides across-gushing while I stand ahead
alone on stage in the dark-shackled and broken winged
the cherub with wounds and it remains that way as the
show continues
I am the backstage now-the dark side of the doom-just an
artifact which could be used from time to time
When bows would pierce the soft pulp and eyes would flutter
In reaction, transcending above the mortal exit wounds
And like this under your name the show would go on
as the electromagnetic signals would race thru the phone
I am just a character-I am just a name
You have the licence and I have the silence
Rare perfection achieved in short notice
Congratulations as you have won the subscription of
a lifetime of modest heartbeats and frozen tears
Use them, diffuse them-statues just stare in prayer
and if you wish you can't locate my impression
Rot spreads fast in soft tissue that'd be the undoing
But my billion trapped heart beats would accompany you
as you trundle and glide in the giant masquerade
Don't react when the mask crumbles it's but a nightmare
You had set my heart on fire & they warned you to not play
Pyromania blended with indifference & quasi-amorous devotion
for an anthropomorphic form of sustainable yang since long ago
whose bluish necrosis became a lifelong wet dream
The penumbra of yab & yum in me showed you an oasis
and look at the empire of rust you have built-
ravaged & flourishing-permanent fixtures in this setting
The architect of preamature disaster posing as diademed Diana
I oscillate for the prognosis between you and impermeable fate.
