Lullaby

Last evening was gloomy,
& I am tempted to keep it a drab.

All that I am living is a lie,
Dont feel I am living it right.

All that I need is a stranger,
For dark reasons
For Greed& Lust&Seed&Fear.

Just one kiss,
And I know nothing exsists.
...In the end nothing exsists.

I close my eyes,
And it's just a Lullaby..
Just a Lullaby....

I love this sleep,
And the blanket of numb emotions
that comes with it.

Hey you..leave the lights on,
Swirling in this deep sea of blankets
is no love..but all fear
Nothing to hide
Nothing to see..

Afterall nothing exsists,
It's all a Lullaby!

A little sad, but beautifully written. I love the first line, "Last evening was gloomy,
& I am tempted to keep it a drab."

CJ:This poem was written in a weak/sad moment...it does not reflect the state of my mind...Like all events in ones life,It changed me and am sure for the better...It isnt my kind of writing otherwise....

It's true that most people live a lullaby...our choice of response makes life woth living/not.

Sanjay: Hi.Welcome!!

EP: Glad you liked it!!My fav lines though are:
"All that i need is a stranger,
For Dark Reasons
For greed&lust&seed&fear."

Weird. I never could see this post. It was showing me the earlier post only.. Blogger is being such a bugger these days! :(

These lines.. don't reflect your mood, do they?

But these have to be one of your best ever! :) Brilliantly written.

Rohit...the moment i wrote this,it stopped affecting me negatively and it no longer reflects my mood.

I dont particularly like this piece coz it is sad...and very rarely do i see things in that perspective..somewhere it isnt forward looking...i am planning to rewrite it!!
