to roads ahead…

post the ‘night’…
amidst…the din
in shattered quiet…lies
in expectation
etched in gnawing wait
as still life…
vignettes
drawn in swirls
of blood…bled dry
of passion’s heat
its flow… staunched
by comatose exist
as ardour… metamorphs
to cool…
brushed on colours
kaleidoscope layerings
on life’s neutered canvas
a heart’s throb
deep frozen…
in painted-out pasts
of…indifference
and so lost
‘on a road less travelled’
in its dark…flailings
so-walled-in
interred…in dying light
inevitable…yet reborn anew
as day dawns…replete…with a star…
once more
