Redux

Redux

By, Kaushik Paul


All my dreams,
Turn into screams,
I miss the bliss of light.

Only left a few,
Of all that I knew,
Rest have faded into the night.


Wishes of mine,
With the tide of time,
Have swept away into the sea.

Now I cry,
Under the heartless sky,
Things weren’t how I wanted them to be.


My tears fall on the sandy shore;
It sucks them up and asks for more.
I gaze, baffled by the hunger of the land.

I wipe my tears,
Curb my fears,
And to begin anew, up, I stand.
