A reticent room
Silence which only followed me relentlessly
Sprinkles of dusts seeking refuge in corners of my mind
Covering old feelings that once shone so bright it seemed as if haephastus\'s forge was roaring in a blaze
Books filled with knowledge yet gave no definitive answer
The humour of it simply paraded through my consciousness
So loud
The quietness that haunted me was exorcised away in hushed tones ever so subtly .
I was walking in circles
Drawing ouroboros with the footprints left behind in the wake of my search
Devouring myself to feel whole again
Enchanted by the lies that rocked me to sleep
Wrapped in the vile warm blankets of illusion that gave me comfort during despair
Pillows that have witnessed the decay of youth and the nourishment of change
The silent droplets of rain that soiled my face
drowning in hopelessness
My bed was a time capsule
My life being etched into its very fiber of existence
The more I explored the room
I was greeted with emotions bound down by coiled chains
It was all so beautiful
Turning around to leave I relapsed into old behaviours
Sharing a passionate kiss the very feelings that I resented and enslaved
Leaving was no option
Moving ahead was no option
I\'m not stuck in the past nor am I lost in the vast expanse of my future
I\'m simply in a melancholic dream
Sleeping was taste of heaven yet nothing short of a sentence in hell
Gods which didn\'t exist to me ,
Spoke , their voice dripping with ambrosia and honey
I\'ve become a celestial body
My dreams gave rise to God\'s and were littered with plethora of hypocrisy
Woken by a icy cold breeze
My eyes were greeted with darkness
Yet miniscule globules of light dashed intensely, puncturing the darkness which clouded my eyes
I saw a room
I heard my myself speak
The phantoms which tailed me relentlessly have fallen asleep
