A Living Dream

What was the question you’d asked?
Incoherent speech delivered
Delusional thoughts murmured
Blurred vision sees unknown
Ears hear unfamiliar unsound

Painted scenery is hung upside down
On the walls of memories
In a picture frame moment is fasten
Showcasing invisible skeletons
Only my eyes can see

Ambulance sirens are getting stronger
Chaos is found every where
Doors slammed open and shut
Surrounding are few whispers
Washed in blood stains is the scene

Bent out of shape figure
Exposed beneath distorted bonnet
Mirrors can’t see any more
Door is wide open for pain
Windows are crushed glasses
Are laid on the grounds to bleed

Busted tires on unbalanced steel
Once a family ride
Now is the proof of hurt
Insurance digs into
Law seeks excuses

Following is the day
Dressed in all black
Within the crowd, I stand alone
Tears are dried fruits
A hole is now found where heart is
Words have lost their meaning

…Time stands near mocking from a far

Lost in the web of years
Reasons of bitter truth are unknown
Untimely death comes in set time
While legal system waits for the resolutions

…someone responsible for the act
Never was found to face the reality
…books of account is still open
The ledger has negative balance

And bankruptcy is filed
Waiting for its discharge

Will the case ever be resolved?
For my loss I can never recover

….For the bodies are buried
Souls are still wandering
For the justice they deserve…
Calling out my name

Out of breath, I gasp heavy sighs gasping
Wet in my own sweat
Eyes flow tears of misery

…and I once again get up in the middle of the night
…it’s the anniversary of the past
I celebrate with pain in my heart
With fading phone calls I make
Now every few days
Hoping for the answers I seek

…It’s a living dream I live in every breath
…Kodak moment captured in black and white
In the shades of gray clouds hovering my life
