Locked in Mesmerz

Waking up, locked within dreams;
An incandescent irony: truth melds with reality —
Flawless cravings for an ideal tomorrow,
Built on the fragile hope of transcending death.

In the searing fire of the monster's temple,
Hurled from the third story to the verdant bed below.
Awakening in a hospice amid a torrential quake,
Yet still pondering the fates of squandered riches.

Menstruating thoughts, those recurring desires,
Of pain and trauma, of overwhelming joy—
Lost amid countless strands of illusion,
Both caressing and cursing one's own being.

Drinking wine from glasses filled with greasy sand,
Unraveled in an ancient temple of lavish bareness,
Devoured upon the altar of adoration,
With the Holy Grail resting on a desolate aisle.

Sensuous loneliness crowds the wrinkled mind,
Uttering untold miseries of legendary deceits—
Framed by the deaf ears of Dorian Gray,
And involuntary musings.

Waking within nightmares,
Faces pierced with needles;
Pleading with us all to unlock the door,
And release me from my own agony.

  12. @akaash: French would consume May/June! Will keep in touch.anonymous: You may relate the story someday.s: The answer to your question is very ‘general’… something that I would like to keep general for the sake of simplicity and acceptance. Maybe living for others is also a part of living for oneself.
