ELEGY

 

thoughts running through my head 

no one told me this is how it goes 

how complicated our existence is

I’m now a shadow of myself 

a tale I cannot comprehend 

an elegy in the courtyard 

a well adorned and decorated grave  

my mind is running amuck 

my mind is no longer a safe space 

my heart is no more a haven  

be careful when you come close to fall in love 

hence you might become a victim for yourself 

my world is berserk as I speak 

a dark hallow erupting fury  

no sound but hullabaloo rends the sky

moth and rust inhabits the trenches 

a subtle dirge plays in my mind always 

my senses waltzing to rhythmic sorrows 

metronome clicks so loud and annoying 

this is my mind, and mine alone 

an elegy to soothe my sanity 

my tombstone inscription… so beautiful 

when I’m gone, lower me not in a grave

cremate me, let me forever lie with Mother Nature
