Standing on the edge ov this tall building,
With the serene sun shimmering on my face,
I can feel through my arms the wind blowing,
whispering into my ears about my recent chaotic past,
and in front ov my eyes, see it pass so fast,
a colourless collage that can define,can confine,
I close my eyes and gasp...out ov the bedlam,
And plunge into the air at the wake of the calm,
now I am airborne...
The fresh moist air fills the void in me,
my face lit up with a smile ecstatic..
My eyes close shut,only contentment they see,
my arms wide open,feeling the cold embrace ov the wind,
no regret,no complaint,no burden,I live this dream..
I mere enjoy this freedom,yes,I live this dream.
long I have lived a life ov others,
now I live few moments ov mine...
oh I am airborne...
Is it my mother's unconditional love?
or is it my father's perpetual expectations?
Or is it my boss' ceaseless decrees?
It might be Naina's comfort that I craved!
which one is the catalyst to my plight,I wonder..
But I care no more,I only enjoy this moment I live..
I left them all 250 meters back,
back on the rooftop,I left my past forever...
Yes I am airborne..
I feel the blood gushing through my veins,
muscles contract and expand fencing my bones,
for the one last time I feel my breath..
I wish to preserve my heart's last beat...
I lie on the ground gazing at the skyward treat...
and for the first time I see,life walking away from me..
now I am newborn...
The declaration of you being airborne in your virtual plunge really triggered those goosebumps while i was reading it with Ankur.
ReplyDeleteYes the domino effect has started. Kudos!
First one i read of yours...loved it, am not sure the last stanza is needed, it distracts a little by stating the obvious, but i do like the punch of the keyword 'newborn'
ReplyDeleteNice writing ☺
