My luggage!

My luggage is laid in empty room,
Secretly hidden are some wishes;
Relics of dreams lay safely there,
Some flowers hidden unwillingly;
Spirit kept searching for a friend—!
My pride strolled hither and thither;
But, scent of my soil didn’t ascend!
My pride dishonored in alien’s land;
A lamp of hope, lighted in eerie
Eyes, in murky, gloomy nights;
The body thawed like mud in water
Discoloring colors, in monsoon rain;
The door’s kept open for you——-
My luggage is laid in empty room!

I buried another tear of my life today
The tear evident of your absence;
Will lug its corpse until I am unknown
And that dream, you perceived with
Flying winds; will remain awake
In my eyes, until I finally sleep;
Death is a fact of life, which is
The truth of our flawed belief;
You wrote canto of death in tacit lexis
Thus bestowed subsistence to the death
And surrendered your own life;
I will seek my mire in thy mud
Of life,
Till the moment when I turn
To mud!
