For one more breath

Imprisoned in the shackles of my own doings
buried alive inside those emotions that were far from being
I prayed inside to let the puzzle dissolve
to make it all vanish in blank was the call
the wheel kept whirling
Mind in mixer - swirling
I heard the sounds of sweetest doves
they gave me headache
they offered me perk
the silence was killing too
hard to get, it was still a woo
the crazy noise of being inside
those uncalled expressions
those selfish designs
At times I reached a city
healing and getting cured
in roles of ethnicity
at times I was in forest
blue lights blue crust
It was all amazing
but those were bubbles
the soapy surf seemed
to attack my peace my mind
It was all over
on walls in breath even on shoulder
I felt out of breath
with mind gasping
for one more breath
one more silent gasp
of time alone
of time without wrath
But the dark arms clutched from all sides
and I got grooved wondering
why it was so blinding bright
wondering if I had an option
wondering how crazy was the auction
And wishing again n again
a wish without name
and wishing a new name
with no game
with no aim
and no tame
and there in the dark sea
I saw again the same flaw
the same wheel of desire
the same eternal fire
the same life and death
the same pleasure and wrath
and then I realized
there is no struggle
there is no fight
or maybe there is!
For one more breath!
