Impossibility of the situation stared at his face. Long, lonely, never ending roads stretched to nowhere. Icy winds hissed like angry serpents. Fatigue, numbness, migraine infiltrated the body. Darkness engulfed darkness. Sound of silence, drowned voices, screams. Desires melted into melancholy. Fear, uncertainty, blended with frustration. He banged his head against fate. There were no lines on his palms.
Faced her like a stranger. No words, no glances were exchanged. Conversation led to paradoxical situation. Specters danced on the pyre. Unfulfilled dreams, unrequited feelings. Roads never traveled upon. Destinations never reached. Words never said. Compulsions coiled rapidly, crushing life. Unfazed by the lashes, peeling skin, back all torn-bleeding, the chained man struggled.
Someone trying to sleep: Tired eyelids, heavy with fatigue.
A man was kneeling down, a gun pointed at him. He wanted the assassin to pull the trigger. He wanted to sleep the sleep that knew no breaking. He wanted to dream forever. No more waking up to reality. The road ahead is blurred. Phantoms stalk silently. Flowers on framed photographs wilt. Silhouettes play with silhouettes. Shadows make love. Skin smells of cancer. An existential crisis stem from a new perception in life.
To love is to lose.
Heathcliff digs his grave. Blind bats fly out of crypts. Moses fail to part the sea. Jesus drags his cross. The matador is gored to death. Hungry lions tear apart rotting carcasses. Blood spills on the bed. The portrait turns ugly.
He had shut the door and threw away the keys. The oversized knob on the massive wooden door had rusted. And then one day, the knob was given a wrenching turn. The door was swung open. Rusted hinges shrieked in anguished complaint. The room was dark and cold. Shattered dreams hung, trapped in the cobwebs of memories.
Looked outside...
Roads still ran around frenziedly Like a confused cobra.Time drifted away like a drifting kite. Satan and God stood holding hands. Smiling. God served the forbidden fruit. Devil laid the table…
