A Conversation

"Oh creature, who are you?"

I asked to the chasing shadow

Who then did unveil itself

From the darkness but its face won't show.

With silence as the reply

In mere oblivion both stood

One in anticipation of an answer

The other trying to escape if he could.

But with all the strength it had

the creature did reply,

"Oh! This little big planet won't help me much

I should better start learning to fly."

Confused by its own words it spoke

Unaware of what it meant.

It collapsed under its own frustration

And a shriek of rage it sent.

"Oh God!"Forgive me for I have sinned,

And I plead for no more punishments

For this life itself is the most painful one

And I suffer in all its encroachments."

"Oh creature, who are you?"

I asked again to the sinner that in front of me stood.

Who there stood still in the darkness

Being as emotionless as one could.

"Pain is what destroys one's soul

and makes the being a hollow

which then lusts for pain and lives for blood

A human soul is made too shallow.

Life is a game which can't be won

But fate is an opponent that can be defeated

Death is a stage which cant be overseen

But destiny is a level which can be created.

Still to do all this in the darkness I live in

Is like finding the light at the end of an infinite tunnel.

With having hopes and beliefs in here as a sin

Death and pain being the only things to crave for.

Memories once consumed are hard to forget

But dreams once seen are hard to remember

Nightmares once been in are hard to escape

And life once gone through, you don't want to remember."

"Oh creature, who are you?"

Impatiently I asked the lost dweller

Who lost in memories now stood

And continued being the story teller.

"Love is a lie that breaks one's heart

and clenches him in its unbreakable spell

Which brings shades of white in a life of black

But throws us back into a place known as hell.

With trusts all broken

I'm living a life of no reason

A world where its always dusk

With no change of season.

As a drop of tear

Vanishes in the big wide sea

In this sorrowful world

I'm lost for none to see."

"Oh my friend, what kind of life you live

Tears flow down as I hear your lore.

But also laugh I do at your destined fate

So i would like to know no more.

Just I want to know whose fate are you?"

And then did the creature step outside

With its head bowed down low

But now its face it didn't hide.

As I saw its visage my body went shivering

For all this time it was ME who was speaking.
