Contest With The Sun

====Contest With The Sun====

copyright@pushkar prabhat, 19/11/2014

 

Abused, wounded......

Scared and bled;

i am sore from the night.

i have survived some breaths..............

 

i am marked, crimson;

By my fate;

Targeted by these beams........

 i am cracking at the dawn!

 

Obstinacy: Survival.

Agenda: to remain.

Eyes locked with the sun,

Blindness: Opulence!

 

Overhead and strong:

Frailty set ablaze........

In warmth of the past,

i am melting in the pain.

 

Let it scorch, burn me to ashes.

For i am not counting

On the night to heal;

That’s just another devil, to deal.

 

i will keep my pride,

For my principles shall prevail;

Till dusk is all the time,.......

then, this sun is going down in Flames!

A very meaningful piece of literature. Yes it looks a healing for the one who suffers I feel like.

These lines touching yes somebody can escape from their pain in night and somebody takes the help of night to heal themselves. But obe day that make you feel exhausted fine so its nothing but to deal with another demon meaningful.

Every time we fall, we get up twice as stronger. Burnt to ashes to reborn: Pheonix..
Every moment is a war waged, battle wounds to tell a tale
Cool work here buddy! Some times nights merge into days, no chance to tell. I used to not fall asleep so atleast that made me believe a day is not over and I can continue.

Reminded me of the nights when time ticks by, but brain retaliates, rewinds, repeats: nothing good. Keeping us up.

P.S: At first read it seemed like you are being melodramatic about a major hangover :P which is also a way to look at it. ;)

[Pushkar Prabhat]
