It's midnight, around 4 am
and all I can see is
the silhouette of the fan
sputtering dark air
on my pale face
on my sleeping soul
sleeping since eons
with the faint taste of music
that is
blending in Your silence
ethereal yet confusing.

Not that I do not feel like home here, but I know I belong to another place. My eyes are almost moist right now at the very thought of it. Two days down the line.. and I will be in my shrine in front of My Gods. If it seems like exaggeration, I wish I had ways to open my heart and show the plethora of emotions flooding inside it.

But silence is definitely a language. There are so many occasions when I speak to them through it, wishing each time hopelessly that...

like a star.....

...like a star, like some glitter, like a dream, like a wind, like a verse, like a magic... it comes and goes... it comes and goes.. and leaves behind its traces... like a fragrance, like a wisp, like a light, like a mist..
