As Sun Kisses Moon- Cries of a Nocturnal Creature

The dances from dusk to dawn is coming to an end as reality slowly creeps in camouflaging with the golden rays of Sun. Everything that glitters is no gold but vision too often numbs the mind. So dumb is the numb mind. Reality slaps while dreams lull, yet in reality we live and dreams we still chase. When dreams come true, they quickly become nightmares instead. Is it all just because dreams are meant to be just dreams and reality should exert pain in order to sharpen the mind? Yet, why is the mind always deceived so easily? If every problem has a solution, then, why are there problems at all? As dawn breaks, it dawned upon me that of absence of light makes the darkness of night and yet, without nights, you cannot count it as a day. So dependent is the light on the absence of itself. Maybe so dependent might reality be on dreams. Then why do we insist on associating bad things with the dark or nights? Maybe this is simply because our mind cannot comprehend that the night is essential in making a day and so it might be the better part of the day itself. But then again, maybe this night life is turning the thoughts to a darker shade.

Thus ends the life of this nocturnal creature as the Sunlight glares through the window forcing the entry of reality (the actual evil element).

Those who hurt others

For those who everyrime hurr others cannot expect to be loved in return. Karma rules everything. Apologies heal not and chances are not infinite.

Sometimes, pain and nothing

Sometimes too little are the tears that drop,
sometimes too much is the pain that stings,
sometimes too high is the sky that hovers,
sometimes too simple are the words that spell.

No pain, no gain, goes the saying,
some pain, gains none and nothing
but just the awful bleed and fainting
for all the joy sucked out for nothing.
