THE SOUL

"The burning within..! "

Seen my soul on a hot rail track...
running in infinite parallels.
there appear mirages, those hallucinates...
at the end, there is only emptiness..
emptiness that is shallow or deep.
there exists tears in depths..
there exists pain in the shallows..
there exists promises on both..
but are always unkempt.an empty bottle shatters on the steel,
an empty bottle that was earlier of sour spirit,
spirits downed to painful throats ..
to quench the thirst of agonies of birth.
thrown and shatters on the hot steel.
the sparkling shards, everywhere around..
and some pierces the soul with pain.
the blood stains the hot steel rails,
with a swish, that only my ears heard..
