Death

i drenched from sweat
unable to move my hands
fell on the cold bed.
A numbness spread on my lips
i pressed it on to the pillow.

I was sinking into depths
I did nt know its end
unable to fall to the end
i floated in the depths

The room was humid
A stench pervaded everywhere.
The smell of rotten flowers
given to thousands of deities
by thousands of men........

I could see their faces,
they had strange faces
most of them didnt have eyes
their eyes given to their deities

"He is free from this room
he is been send out.
He didnt know why he was send in
He didnt know why he is released

From one room to another
from one corner to the other
from one paradise to another
from servility to slavery.......

His friends showed happiness
a bright smile on their faces
He did nt knew why they smiled
He never smiled them back.

His papers are ready
His ticket ready n minutes
Next mornning he will be free
to another free world............"

I slowly read the note
and smiled at it
all these years i was waiting
longing
afraid i would get this note
and the moment has come

I climbed from the bed
took the razor lying there in the bin
and now i can see my diety
she is beautiful all in red
dancing with other deities
i can see red bright red
ha i can feel it
i can breathe it..............
breath
death

"when they found him
pools of blood in the room
were hiding below the bed.
stayed in those dark corners
afraid to come out of the light

and a note was sailing unfaced
in that pool
un moved and untouched by the blood
It read
"I have married Religion
love
Deity "
