The haunted coffin

Buried deep beneath in the graveyard of my own desires,  My coffin there lays still but awaken. Those dreams, roadmaps and the plans Once networked across the axons of this brain
By Dinesh Raj Pande

Buried deep beneath in the graveyard of my own desires, 

My coffin there lays still but awaken.

Those dreams, roadmaps and the plans

Once networked across the axons of this brain

Slaying of fun, the joy and those beauties around 

Those arid, sleepless nights and years of self abjuration.

Throughout life I was hallucinating for glory 

And improved grades obsession.

Weary, lifeless and tired 

In deep silence, now, my ailing body lays there all alone. 

Yet tides of thoughts constantly uproar 

Days and nights along my cranial shore.

Beholding those famed, distinguished corpses 

lying tranquilly in the common ground.

One cold night from the graveyard, my coffin may rise

Eyes closed for ages in lust 

May then finally realize.

Each day, through entire life, you ran 

Over a thousand miles as hard as you can.

In the end, what did you truly achieve?

For in this delusive universe, 

Your desires were no more than just a lust 

In which you should never believe.
