Poetry: Sigma Sathish

Sigma Sathish

Hollowness 

 

You know, 

After the unfathomable 

 Journey into oneself,

I understood

there is a big hollowness

between abstract and real.

When unforgettable fancies

take us

to unpaved realities of big life 

We delved into

unfamiliar world of mind.

 

In the ocean of togetherness 

I screamed

and merged myself into your tale.

I had saved, 

my silence 

before I swam into you. 

Hateful thoughts left me.

In this time of uncertainty 

I gathered,

 rambling stories and poems,

to make you comfortable.

 

You played the voice 

of uncertainty,

And I explored the voice of creativity,

in my consciousness.

With all delusions

a new road opened ,

But there is a big void

between You and me...
