Mute lane and Stains of War by Shakti Shetty
mute lane
I’ve seen some places
where hopes are sold
some tears are bargained
and smiles are stored
where dreams are built
and weighed up on scale.
Aims are lowered, prayers are failed
these places are in darkness too
like heart do
with nothing left to prove
motioned nowhere
not known where to leave
too scared to ask, downed;
peaceful days are all left back
once you pass this lane
call it a curse or bliss, unchained
you’ll never find yourself sane
these words are just a drop
of endless stories untold
I’ve seen some places
where dreams are sold.
Stains of war
Blood has spilled, rain bade bye
Sun still kissing the wounds alive
Roads are waiting, traveler’s unseen
Is it a beginning or end, it seems’
Days ago, kids were out
Days ago, kitchens smelt fine
Days ago, smiles did smiled
Days ago, veins flowed strong.
Story has changed, curtains stained
Some surviving on dusky breath
Others forsaken by angels of death
God visited but he too left
Didn’t say a word; simply wept.
