Seek-ness…!

"I shall seek death

As life seeks pleasure

In tempting hours of twilight

In tranquil moments of dawn

In turmoil of evenings

In disguise of a chance

I shall seek death

As life seeks silence

In chaos of troubled heart

In lost trails of unsaid-unheard

In graves of trampled flowers

In temples of conquered thrones

I shall seek death

For I must

For what else could define life

As if to glorify a mud-house

Into a castle of glass

Reflecting of the edges

Shadows, bright and dark

As if flickering star

Gives illusion of a heaven afar

As the seekness comes

In compassion of sorrows

In embrace of the night

While throes of the light

Blinds the sight

I shall seek death

And I shall seek hell

Hell for where else would I see

Myself, as I could be

I shall seek death

For death may seek me too

Paradox of hope

Hope carries life, they say…”
