The Broken Highway
The Broken Highway
by Manahill NaikThe broken highway of distressed brains and deep ditches
Needle shrubs on either sides
Walks the abysmal souls reigned by sorrows
And the souls vacant,
Of hopes of moonlit seas and pretty tomorrow
*
The broken highway laden,
With corpses of spring leaves
Where do you lead?
Toward lost smiles caged behind impregnable bars?
Toward the detritus of crumpled dreams?
Toward the kingdom of sinned deeds?
*
The broken highway of solitary souls
Trodden over by the godforsaken and the scarred
On moonless nights of the dark
Question the forlorn spirits with misplaced hopes,
The house lit by flames,
Have they ever seen?
*
See,
A luminous house glows
At the end of twilight road
Lit by hope and suppressed laughter
Have they ever seen?
The door stays ajar
As the glow of manmade stars
Blandishes the shadows that lurk outside
But daren't enter in
The closer you shall walk
The brighter it shall get
Till the dark of the path
Is destructed by itself
*
The broken highway
Is as broken as you will
Though remember still
The house that glows
At the end of every unlit road.

The star teary sea
by Manahill Naik
That night when the stars crashed up together in the sky
Down below, Crash! Crash! The sea was raging, the tides were high
The stars were bruised and crying...

Catch a glimpse of her
Her honey copper eye
The right side of her butter cup head,...
