War..

Amidst the maundering silence

And the lingering darkness..

In delirious dreams..

 The surreptitious silhouettes..

Slowly, creep into the subconscious

Like an infant taking first steps..

I dare not unite my eyelashes

For I fear what awaits..

‘’Behold!’’, commands the heart

Let me cast my enchantment once O archrival brain..

 For the draught of living death works wonders..

Pacifies the turbulent mind..

But ignites the dispassionate soul..

Night befalls, and placates the universe..

And that is when I witness          

The chaotic tussle..

Between two titans..

The unconquerable soul

Versus the invincible mind..

Between logic..

And the blinders of an unwanted emotion..

‘’I win’’, proclaims the heart after awhile

As the mind humbly succumbs..

Only to rise again..
