A jar of delicious cookies

The Last cookie

 

I still remember,
The December embers,
The arctic atmosphere,
And my ashen skin,
Both of them met,
Early in the morning.
 
I was awfully exhausted,
But I still grin.
Toil after toil,
Trouble after trouble,
My job was hard,
A jar of cookies,
Was my ultimate reward.
 
I was traumatized,
I can’t believe my eyes,
Lost for words;
I know the cookies are dulcet,
But are not enough to pay,
For my blood and sweat.
 
I was outraged,
A pungent aroma,
Crammed my nostrils…
Till it reached my heart,
And filled it with saccharine.
 
The jar eyed me,
I fingered the jar,
It appeared to be enchanted,
I was anxious to open it,
As if it was treasure.
 
With a gentle measure,
I lift the jar,
Opened the lid,
Something rushed out,
As if a charm revealed,
A pleasant odour,
Embraced my nostrils.
 
Unwillingly my fingers reached out,
And grabbed a crunchy cookie,
I can feel the expedient ingredients,
In my hands,
I took a bite,
It filled my heart,
With immense delight.
 
Questions raised in my mind,
Where it was baked?
I believed in the fairyland,
Or maybe in the wizarding world?
Because it was seductive,
I became an addict,
My hands reached out,
Again and again,
While I crunched and bit.
 
All was lost,
The last cookie remained,
While eyeing it,
I felt asleep.
 
I saw a familiar silhouette,
Taking the last piece,
Because when I waked,
The jar was all empty,
Once again I was outraged,
But I don’t know why?

We were restless under a red sky, As every instance took away our breath, With every tick our hopes would die, that life was chasing our death. But life was holding on for life, On the sharp edge of a blunt knife! Birth was a curse and so was living, Unborn hawks were unborn slaves, When life was meant only giving, And our muddy fortresses were open graves; Upon which...

A Bird In A Cage

A Bird In A Cage   Every dawn, My damp eyes open wide.   Would this be the day, I will be able to born a flight? Will this be the day, I waited for day and night?   Without a hesitation, I can mention, Their spiteful intentions. Perhaps they want me, To sing sweet songs, As long as, A never ending marathon.   I know, I was born to glow, Destined to sing sweet songs, But for real, I do not belong, To a steel made home, Suffering here all alone.   All my fears, All my tears, Living in my nightmares, It is not fair, I can’t bear.   They say; My fascinating features, Especially my vivid feathers, Make them blissful.   Why don’t they set me free, So they can see, What I actually meant to be, Flying up high in the sky.   All is lost, But I still hope; What-if they set me free, So I can flee, To the wild unseen.
