The Hills Have Eyes!


I am on my bed and I hear a sound.
It has come from far, maybe from the ground.
I sit up- scared- thinking what to do.
It is cold, but I climb down and put on my shoe.

I open the door and climb down the stairs.
I hear the windows rattle, it scares all my layers.
My moment stops, my heart beats rapidly.
Though I am a coward, I want to know the reality.

I hear the sound again. I have decided to find the source.
My body is sweating; sweat oozing out from all my pores.
Everything is quiet again. Now it's just my feet banging the wooden floor.
Something catch my ears! Oh! It's just a dog's snore.

Now I am out of my home, and it's very cold.
The full moon is shining brightly and the stars are bold.
Ah! I hear it again, it has come from miles away.
The hills have eyes! They are staring in my way.

I look at the hills carefully and I see huge bulgy eyes.
Suddenly there is a noise; it's a hyena's cries.
I am stiff, I need aid, but I am all alone.
I am walking toward the hills, my home has long back gone.

I can sense the evil, but there is a warrior inside me.
What! I can see the hills blinking, looking at me!
Is this a hallucination, or is it real?
My vision gets blurred and nothing can I feel.

The trees around me have vanished, there's only grass.
The wind blows harder and it sounds like a rhythmic bass.
The hills have eyes, and I can not believe it.
There is no source of light now, and the darkness is neat.

I look up at the sky. It has turned pitch black.
This is the sign of demon; I take a step back.
There are thousands of questions in my mind, and I am bewildered.
I can see the demon now. This is totally absurd.

He is walking so perfectly, approaching me.
Hey! Wait! Where am I? This is not meant to be.
Now he is at an inch apart from my position.
He is reading my mind, now he is showing some projection.

I can see death, then what? That is me in the woods.
There are many demons around me, taking off their hoods.
The hills have eyes, I remember them, and everything vanishes.
Oh my holy spirit! where am I? I get up and my body shakes.

It was just a dream, but a rare one.
It was so haunting, a bare one.
I am relieved that it was just an imagination.
The hills have eyes! I can not forget them; they are my salvation.

Where do I belong?

Where do I belong? The time has long gone by. I am isolated, sitting here; Hoping that I will get some company Darkness is all around me. I’m hoping a light to appear Which will lead me out. This place is very dreadful. But, then, how did I end up here? Why am I caged here so lifelessly? I neither feel hungry nor thirsty. I just want to escape, as fast as possible. The last thing I remember: I was holding your hands And we were lying on the grass. And then I closed my eyes. I open my eyes and find you Looking deeply in me. You look so fascinating. And then your smile- It’s breathtaking. Now I realise, it is beside you Where I belong, where I stay. It was you whom I missed. It is you who is my light of freedom. I realise that I cannot live without you, Even when I am dreaming deeply. I need you with me every time, every second. Keep holding my hands and I promise to stay forever.

The day you will be mine.

The day you will be mine. The moon will rise, and it will shine. My thoughts will change and so will my life. I want nothing else, you will be suffice. The wind will become tender. I'll be out of every danger. For me, everything will be clear.  For me, you will be very near. The whole day i think about you. Hoping you will appear, suddenly, out of the blue. The memory of your face enlightens everything i see. The day you will stand in front, I will bend my knee.  The beauty of nature is very similar to your's.  To make you a part of me, my every cell roars. I'll be at ease, even if you be far away. Seeing you coming towards me, my body will sway.  When you'll come to me, I will bend down. I will open my mouth, will see your gown. I will ask you to marry me and then will wait. Nervous at the situation, my body will sweat. You'll give an assuring smile. Because you love me too, and everything else is futile. Then...

I have changed.

I have changed. I have transfigured, actually, but in a bad way. I may seem gentle to people at present, but I was far more kind and polite in the past. Change is inevitable, I know that. But the change which I find in myself is weird.     I was a silent boy who was far away from any form of nuisance. I was the first one to lend a helping hand. I used to talk less, talk sense. Now I speak unnecessarily. Now, I have become selfish. I think before helping anyone, a thing which lacked in me before.     This change is an imperil for me. It is destroying me from inside. I want to change again, be like what I was a few years back, but I'm bewildered whether I will be able to regain my tenderness, my sweetness.     People think I am a very good person. If they really mean that, then of this I am sure: I was the best of me in the past and I want to relieve like that now. I miss those days when everyone around me seemed to be nice, everything seemed to be fine. ...
