the trilogy
Sinnitus
The devil's bells toll. Raucously ringing. Lacrimosa dies illa. The requiems of purity resonate. Piercing bells. Spiralling us into the pits of insanity. Remorse, guilt, the guilt of the white lies, the guilt of being oneself. We owe each other a lot. Paap, dand. Laalach ke meethe phal ka nateeja. We've always dreamt of drifting around in Asmodeus' orgy to Lucifer's stage of pride. The carmine wine we revelled in, consumed us into gluttony. Sisyphus is a part of us. Nirdosh ke dosh dikh gaye. Unknowingly. The devil's bells toll louder. Incessantly.
be quiet and drive far away
When the night has come, and the land is dark. I dress myself in the devil's robe. Taxi driver, drive me far away. Away from this hellish 'heaven' they call earth. Leave the meter running, unto we reach another universe. The universe of pleasurable indulgence. Angostura bitters. Why sorry when there's Hennessy? We cruise through every universe. I sold my soul to the demons. They embraces and coddled me unlike any other. It's too bad, I've lost myself in the moment. Aadat se majboor. Niyamit paapi. I got another life that drowns the blues away. Privilege.
harmageddon
He smokes in the face of adversity. All his friends frolicked while he gazed out the balcony. Both ends crushed him like the cigarette pressed between his index and middle. The Marlboros broke on the other end. Broken cigs for a broken young man. Tooti hui khwahisein. He warched them bloom, eternally heavenly beings. He wished he could set them ablaze. Tanhai aur irshya ussey kha jate. He was about to burn himself, all to feel alive. Life without life. Aphradh ka yagya. He promises himself he would stop smoking. Smoking in the face of adversity, when the pills don't help. As if all worries could dissipate in smoke. Dhuein ka jaadu.
(harmageddon) Yeh mere bare mei hai?
