Searching for Home!

Always something to run from
Always something to run to
Always a hunger and a thirst
Always a sense of incompletion
Always a hurry to set out
Always a worry to where?
Always the confusion following swiftly
Always the heart feeling a doubt
Always finding a dead-end
Always retreating and venturing again

Always succumbing to laziness
Always falling back into a comfort zone
Always declaring a brand new resolution
Always running after a dream
Always tracing the details of
the dreams that wear out soon
Always an empty hand
Always an empty heart
and a mind full of everything
but nothing to make it smile

Always the past crawling up
Always the nightmares catching up
Always the temptations driving you mad
Always the flirtations of the sweet success
Always the assurance of a hollow life
showing a world full of joy
Always the mirage playing the tricks
and always the poor me falling prey

Always the pretensions of a happy self
masking the self in distraught
Always the Heaven in one’s eyes
soothing the flames of Hell
underneath the feet
Always a promised land in sight,
teasing and mocking the endeavour
of a drowning man of might
Always the journey, stations and destinations, suitcases and bags
Never a place to call, “My Home”
