I call it the philosopher’s stoneThat turned my metallic life to gold
Burning down the memories
With charcoal of miseries.

De-seeding the agony
From this mind,
Refining the delusions
From these sadist eyes,
Rolling down the memory lanes
It looked like
The elixir of life,
That made its way
Through heaven and hell.


Changing visions
Every time
Floating memories
Came in front of eyes
Minutes looked like hours
And hours seemed eternity
Body felt numb
And I desired to fly
Finally my wish
Got an alibi

World looked so small
Emotions even smaller
Love and hate couldn’t be seen
It was an ephemeral beauty.
The light around
Got brighter
As I went a little higher

Finally the blanket of darkness
Was taken over by the light
It was the moment
That finally made me smile
The pain
Seemed like a bliss
And the curse
Of knowledge
Was finally abolished…..
