Is it too much to ask
For undiluted bliss?
Is it impossible to ignore
This nagging frustration
That life is a loop of slumber?
Flighty, restless, long night
Spent in morbid anticipation
Bad dreams…
Tarnished thoughts...
Unknown fate.
Awaits….
Behind the walls of awakening
Is it wrong to blink?
To drown into the mattress
Wake up in the morning
Without a trace of memory
Of what had been?
Regrets, failures, shame
Nothing...
Blank page…
Then we start anew…
What if we lose memories?
Does it erase the truth?
Do we become immaculate
Newborn babies?
Maybe…
What can we be but frail?
We are human after all
Humanity is fragile
We are breakable inside
And outside…
Weakness is strength
Isn't it…?
A perfect reason for redemption
Because it's true...
It's not easy being weak
It's not difficult either
We are what we are
Humans striving
Weaklings surviving
People living
Lovers loving
Children dreaming
Then as we grow
Older and wiser
Blissful we become
Nodding heads in surety
That we are close
Very close to leaving
Firm in believing
The end is not the end
It's only the beginning
Of a blissful forever
If only ….

Just an attempt to let the thoughts flow where they may. It ended up exactly like the title of this book: Poetic Rant. Not sure of the 'poetic' part though. What do you think? :D
