Essence of Lost Breath by Priyanka Banerjee
Priyanka Banerjee writes of love within a patriarchal society and how concepts of domination influence one’s self image from women.
Lost breath, one tale of nostalgic love.
She Speaks up truth defying the Dullness of the prison house of untruth.
Her womb resists anarchy through love that subverts fake dreams !
Dreamers never scream
And they can be warriors too.
They woo
Stolen moments that give birth to the Solemn oath of togetherness.
The journey begins from the Decentred, vanished paradise.
Let us alter the rotten moments for the sake of a new rise.
Break the bias !
Liars can’t betray true hearts.
Lustrous eyes of shrewd lovers play with dead souls.
They steal God’s thoughts from the Collapsing paradise,
That unfolds
Tales of lost innocence.
Justice should be meted out to the vagrant and the insane,
Though big, black boots silence
Them amidst midnight darkness.
Thoughts overpower
Macabre thoughts of lost identity.
Splits can’t be measured up by the Pure woman’s savage deity !
Nocturnal whispers triumph over sound of the last breath.
Kisses recreate a new tale out of the deadly myth
Of beastly instinct.
You touch my blue, still pool with a cunning smile;
Yet I tremble not.
Streaks of light appear;
You fail to steal
The categorised woman’s freezing impulse.
Purgation uplifts a pregnant woman Experiencing mysterious epiphany!
Nirvana is for one and not for many
Lost souls-
I bleed;
yet I wait for a dramatic shift.
Do you know how nostalgia overpower me when I secretly dream Of our lost breath?
