Dark Mornings, Sunlit nights

4046226598_a582554060_z

As the sunlight shines through the sky, night falls.

She would open her big black eyes with no eye-lashes and try to listen closely to the mesmerizing music of ear-piercing cries. It soothes the grayish red stone in her chest.

She balances her heavy sobs with the rhythm of pain stricken shrieks that originate from her drumming heart and reflects through her eyes while flowing through her veins. Oh the melodious song that forms, so dramatic.

Her soul, a black shade of white light, punches the walls of body around it so hard that it cracks open and let it out to dance with the music of pain. The music of pain laughs out loud at the soul and holds it in it’s arms while whirling round and round like a dervish.

Vanished hopes, unheard prayers, unfulfilled wishes and broken dreams tightens their orbit and grabs her throat. The music of pain inside her starts evacuating itself through her mouth which she covers tightly with her own crooked hands.

Hours pass as she tries to fight this battle. She could feel poisonous snakes biting her face with sharp teeth. She smiles with fear, as she is tired of crying already.

Her heavy eye-lids start dropping down. It is dark outside when sleep blankets her. Morning’s here.

She looks Beautiful while sleeping. She is Happy… Yes she is.

    She is obviously very happy!
    Lalarukh, I want you to know this piece is stunning, in ref to how it tears one away. Pain screams.
    But also how pain forms the divine ecstasy, as if it was a spiritual element, and that gives a whole new look to it. ‘like a dervish, and how it dances, and the music of pain!’
    These lines couldn’t have been better said: “Vanished hopes, unheard prayers, unfulfilled wishes and broken dreams tightens their orbit and grabs her throat. The music of pain inside her starts evacuating itself through her mouth which she covers tightly with her own crooked hands.”
    I love you.
    Also, I wish you all the best in your life.
    May you find peace, it’s prettier than pain insha Allah.

    • “pain forms the divine ecstasy” Wow Maria, I wonder how you awesome writers can make any simple piece of writing all so special and wonderful. I love you.

  2. This is a brilliant stuff, Lala. Way you delivered all the darkness in a form of light, flares and soft moments… This is outstanding…! From start to end I was thoroughly engaged in spite of feeling that it’s a tragedy… but as it was being told from a such an ethereal point of view, it kept pulling quite like a black hole in space, and I am passing commit… 🙂 And the way it ended… a great ending indeed. How wonderful to have some actual light/ happiness eventually even while knowing that it has come at the verge, where it could be so many things, it may be a new day actually or it may be a surface of another dream…
    I loved this too much, see… 🙂

    • Wow, Ali. You just made me feel special. Thank you for such a lovely detailed analysis. It wasn’t a tragedy, you are right. “it may be a new day actually or it may be a surface of another dream” wow what a perspective. I admit, I never thought of it this way. But now that you have pointed out, I feel really special to have written all that.
      Thank you so very much. I write because I have people like you here with me. You are my inspiration. I love you and I can never thank you enough for all this love.
      Thank you. Really.

    • Thank you so very very much my friend, for your appreciation feels so nice to me really. Whenever I write a post, with out your comment, it remains incomplete. Thanks again !
      And yes, of course I remember that time too. When I had a site decorated with multicolored curtains. And you guys were there to help me through life. To read every stupid thing I wrote and to praise like I wrote a gem. You guys helped me a lot. And I can never forget that.
      Love you for your support ! Always and forever !

  5. Wow Lala. You have a gift. Your writing is engaging and eloquent. This is a deep and strong story.
    I’m thinking it’s not based on personal experience, as you seem to be well and happy.
    It’s sooooo great to see you here again on WordPress.
    By the way, are you enjoying England? Do you ever get homesick?
    Many hugs and blessings sweetie.
    🙂 ❤

    • Thank you SO much for liking my writing. Means a lot ! No, not a personal experience but yes you know, a mix of reality and fiction.
      I sure enjoy the life in England. I am back in Pakistan these days for a vacation and it’s so hot here 🙂 How’s the weather on your side ? And where do you live ? I wonder why did I never ask that before 😛
      Many tight hugs to you too love. Hope you are having a fabulous day !

      • You are more than welcome Lala. I’ve always thought you are an amazing writer.
        Oh wow, you’re in Pakistan. That must be so nice to visit your family and country. I would love to go back to my country to see my family for Christmas this year, but It’ll have to wait until next year. I am originally from Canada (Vancouver), but have been living in Brazil for over 13 years now. It’s definitely a warm country. I live in an area that gets cool during winter, but hot the rest of the year.
        Big hugs to you sweetie, and please have an amazing vacation in Pakistan.
        🙂 ❤

Please share your thoughts, I value them !
