Magnum Opus

The City Of Dreams.

Peace in motion.

Motionless chaos.

Loneliness amongst a crowd.

Crowded with loners.

Rain in a desert.

Fire in the sea.

A god among atheists.

A dying man among gods.

The dance within mourning.

The mournings of dance.

Stationary on wheels.

Going nowhere.

A star within the haze.

Blinded by the stars.

People on the roads.

Cars on the pavements.

The underworld resides in the high-rises.

The high-rises go underground.

Stolen diamonds ride on purchased necks.

Breathing to live.

Dying to breathe.

The sea on your bodies.

Bodies in the sea.

Hush Puppies in puddles of mud.

Dance like no one's looking.

The glitter in those sunken eyes.

A smile on those hungry lips.

Fast life.

Slow death.

Temples amidst graveyards.

Graveyards amidst temples.

Celebrating to starve.

Starving to celebrate.

Saplings within acid.

The poison in your blood.

Flight of dreams.

Chained to hope.

A virgin among whores.

The goddess among devils.

Heartwarming smiles.

Botoxed faces.

Love lost.

Lost love.

Denial.

Hope.

Death within life.

Life within death.

To Bombay, with love.

I'd been playing around with it for quite some time. Finally, had the guts to put it down.

After all, it's Bombay. :)
