GLOOM


Recounting anguished experiences
There was a scary phase
Miles away relationships
are bound to lose their warmth
They bring their bitter share
of insecurities, worries and loneliness
Still, I braved them stoically
I was determined, not to let
anything affect me
I thought may be I was
destined to go through all that
pain, all that anguish......!
I was ridden on misfortunes
The chinks of fear peeped through
but I put up my brave front
I did not flinch at all
I learnt to sip despair coolly
It infested in my heart and
created a desolate corner of
dead feelings
Those dead feelings are preserved
like Mummies in Pyramids
preserved till I die !
