Paths untrodden,
winding ceaseless:
memories one or two crushed here and there
hue-less dry leaves in mind,
ambiguous fragrance,
wind kissed blossoms
never in full bloom!
an idle dawn
rosary behind the door,
prayers unanswered
cold nights-
curled into warm blankets
perturbed sleep,
passionate snoring,
smell of wood and varnish
nasal infections
coughing laughs. .
double images in mirror:
envy with fear
lingering of multiple hopes
anguish reins supreme!
one question and
too many answers
confusions of choice.
an abyss in the dark-
broken words, emotions
pain unexpressed
intermittent subdued cries;
a birth here and a death there..
interplay of souls!
I’m pregnant with fragmented reverie:
my senses fail to comprehend sense and time,
put me into the realm of silence
let me lie there dormant, dormant,
my eyes wide open with slumberless dreams…
