ANGUISH

Hushed into a  self 

estranged by unkind words

I repeal all desires that sadly recoil

Into a cocoon where

The larva reels under a shock

Of  birth uncertain

Pushing the butterfly of its dream

To a future so uncertain

Where anguish gathers momentum

In form of smokes

Rising from burns in breast of the sky

Without any words of light about all why

Of this emptiness at the core

That stings life in each and every pore

And  with an unutterable cry

Upwards my pains do soar

To melt into the vast blue

Beneath  Heaven’s colorful door !!!
