Poetry

2002
Priya Kapoor, Age unknown
Place unknown
An ode to you
Tears trickled down,
Drenching the depths of my heart;
To wash all that you had bestowed upon me.
Oh! Their incessantly continuous indefatigable efforts.

The wound within me bled.
It shoved itself open to divulge the angst within me.
Fiercely yet swiftly it bled.

Arose the vortex, the torrent underneath.
The ordeal designed the dance; agony timed it.
The mayhem subsided.
My soul breathed its last,
The body subsisted.
I had lived with you.
Today I exist.

Misery.
It too wailed.
