We Are Here For You

#1 Post by meenas17 » 29 Aug 2019, 14:29

Reluctant with myself
a tinge of abhorrence
intensifies.

I set aside the chores,
a mood of contemplation,
is on the anvil

Of late, I go into moods
unknowing I succumb
to exasperation.

Fresh milk curdles,
food turns stale.
I lie awake.

Doors remain closed
curtains are drawn
days turn dark.

Hours pass. I recline
in my bed gazing
at the roof.

Rise up to a harsh
knock on the windows,
with a struggle.

Pull the curtains
find it is the wind,
while about to pull back,

I could not withdraw
from seeing the
garden.

The yellow rose
puts up a warm smile,
the red poppies nod affably

white lilies beckon with grace
the huge Neem tree
bows in obeisance,

all of them seem to say
" we are here
for you."
