FLOODY PILLOW
Fearful echoes tore the dawn,
Dawn to dusk rained all torments,
Tortured as if sinned like Satan;
Delicate One destined to rain, as
Pure dew drops trickled always.
Voices, murmers, flows with jealousy, when
Illegal laws fluttered faster like an albatross.
Shattered sleepy One lost desirable dreams,
Rumours twisted with human tongues;
Death penalty heaved a heavy sigh, as
Struggle ravished harsh and strong.
Hide, hiding, hidden till then,
Flared the phoenix, brighter than a star, leaving
Tremors of destruction all along,
Until at last, laid to rest, Leaving a floody pillow, Alone to mourn.
