MY TROUBLED HEART
A heart full of worries
Reeking of sleep - denying nostalgias
When I was happy, it hurts
Where I was unhappy, it hurts more!
A heart besieged by guilt
Guilt of calling the wrong shots
Shots aimlessly fired at myself
When I thought life was unreachable!
A heart hunted by my deserted dreams
Birthed with pain when I heard the call
Of the Muses towering down the Lane of Recall
And afflatus, not blood, flows in my vein
A heart of a leader
Following the leading follower "unleading"
Mighty as a Savannah ant in the foggiest night
Yet, so unnoticeable in the day
A heart brimful of love
Yet hates itself to the full
Neither capable of spreading hate to the world
Nor forgiving its own illegible mark on the sand of time!
