Words in agony

Quenchless words flap their broken wings

but they fall short every time they try a flight

from the dry, rigid terrain of my brain;

their squeaking beaks pierce holes in my soul

yet their pain remains confined.

Clouds cover my thoughts but it seldom rains.

Instead they languish in travails, I pray they be dead

lying in the deathless embrace of the waiting white sheets.

  1. Don’t make them die intentionally, rather let them fly spreading their wings and crossing through the medium of freedom.

    • Am not a sadist to let them die intentionally. I really cannot help it. Cant tell you my frustration! :(

  2. Left me speechless. Painfully beautiful.

    • Hey Shivya, thanks for the comment. I need lots of lots of em to gather the old heart and write it away :)

  3. Agonizing indeed!

  4. Oh ruthless pecking words!
