ALONE: Poem by Devika Warrier

I grab, I stood-
Thirsting and shivering,
Relying upon the tree
Imagining of the past.

Me alone!
A voice kicks.
Unfortunate I am!
Something featured far in sight.

The three laughed-
The mind, the brain, the heart
But the body cries,
Still in pain.

Looked around and round,
Everything sticks.
Jumping into the slides-
Over the trees.

The foggy mountains,
Confused and guilty.
Almost above the sea,
Crushed the words!

I chose a path-
From the endless one.
Searching and hoping,
For the best in me.

Because I do,
Maybe I being sensitive.
Letting the rumours and gossips
Stand behind waiting!

Not easier to think,
Not to clear, and
Not to open the trash,
But keep doing!

The tiny scars-
Borrowed deep in me,
Ordering and challenging-
The invisible future!
