Lamentations

Happiness escaped between the fingers

Drifted away in anguish over uncertain emotions

Sweet reminders and loving gestures neglected

‘Once upon a time…’ felt reassuring in fairy tales

With ultimate disdain and of cradles fury

There is that instinct to curse good moments

Shameful passion burns incorrigibly

That lamentation is weak in dealing with life

Brewed unhappiness colour tears with anguish

Lifeless course plots the journey ahead

Parched lands and severity torment the soul

~Amitav
