Million chapters have been written to the final stop,
Packed up with comforts and regrets,
Yet there stands one that lingers and lurks,
Full of question marks polished with dusted sand.
They creep closely when the silence infestation breaks out,
Join the hurtful balloons as they come bursting in my face,
Yet devoid of any consolation to this starching pain.
The knell chimes because she’s intelligent enough.
No trees dance gracefully at the source of the lake.
The soothing breeze kidnapped by suffocating summer droughts.
The air, the water, vacuum-pumped
And trudging in a stupor amidst this hell was I.
The pieces didn’t fit; a jigsaw puzzle in a made-up tale.
I watched too many tears intensify and began to count my sums.
Inaccuracy became my nemesis on a land of sharks,
For I hadn’t a calculator’s aid to get the answers right.
The river’s course has meandered to a spiral route,
With me standing at its earnest end
And I can merely rest my eyes upon this maze,
Viewing life’s defects thoroughly knowing of its steady shape…
Author notes
I've had this one very dark chapter and as I look upon it and the world I realise that life really does have a steady shape because we're always facing hurdles, albeit the stops in between.
