Alive




Not all days are the same.

Drifted by the fierce winds

 cold fumes rose from

the rusted memories

painted in burnt umber,

and covered the harmonious pasture.
 

Lingering between

dream and nightmare

Some thoughts slip
in the quiet
and do this to me.

Was it a dream,
Or a fake reality?
 
I woke up today with moist eyes.

It still makes me feel...

Alive..!

  2. You should feel proud that your mind still resonates with others' pain , others' pleasure.
    Poet is the most responsible member of the society and his/hers poems should empathise with others.
