All that the Broken Heart wantsA Poem by Mrinalini R
Done with shrill cries, stirring wails,
The heart, The desultory dreamer, chases a pause Enough has it had, of sterile trials of survival Flee where will it, from itself?Elude what will it? It's own tale? It's woe, it's rue, it's ruin aren't outlying islands They are the very waters of its ocean, detours being mirages Ought to exist they-- traumas unforgotten , wounds unhealed, The tired, broken heart is willing to let questions be unanswered Entangled in clasped knots, the suffocated heart pleads mercy Let it live! Let it beat! Let it exist -- to his liking Sunk, wrecked, decimated , the heart promises To recoil within itself, to offer the perfect silence Agreeing to the terms of fate, all it wants Is solitude -- an epoch of solitude! © 2017 Mrinalini R |
