Sweeping SorrowA Poem by Anu BiswasCaught in relentless dance of your will against mine Endless years roll by fragmented by sullen space and wounded time Your reticence thrown careless like discarded shoes on polished floor Reflecting our lives in future wearily unsure Like strangers we drift in and out Of rooms that mist and fog in clouds of seething doubt A haze so heavy; visions blur in lingering anxiety Walls like fortresses of a cowardly king; queen gets all, gets nothing I come to you for answers, you come to my bed Comfort in neither, prayers a long time shed Face the world duty tightly bound; my existence a mileu of discordant sound that traps tiny voices dancing in my numbed soul Drowning your silence in contempt untold Demons claim my yesterday, today and tomorrow Our lives plunge in sweeping sorrow
