POEM

 

#A Tale of torments #


An old tale, told yet anew.i

not a common fable, but evergreen.

an account of suffering and agony,

the misgivings of reality,

a fading concept, subjected to inquiry.

what in the goofy universe is this joke?

torture inflicting scalding injury

breeding contempt, dissatisfaction

brewed in a heart of several failed attempts unfulfilled.

it's all about anguish and misery.

a time of lost glory

mental and physical meltdown.

the city and the man.

he's losing the fight to the world

To sink beneath, below

into the shadowy land of despair.

is this city the enemy or am I?

the wrestle with the unknown.

sorrow and grief cleave like a garment

what a loop of torments.

this is not a fable of carefully selected events.

but a known tale, perhaps a coincidence

in the seemly face of a clue

disappointment stains, disdain' s hue

the colour of the lowly, a sad loser

going through a phase of torments.
