The Fading Breathe

Day-26 OctPoWriMo-2018
Prompt: Inside Out (Form: Sonnet)






Image: Sneha

Faking, the plethora of emotions,
Lots of water has flown under the bridge,
The dirge of thoughts chase the hidden motions,
The phantoms of the past advance and merge.

A venomous labyrinthine serpent,
Arousing the darkness and nothing seen;
Guilt, sadness, desire, fate echo the chant,
Weeps in aching silence, the shriveled spleen.

The smell of soil beckons, the rusted flesh,
A fathomless, unquenchable life feel,
Whispering winds, the wheels of fate unleash,
On a deadening stench of burning peel.

The brewing storms, uncover the charade-
No time to introspect, the ongoing parade.

  1. I have had days like this. After my father died, there was much left unsaid and much that couldn't be said. He had vascular dementia at the time of his death so there would have been no sense saying certain things. However, before his dementia developed, he wouldn't have listened. He always had to have the last word.
    Similarly, I'd like to clear the air with my mother, but she won't listen. She'll jump to the defensive straightaway. When she passes, I will have the same remorse and everything will remain unsaid.
