Similes and metaphors

Rhyme and rhythm

Do not  belong 

In the legacy of daily struggles.

The existence goes through

A Damocles sword.

The raw tenderness,

The trapped emotions

The shattered dreams

The aching wounds 

The everyday drudgery

Pushes the boundaries.

It is then, words buried deep,

Surface, when the flowers bloom,

When the evenings glow 

Like a vulnerable bride,

When the sweet melody of a Koel

Heals an endless solitude.

Words are an escape route

A catharsis to cleanse the soul

An unspoken bond,

A friendship for life...
