Poem
Darkness in Her Dungeon
 
 
 
 
 
No morning no bright sun
 
Just nuns all around
 
To recite bright light
 
For my freedom from
 
Fear and feeling off
 
 
 
 
But I would despise
 
In the outside those eyes
 
A black bundle in swirl
 
A hostile world looming
 
All conspiring to harm
 
 
I was hospitalized
 
Vacuum was deeper
 
Medicines and sessions
 
Friendly talk therapy
 
Seemed machinations
 
 
Always a captive in self -cell
 
Morose mind in the tea cup
 
Go back go back to bed
 
The world is your enemy
 
Shouts someone from inside
 
 
Mind always sees gray only
 
Thoughts say nurture them
 
Worms in the pomegranate
 
Flaws in the close friends
 
The bird calling is an ill omen
 
 
Under the skin of things
 
Runs hopelessness
 
Even amidst a crowd of people
 
A haunting helplessness
 
All the leaves shudder
 
 
 
The tree is so alone and hollow
 
It doesn’t provide shadow
 
It avoids sunlight and wind
 
No whisper no rustling
 
Moon is devoid of light
 
 
 
The sadness feeling trickles
 
As days pass it is hemorrhage
 
Stains and pains in tissues
 
I am just worthless to all
 
No point in looking for tomorrow
 
 
None to discuss with and share
 
Whether at home or outside
 
None would like to listen
 
Boredom and despondency
 
Gray after gray after gray
 
 
So even if you think a way out
 
It doesn't work, it's my destiny
 
To disappear into my psycho cell
 
Walls coming closer to me
 
Painful paucity of light making sick
 
 
 
Shadows of nightfall more sombre
 
In the morning as I go out
 
Panic and anxiety send me back
 
To my bed where there is no bed
 
Had there been I would have enjoyed rest
 
 
Nothing brings happiness
 
Crying a lot for what I don’t know
 
Cannot make simple decisions
 
I seek light though
 
None to light a candle I know
 
 
 
Ice in the smiling muscles
 
Nice he is but I am not sure if I love him
 
No advice I like from him
 
My husband, he is at a loss
 
Can anyone shed some light
 
 
 
No I’ll never go out
 
Everybody would point at me
 
The cheat the liar the idiot
 
Unbelievable astonishing
 
This dungeon is very safe
 
 
The other day a doctor
 
Came with a torch
 
He prescribed antidepressants
 
I have been taking
 
I know these are poison
 
 
But I have started brushing my teeth
 
Do have time for a shower
 
Fried potato tasted good last night
 
Still the dungeon calls
 
Will the doctor come again with the torch
 
 
He has asked me to prune
 
The lemon trees in the garden
 
Read the first page of newspaper
 
Write in four lines how I feel
 
He will again direct the torch inside me
 
 
But what for I don’t know
 
Has he found something deep down the throat
 
Will the morning be buoyant tomorrow
 
The doctor says so
 
Do you know
