Behind the Closed Door

BEHIND THE CLOSED DOOR Behind the closed door, a brew of brazen pain Like a geyser gushes out, woe-filled teary rain When in midst of all, pretense of happy smile Though in heart flows, sorrow like the Nile Of torture, of torment: tides secret sweep the brain Disloyalty, Dreams demolished and the missed train Blatant scene of none to pull the chain! Leaves us distraught at least for a while Behind the closed door.... Augments our agony, if to all we try to explain Some good is to conceal, like the beetles their death they feign As we walk alone , stronger we grow, in search of safety isle Few miles though turbulent, we 'll learn to reconcile Gather we slowly, inner-strength and lost hope to regain Behind the closed door. ©Copyright Anulaxmi Nayak, 2016
