Impiety

The darkness around the heart surges
          Engulfing the brightness and then belches,
         Twisting the facelines in its wake
         And narrowing the mind on its take.

           Melancholy at me winks;
           For the sadness on my heart blinks
          Depriving the mind of its right
         And the eyes surrenders without a fight.

         The melody now fails to entice the mind.
         For my willpower isn't mine.
          Such is me in entirety
         When she at me rants with impiety.
                                                     T.M Tanjang
