Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Couplet

Just Within Reach

Just within reach






Pride that only a procreator can take,
life will cease to exist if else for sake,

Elated I was, to learn of the Cyesis,
recalled then the societal crisis,

A new life was just within me and my reach,
tender emotions were ready to preach,

Soul that hard struggled for reincarnation,
right denied, now rests in salvation,

Few angelic moments and then doors to hell,
close to desire, my real image I couldn't impel !





Written April 16th, 2015
For contest "Just within reach" by John Lawless

Inspired by .....
Agony of an elderly mother who wanted but could not carry her child till birth due to feared embarrassment in society
