Rejection

Rejected 


Like a blackball 
in the ballot box,
I lie silently 
since dejected in love,
Not desirous of 
breathing fresh air,
Neither wanting 
any rock or roll,
Nor counting 
on the kicking toll,
Unfortunate having 
lost my love,

Passion denied 
by destiny,
Dropped me 
taking a dead fish,
Casted me away
As spoiled milk,

Send some scents 
of the recent past,
That could neutralise 
the sarcasm,
Else standing at middle
Of whirlpool,
drowning deep,
Rejection could be
A lethal tool,
Embrace the rejected back
To head and heart !
