Soulful Pain
Tears are not guests anymore,
Or have they become unwanted guests?
that bump uninvited.
The dark grey cloud of pain,
also engulfs the soul unexplained.
Pain and tears have a hidden agenda now
Tormenting the soul,
Scrapping out the little life
That is struck somewhere
In the deep dark bossom pit
harnessed to the chariot made
of flesh and blood.
Have promised a smile
Clinging on to the cliff of life
Or else would have drowned into the ferocious tide down there.
But on second thoughts,
Happiness and joy also come as guests,
And never to stay for long.
Pain and tears at least stay on,
as a sentinel on guard.
Cuddling me close,
with a promise to stay forever.
breath stopped,
but the ache lingered on.
