A widow's day and night


Poetry touches everything in life...Varma





A Widow’s day and night


Time fell from her
Like her falling hair

Her tears had the heat of years
Her sleep was full of dreams

She woke up with hopes
That evaporated during day

Only to rain down in night
With a little lighted lamp before her

She lived on her fractured dreams
Playing on her chords of memories

She fought her silent war
Against the fading shadow world

She always felt like a warrior
And knew there was a war to win
And a fire within her to be put out
A thirst to be quenched slow or fast
