A Headlong Plunge Poem by Valsa George

A Headlong Plunge

Rating: 5.0


Swaddled in frozen silence
In a weather so dolorous and damp
The pores of her mind sweat painful memories
Which take a headlong flight
Faster than the beams of light

At times shaking their fearful manes
As unbridled steeds, they come
Raising dust behind
Making all sanity blurred.
Often they rise from their indulgent stupor
And spill over, submerging all extant thoughts

They never care to stand in queue
Jostling each other with no manners
They bump on one another, breaking all decorum
Like an unruly mob on impatient wait

Caught in the vortex of a whirling current
Her poor body begins to lose its equilibrium
And she plunges into an abysmal pit
To be choked there in whirling gloom!

If one falls into the whirlpool of depression, it is really very difficult to come out. One strong support can do much. Unfortunately that support may be responsible for all this. Its not sure where this depression will lead too. Beautiful write Valsa. This poem took me far away.. Loved it.

Comparing an apparent bout of depression with other happenings and depicts how hurtful this condition can be. It is like a whirlpool that sucks us in where one can feel that he or she may never rise out of. One has to persevere. A good write this is!

A dolorous mood and the painful memories....the heavy perplexity of the mind is sometimes likely to result in delirious as well as dangerous act...no wonder " she plunges into an abysmal pit To be choked there in whirling gloom! " ....A well thought out work Valsa...10++++

If someone is asleep or not completely awaken the memories become an in-disciplined crowd. Some times these memories are mixed in the sub-conscious grinder and a very abnormal shake is prepared. Some times it is furious and sometimes it is funny.
