Exile Poem by Sandeep Mandal

Suffocation intolerable brews
In the deep core of my heart,
Depression profound bewilders
And in dark leaves me shut.

Darkness invincible prevails
In every season of mind,
Worn out inspiration falters
To produce composition sound.

Stumbling blocks persistent
Choke the throat of imagination,
Words devoid of any lyrical bent
Woven together goes in utter vain.

Desire passionate boundless
For writing a piece worthwhile,
Exercise of mind endless
Fails to recover me from exile.
