Gloom Poem by Nosheen Irfan

Gloom

Rating: 5.0


My heart misses something
With the thirst of a dry mouth
As dreams accumulate
In the belly of the day
I find my face looking
More like that of a bird
Longing to pick at the crumbs
Of daydreams

The clouds have been static
Pretending they have no rain
Inside their grey cottony bearing
But when a man goes out
Without an umbrella
A shower comes down with the eye
Of a hunter

The gloom grows more
No more a fledgling
But a cloud of smoke
Left behind by explosives
Gloom is now pure gloom
Like untrimmed shrubs
A home to hibernating insects.

The gray mood og gloon perfectly created thru magnificent metaphors and images reach deep and far! A great poem. not a happy one but very successful in making us participate fully as we gently slide into a somber greyish side.
