In The Shadow Of Love Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

Swollen eyelashes
Broken hopes
Torn lips with splotches
Of dry blood and ugly nights
Naked dance presages uncertainty;
The humiliation inflicted by
Conditioned truth descends
As an ominous owl upon
The barren roof of a dying soul;
Chaffs and corns are reflected
In the dull parting of a grove
Of untended hair;
Masked mind rues the omen
Of a lost philanthropist;
Shine of gold often traduces
The austerity of a lotus;
Silent cloud of apprehension
Simpers winking through
Fallen vestibule of a domain
Being raised with trust and love.
