Newness of Anything Scares - by Kaniamudhu Shanmugam

I burst and pour out my heart in profuse strains

Someone somewhere reads and reacts

They bring their empathy like dews on withered rose petals

Untouched I pass

I loathe and yearn for someone special to embrace me in their fold enticing

I wait like a winter tree hoping for Spring to come

I pine and long for someone close to my soul to extend their tender hands and wipe my tears.


World is wider

But fear is mightier

Newness of anything scares

Fearing new and strange visitors I shun my windows

Yet keep my thresholds ajar and crave for real love to knock it like a

gentle breeze.
