Nowhere Poem by prasanna kumari

Nowhere



Where should I spread my bed sheet......?
On the left is scorpion and spider
On the right stinking garbage
Beside the window, falling water
Near the doors, stamping feet

In the middle hangs invisible meaninglessness
Near the middle sways saturated nothingness
On the wall leans choking depression
Frozen life sleeps on the floor

Dead yesterdays’ pricking pain
Burning today’s frightening flames
Unborn tomorrows’ wild threatening
Reverberating in the air

Dumb words hit on my head
Creeping revenge blocks my way
Stinging hatred paralyses the heart
Venomous greed slips thro’ the roof
Cold passion permeates around
And secrecy searches a place to hide
Detachment........

Home....
Home....! ! !
Home.......? ? ?

Hypocrisy and pain in life..made visible by good choice of words. Home is not a place external but a world within. Good one Prasanna.
