Obtuse Poem by Neethi (10 Aug 1990)

Obtuse

Rating: 5.0


The quill occupies
a quivering hand,
animates my thoughts.
Justice not done.

A distended heart cries,
to you it sounds
like another sound, .
The melancholy, unheard.

Each time you slip,
off your contour,
I blush.
A weakness disclosed.

Memories, soured
by stipulations,
you struggle to forget,
Wounds re-exposed.

For the unattainable,
I try,
And never tire,
Perseverance assessed.

My pain, never shared,
scrutinized by
your reproachful eyes,
Condolence missed!

Day by day,
I age.
The dead parts wither.
I wait.

Wait for the tears to taste sweet.

It is very difficult to understand things, to be remembered or to be forgotten. Obtuseness is very painful too. The poem deserves 10/10. Best Wishes Naseer

Memories, soured by stipulations, you struggle to forget, Wounds re-exposed.................... What else does it require to convey your own inner self in such a appropriate way. Well done. God bless you
