Overwrought Mind Poem by Nosheen Irfan
Overwrought Mind
Where there was pain
There is only numbness now
You had written pages
But there is only blankness now
Mind no longer feels the heart's ache
Heart no longer seeks the balm
Among the stars, the moon is lost
The eyes crave its sight no more
What was once a delight
A sore it is now
The clouds cried lavishly
But the earth still gasps from thirst
That's the world you see
Through the imagination overwrought
For the vision of the eyes
Is but an offshoot of the brain
The light cannot touch the pupils
When the mind is a dark cell
Where moss grows on the walls
And fear eats away at the heart.
