Pain Poem by Jaya Das

Pain

Rating: 5.0


O lord, I am suffering;
My skin bears no bruise,
Nor do I have a disease,
I am suffering from the ailment of the universe;
From the stillness of the leaves in the blowing wind,
Silence of the cicadas in the spring,
Cry of the drooping sunflower,
Flickering gleam of the stars,
A tiny speck of this mammoth cosmos;
Separately, my being is incomplete,
My eyes roll wherever, my lord,
I can feel nothing but pain.

True beautiful poem. Well thought and well worded. Sheer poetry full of tender senses and melancholy. Thanks for sharing this excellent poem about human tragedy. Poet's pen is more than we think, it can cause revolutions, and deadly wars. Keep writing, dear poetess, your ink is full of precious gems. Regards from across the oceans.
