Sinking Boat Poem by Varsha M

Sinking Boat

Rating: 5.0


And that was the very day
When another of charming face made his way

A place known for its seriousness
Transformed into land of hilariousness

Emptiness that was once upon a time
The identity of it for a long time

Suddenly with his very presence
Brought lost souls again alive

He became the heart of ours in time flare
Until one afternoon shifted he for intensive care

None of us to cohere to
What our ears echo

Because of his this joveil liveliness
Difficult was it to accept his fatefulness

That he was here
For weakness to climb stair

Unique was to hear this
To be admit for cause like this

But he was here with this symptom
The rarest Guillian Barre syndrome

Ah! That day muscles of his chest
Kneeled to paralytic rest

Crushing his every second to grapple for breath
Until he was mechanically assisted with

Long was gone the smile on our face
As we heard everyday his failing case

Hope was nullified
Heart was crucified

For we were at verge
To Lose life so intimate.

Thank-you sir for keenly attending to every detail. A poem is only a poet's expression which only a poet can explain well so I write notes to make my difficult poems easy. Thank-you sir.
