An Ode To The Knee

Degeneration eh!

A slight slip,

A small misstep,

A little twist,

Damaged my knee.

A splitting pain,

A severe ache,

A terrible strain,

Limits my knee.

A complex status,

A decrying tedium

A reduced movement,

Hampers my knee.

A constant effort,

A synchronised device,

A tolerant attitude,

Has to pull my knee.

Stroking my knee gently

Caressing my knee fondly

Massaging my knee carefully

I endure the pain tearfully.

Getting up at 2 in the morningbrooding over the day’s events. I sense a dull pain in the legs symptomatic of restless leg syndrome. Straighten and twist the leg that most hurts. At times let out a sob. An hour passes the clock strikes 3 and then 4, Listening to the tick tock I stare in the dark, Silence unfolds. o

It Is Called Life February 20, 2021

It is been a contradiction a meaningless one, just being with each other creates a frustration bringing a dissatisfaction. Tempers rise up with tempestuous acceleration books fly, cups dash on the wall,throwing tantrums at each other the couple swear not to see each other. Like the dew the controversy vanishes in the morning.The day dawns, off each goe […]

Day In And Day Out February 18, 2021

the phrase hooks me.Right from school, where my teachers sighing used to say day in and day out we tried our best. That keeps ringing in my ears as does the school bellmanually operated by Krishna, the onewho was assigned to pull the long rope. Another synonymous delivery is that of the temple bell which strikes to the accompaniment of “Om, Om, ” , The soun […]
