Will it dawn ?
Will it set?
Will it work?
Will it bring cheer?
Will it be disappointing?
Queries the pessimist.
The tone of not,
The sound of nay,
The inclination no,
The wish not to,
The expectation must not,
Emanates from the hopeless.
The staggering thought,
The desperate review,
The desolate preview,
The uneasy calm.
The stifling throttle,
The sharp animosity,
Lends a suspicion.
The frozen silence,
The sickening hesitation,
The alarming sentiment,
The trembling fear,
The awkward disgust,
The dizzy nagging,
Renders a pressure.
Living with such inkling,
Harbouring such qualms,
Carrying such defaults
Navigating through such tides,
Negotiating such tricky turns,
Demerits the meaning of life

There’s a song by Nielsen that has the line “you see what you want to see, and you hear what you want to hear”…so too does you poem capture this thought.
I have not come across this particular song. All my poems are reflections of my own experiences. I may sound personal in most of the poems . This ,small canvas in which I hold my sway, offers me solace and comfort.I am more at home here than anywhere else. Thank you once again for your sustained support. meenas17
