The earth once again trembles
the Tibetan plateau now fumbles
the quake is powerful
shatters the equanimity to a doleful
the cries and shouts pierce the ears
buildings big and small crash causing a fear
death looms large all around
the hurt murmur with a sound
heart rending to see the turmoil
the uproots expose the soil
there are big trenches in between
the quake makes one all but too keen
a fear mounts up in a steady motion
thousands die as the plateau remains frozen.
Tag: tremble
The road so broad and long
looked very huge and strong
stood at an end in awe
most apprehensive with a tremble.
Halted for a time there
eyes went almost bare
feared to go ahead though
with one foot on the road.
The dilemma surged in a rave
across to the other side brave
contemplated awhile in fear.
en suite rushed across the lane.
The heart jumped from within
got caught in the midway din
cars honked on either side mad
feet trembled in a distinct shiver sad.
The drivers shouted in bridling anger
cursed me in a note of stammer
scared I made way to the opposite
unmindful of the swear and scream.
This way it could be an instance
the road is a semblance
of life in a wholesome pretence
this being an appraisal of a defence.
As such cross of the road is easy
be it accompanied by anything not dizzy
so much so with the life characteristic
be it engrossed with a serious outlook.
