By Neel Anil Panicker
This darkness brings with it a mélange of horrific images
peace is the villain that plays hide and seek with me through ages
the harshness of the present leaves me simply all too aghast
torturous are these years that have bound me in a cast
wonder if I can reprise sepia tinged memories of years past
when laughter and smiles ensured my days were a sheer blast
bewitching were those nights that were spread so vast
when I gazed at the ships that sailed by at full mast
can’t erase such memories of enchanting days yore
I yearn for a time when my life’s float once more turns ashore.
