At a Traffic Jam
At a Traffic Jam
Amid the worst traffic jam
Everyone I glance at is sombre
Why the faces shed so gloom ?
Like ogress, the red light looks
It's not that I don't boil
I am caught in "why" arose in me.
Hard days ever trouble me
Thorns prick and pierce my heart
I stumble upon hard rocks
Frowns make me uneasy
My ears slaves to dulcet tones
I escape from storms in me
Suave when in my canoe
Waters take a violent turn
When my heart beats in bliss
My mind erupts in a rage
Everything that looks agile
Why turns weak and pale ?
Baking into fire like a pot
Have to endure some more time
Atop a pinnacle with ease
So fracid yet raw in love
The Orchard oozes odor
Warns of the gorge's paws
To embrace life with storms
I curve out surface to move on
Life is not what I crave to see
It isn't my pleasant thoughts
Beauty isn't some bright charms
But peace won from turmoil
Wonder what worth they are !
Words that broke my heart
Smiles turn into eruptions
Wait for the bewitching eyes
When I stay, someone sails
I have to only rein my mind in
