My soul by Bharath Upendra

Published by

on

Oh, how I longed for thy touch,

Rot of my soul! In yesteryear’s night,

Tarnished, I slit my wrists to leave a trail 

A ritual thread, a call, a hopeless wail.

That thou might catch my suffocating breath,

And trace the scent of looming death.

Yet there thou art entangled in spells,

Midst skulls and laughter, cursed in wells,

Blind to the nerve-ends, dulled to pain,

Stained with tales writ in vein.

But thou never didst look back,

Not once, to see the dread.

    Great verse. Makes me think written by a Romantic poet from the late 19th century.

    It seems the «thou» was tragically unaware or indifferent to the speaker’s sacrifice.
