Intrigued.

I find myself at peace

Engulfed in the brief darkness that envelopes,

As I switch off all the lights to go out;

Before I open the door.

 

I search for myself in the memories

The epitome of purity as a child,

When I lay alone with a story book ;

Blissfully oblivious of my future.

 

I experience only myself within me

As sleep engulfs all my worries,

As I lay aside my work;

Letting sleep kiss my closed eyelids.

 

I marvel at my chaste smile

As my little brother runs up to me,

And takes my hand lovingly, unaware of

The turmoil that has left me restless for days.

 

I marvel at my vivacity

When all my friends come up to my place,

And I strive to meet all their needs;

And entertain them at my best.

 

I revere at my sense of respect

When the old grandma blesses me everyday,

As I touch her feet and she places her hand on my head;

Before setting out for the weary day at college.

 

I wonder at the transparency of my tears

As didi’s memories suddenly engulf me at midnights,

Causing a steady stream of restless tears;

Searching for her amidst this wilderness.

 

I tremble as I loathe myself

The sweet memories that tarnished my innocence,

Snatched away my dear sister.

Amazed as I still perceive glimpses of me,

Which I thought was lost forever;

Amidst this intricate shadow left of myself.

 

 

My sems have ultimately finished. :)
