Last night I cut away a part of me
That I may face the morrow
I washed the blood off so none would know
Then how did the morn dawn drenched??

Shail's Nest
Where fingers tap dance…
Last night I cut away a part of me
That I may face the morrow
I washed the blood off so none would know
Then how did the morn dawn drenched??
- Shail Mohan (March 2009)
It is often the flood
of that colourless blood
which we call silent tears
that will dissolve all our fears
Me:
Smiles they want not tears
And what’s mine is only fears
As I contain the flood
Of that colorless blood.

When Pain is held within
.. Beautifully done Dear Shailji.
And tears stay in unseen pots
Nature decides it needs to cry
And Rain drenches the Dawn.
Me:
Laden clouds weighed down
Await the Western Wind to blow
Without its caressing touch
How can the tears flow??
Thanks Rashmi!
Little do we realize that the morn dawn is just a lighter version, an extrapolation, an alter-ego of the night…
