A Tormentor...

 

                                           On the agonized path of

                                           my deserted life

                                           a lurching stride 

                                           took me to a poignancy

                                           where I coaxed to my pains

                                           but they rebuffed

                                           they wanted me to be

                                           with the same somber nights

                                           and a false aura of love,

                                           Where those pipe dreams

                                           were there to ravage

                                           my soul,

                                           with all the despondence

                                           I just kept on

                                           strolling,

                                           lightening bolts continued

                                           to flash across the sky,

                                           accidentally I witnessed

                                           a distraught cloud

                                           that was torn asunder,

                                           gulping sobs of grief

                                           I still went on 

                                          crooning

                                          with the same 

                                          nagging pain,

                                          and a tattered heart

                                          of mine.
