Dark clouds spread across the sky
All romantic and gay, you’d think
Gloom and grey was all that was there
The mind strides into a world of its own
Spiraling thoughts jumble up from nowhere
Like wisps of curling strands of smoke
Rising from recesses deep within
Awakening from their silent slumbers
Creeping up, their wretched ugly heads
Thoughts that I struggle to leave behind
Wickedly they smile, mock my being
With renewed strength and new-found vigor
My strong self looks away, makes no eye contact
Their presence overpowers, grips me tight
I fall prey for the thousandth time
To their malicious intents and roughish ways
Alas, the dark clouds that filled the sky!
Seasons of Life! 
Falling prey is always the sign of “Going forward” in life. Isn’t it?

Dark, though intense! It comes from quite a powerful imagination. In my little experience, the light seeping through the cracks ultimately shows the path even through the gloomiest and seemingly unendurable shadows. Time alone heals, time alone points the way…

Time is the only healer….
Narendra, I really appreciate your reading these thoughts put down in the most juvenile manner. And more so commenting on them. Makes me feel good for sure 🙂

Neelanjana, I don’t think they’re juvenile by any means – they’re the expressions of a subconscious weighed with niggling burdens. Yes, time will heal…let’s write something bright to help it move fast! 🙂

This is a powerful imagery you have painted with your words, Neel!
Granted that it’s dark but by no means should it remain hidden underneath other posts of yours! 🙂 Also, I can’t help but repeat myself, pen more poems 😀

Thanks again! I have some more saved in my laptop but feel somewhat uncomfortable to post, again for the same reason – they are gloomy.
