Darkness – Delhi Poetry Slam

Darkness

By RAJENDRA NAGDEV

 Dying memories
 shattered dreams
 sinking desires
 held for decades
 seep thru porosity
 and vanish in nothingness.
 
 A shrunken scull bowl
 struggles to hold
 memories, dreams and desires
 on a bench
 in forlorn corner of the park.
 
 Anchored to a web of shrinking bones
 still throbbing with
 few feeble breaths,
 the scull bowl
 singly battles the impending doom.
 
 A journey born in the darkness of womb
 slowing down to end
 in the darkness of tomb.
