A black furry squirrel busily
Nibbling at my window frame
Gathering twigs, soggy wood specks
Making a bed for its offsprings
Fluttering wings, spattering water rain
A Robin in a birdbath, waltzing merrily
Feet in unison, twisting and turning
Making swirls in a moss coloured basin
Swaying to the melody of wind
A cherry tree happily swings
Sprinkled with juicy red fruits
Summoning swarms of life forms
An occasional seed thudding on deck
Its sweet maroon juices sucked dry
Spat out from an eager bird's beak
Already reaching for a new treat
Waking up to the morning sounds
Bustling pure energy - them all
Outside my window abound
My world seems serene and whole
Then I remember, you are no more
A pang in my chest uncoils raw sorrow...
Perched on a cement statue of divinity
Angle of Death waltzing every morning
Grotesque feet pulsating and twitching
Making a mockery of the joys of living
A black soul nibbling at my heart
Gathering failed dreams in glee
From jaws of a serpent fluttering in me
Pulsating grief dribble through my veins
Loneliness thudding
On the deck of conscience
Spat out carelessly
From a leering mouth
Succulent juices
sucked dry and readily
Reaching for a new prey
Despair rustling in the winds of fate
Waking up to a day forever changed
Realizing that you are no more
My whole world seems bare in vain!
