Desolate
Indubala S Kumar 2005 (Kannur)
What shall I give you?
Flakes of dreams that trampled into the flames,
Childhood dust that always bothered me.
The Sun was up there, friendless
Guarding,
but it never cared to shine
What shall I give you?
Reality swaps that made my day
Reclusive evenings I spend,
to catch the divine.
I dare, but I cannot
The distance is more than infinity.
