Tolerance Unlimited !

Rukmangad Bawne 1948 (Mangle)



It's the dead end now
I can't bear't any more ,I said,
And lo, how I don't know why
The limit of my endurance blew sky-high!

This is the end of my patience
Can't bear’t any more, I starkly warned
Having raised my angry hand so high,
And how strange, unknown to me, it fell
When my red hot eyes met
Those twain tears in tiny eyes set!

Never again will’I  take this road
Nor deign even to look a,
And traced back my steps...
And unawares, in this retreat,
My eyes again and again
Stole back many a furtive look
To the self-forbidden island !

These memories, I'll bury them deep,
I shouted hoarse to all
But still they haunted  back to bite
In ghostly silence tall
And gently bit me, one and all !

Gently bit me one & all….
