Paternal
Illness
The vat of life
Strife torn
Within
All issues, compounds;
catalysed
Scorned oblivion;
materialized
Fear widened eyes.
Pastel vista
Shuttered green
Screen, hung ajar
Hope filled within
Dooms shadow cast
Half ordered rooms
Wherein
A weary souls
duality
Undivided by reality
Awaits a dawn.
