a life snatched

                                                          



crucial
malignant
yearning



She was full of life
yearning for more
fate had sharpened its knife
to languish her in pain and sore
 malignant tumour
had raised its ugly head
as days dimmed to hours
as crucial minutes ticked, we dread
of the inevitable.
Alas! we became poorer
a  angel snatched , blow terrible
wish she had bloomed brighter

Let's join hands, all , you and me
to defeat the germ of Big C.

I lost a dear friend 8 years ago. The void left by her will never be filled . We carry on with our daily life pausing for a second to see if she is with us.


 

The attack

                                                         

The 3 words are breezy , hairy , monstrous.

The UFO had taken refuge on the baseball ground. The earthlings fearing for 

their safety huddled, trying to find solace in numbers. The hairy monstrous 

creature came romping towards me while my nervous legs found a way to 

escape. The grizzly bear pinned me down on the promenade and my gasping 

breath woke me up to feel the pillow moist with my sweat. It was only a 

nightmare , I concluded and as I got up to sip water, I pulled up the Venetian 

blinds to allow the breezy draught to calm my frayed nerves. I reached for the 

remote button and the television screen sprang to life.

                “Attack of the aliens on Earth “, the breaking news resonated.

                                 I sat on the wooden bench

                                hard and morose my thoughts.

                                 
                                  A cold feeling stirred me

                                on a hot May summer 'noon.
                                        I  lifted my feet
                             ghastly, brown reptile slithered
                            
                            curving its long lithe body,
                         raising its hood , forking its tongue,
                                   My backbone erect,
                              I watched it with interest.
                         
                         watered grass caressed its body 
                         the Cobra , satisfied , withdrew
                                into its burrow , small.
                                   My muscles froze

                            The venomous cruel Cobra's
                                  sting could silence 
                              my daughter's laughter.
                               Live and let live, Nay.

                             flashed in my inward eye.
                             I crushed the burrow door
                                 with a stone , large.
                        Me retreated indoor with a smile.
