For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror

As I stood there where the wind chafed my chapped skin, a howl of mourning played on the reeds of plumbing. Wind who is a friend, is cruel at times. She insists on playing off-note keys of the broken piano and pries open the closets of my bosom. And then out come tumbling: the shrieks of laughter, the wafts of sunday brunch, the moans, groans and sighs. All sights and sounds of human existence. Hurriedly I shoo her off closing the doors on reminiscences painful. Fire had been their family member. A recalcitrant child, admonished and often neglected, whose rage had burnt down my contacts human. Rain is the cruelest visitor of all, sprouts life, on my barren facade.

The pen was stuck and the ink congealed. Blood was entangled in the cobweb of apprehensions. Paper was a rough barren landscape, unpliable by the ideas, impenetrable by the seducing pen. Within a cocoon, they reside, of flesh and blood. Inside of me and independent of me. However hard might I try, no dangling threads can I find, to unravel the life and to disentangle the poetry.
