AFRAID
Love
my world enormously happy,
The
infinite thrill overwhelmed me,
Curious
once being a chick looking at,
Nest,
I never built but safe and secure,
Found
inviter godly to the abode of humans,
Learned
profusely love and care pristine,
Abundant
the fountain of love discovered,
Thanked
life nourished well and grew,
The
infinite concern for illness alerts,
A
pair of hearts shared defeat sickness,
A
small amount of happiness I exhibit,
Parents'
awful warmth permeates intensely,
The
small lane blind end opens to town,
Opportunities
came flooded hopes,
Never
aspired mansions sprawling gardens,
Aristocracy
to acquire falls obscurity,
This
was the inspiration of poor parents,
Taught
to be honest, sympathetic, loving,
Remember,
today stands alone here,
In
the dead of night, the town fell asleep,
Torturous,
piercing silent night ghostly,
Stands
in front of our home once I grew up,
Vacant
and locked for years hunting,
Remember
forgot my parents,
Dreams
of limitless wealth women,
Elegant
attractive induced lusty heart,
Move
far continent the divide faced,
Pay
for every handshake, kiss, or wine,
Earn
work diehard addict dream,
This
is a dreamland where to achieve,
Success
is to annihilate wished others,
Cruel
yet smiles envy sprouting buds,
Tag
charismatic enigma overpowering,
Surgical
removal of opponents in joy,
I
am he musk permeates to hypnotize,
Tomorrow
is the big challenge stolen,
Know
that people search for heroes only,
Forget
abysmally heartless ignore,
To
fight is right kill free will bedevil,
Devil
not for human life but to exploit,
Thoughts
of emotions swept past,
Like
a cine motion incessant display,
Ah
accomplished rich and famous,
I
knew father was sick, moneyless,
Never
he communicated, lack of money,
Lack
of treatment Mom intimated,
I
read her letters, felt sad, forgot,
Overwhelmed
with luxury pleasure in life,
Never
could imagine Mom was alone,
Suffering
due to the same reason, poverty,
In
the last letter knew she was ill, bedridden,
Job
blocked totally business merciless,
Cannot
leave million to lose in a day,
The
greed waylaid mischievously felt right,
The
Community sent a letter to sell the house,
Found
this lane is same, lamp post exists,
Opened
the lock, empty parents' album,
Wall
frames dust-covered mushroomed,
My
parent's bedroom was intact, empty,
The
hollowness gave an acute-pain, in me,
Life
passed, auburn hairs ripped white,
The
pink aura bright skin is wrinkled,
Now
realizes it is past midnight for life,
The
dawn will break soul will spread wings,
Fly
far off then away was my flight,
Never
look back at the loved frame,
I
stood in front of the home a ghost,
The
silhouette was sill now less afraid!
