Withdrawal (A poem by Gyanu BK)

 -Gyanu BK

I rummaged in my Heart, found it not.

Again, in vain, I did so.

And found it not.

Already, yeah already It had streamed away,

Far… Far… Away……

No hope now of its return.

Transformed Is my heart,

Now, more stronger than before,

More hopeful than before,

More cognizant than before

Of not to fill it again with emotional blood.

Incessantly was there the withdrawal

              OF MY EMOTIONAL B…L…O…O…D…

From my heart.

      HENCE,

It no longer feels,

No longer cares,

No longer cheers,

No longer cries,

No longer sings,

No longer dances,

No longer hurts,

No longer trusts,

Worst of all, It no longer beats.

It only stifled like ‘‘a fish in an empty aquarium.’’

My heart entered the turbulence of my emotional blood.

ALAS, the heart

S-p-l-I-n-t-e-r-e-d,

It S-p-l-I-n-t-e-r-e-d

Like an empty splintered Urn.

Born is the NEW HEART with RATIONAL BLOOD,

It is born the vehement

With the Withdrawal of my emotional blood from the OLD HEART.

Where should I find you, my EMOTIONAL BLOOD???
