Obsession

It squeezes your heart
Until your mouth goes dry
And your hands quiver
In futile anticipation.

This longing so strong
For a lost season
Of laughter and caresses,
Tears, bitter and true.

Sadness is a burden
That weighs down your heart
Until your shoulders droop
And your smile is but a shadow.

Guilt is a dagger
That stabs into the depths of your soul.
Repentance, you seek.
Denial comes quick and sure.

Watching, waiting,
Stalking with your thoughts,
You create a new world
Of the shards of broken dreams.

Hi Joe sir,

I am your old student at the Institute of Journalism... Anne Kurian's batch. We had met some time last year at the ET office in Kochi. I was there cos my content firm does some marketing supplements for ToI...
Hope you are doing well. You are in Chennai now?
