Dreadful Fever

Dreadful Fever

A Poem by Gurdeep...The Lost

                      Dreadful Fever
Oh! thou dreadful fever of ages,
Thou hast split and trapped me in different cages,
Thou makest me scream; screams which only I can hear,
And which create conundrums,and escalate fear.
Weights on my eyelashes, thou have placed,
Both, will and valor,have been chased.

The soothing winds swirl in my mind,
Of that which is gone, they do remind.
I am a lonely spectator,looking at the stage,
This phase is nothing, but just a vantage.
A rampage of anxieties, at times is there,
At times just nothing, with nothing to care.

My emancipation, is farewell thine,
Thy dissipation, by some force divine.
Which shall leave behind a solemn future,
And the wound shall heal; I shall remove the suture.
May I sleep for good, if a dream this is,
But if thou are one, may I wake up in bliss !

Delirium at its best. All of life's intensity at once and a door which opens one way or another. What more need be said?

Thank you so much for your kind review friend Fatima :-)
The eloquent language in this poem enhances the depth of thought of mature old age contemplating the meaning of life. Was there a purpose, did I achieve it, was it worth it?

A long and hard look at life's many self regulations ... when we imprison our frivolity ... in order to regain the mind of reason. Its a wonderful testimony of friends ... who are aware ... and bring a hand ... to keep company. Nicely done Gurdeep ...
