Other poems by Ashok Kumar Madhunlall:
»Within Without«
Into a million pieces the lightning shattered the night sky;
Incessantly the thunder rolled, awaking every living being.
Every nerve in his brain, circuiting the news, he could not deny;
Cold, clinical, concise thoughts ricocheted, as played out previously in a dream.
The scorched earth mercilessly pelted by the rain;
Lightning streaked across the sky, jagged scars streaming.
Tears welled up – ran down furrows – the dream said, "Insane";
He searched the horizon looking for answers, screaming!
As quickly as it started the rain did end;
The stars from their hideouts began to peep.
But the thoughts in his head reverberated: "For me will she fend?"
His faith in God and Love his fears put to sleep.
The stars radiance pulsating to him reaching
His mind wandered for answers searching...searching.

Gigi Yenk: "Its often only in poetry that we let out pieces of ourselves captured in words, there for anyone to make of what they will"
