Past Haunts (Musette)

by Meena Krish   Jan 12, 2010


Heart pains
when sins visit
peace wanes

Past wrongs
threatens future
nightlong

Screams pray
for punishment
each day

    As usual you did a wonderful job with the form. It is sad with a powerful message.

    Now that i have tried this form myself, i can be honest while saying that this is tough yaar but you surely made it look so simple. I really liked the stanza above.

    all the best and take care

    Such few words can speak so loud & be so powerful. This did just that -- the past can be very haunting in one's future. Very true indeed -- well done.
