SOOTHING BALM

POEM

You look worried.

Sure,

something has gone wrong with you

but the reason, I know not.

The dark clouds on your face tell

many a sad story

yet I know not the reason behind it.

Whither gone your pleasantness,

serenity and tranquility.

Harmony had never left you before

like the azure sky without any clouds,

the dark clouds.

Why can’t you open up your mind

at least to me

which would certainly

make your mind lighter

if not happier

so that I could have applied

soothing balm to wipe out

your pain and hurt.

This sudden change on your face,

is not because of ‘mood swings’ I am certain

If that were the case

it would have

visited you frequently.

Open up your mind

it would help you

to release your suppressed and hidden feelings.
