My sodden lids

Teetering on the brink of my rim fringed with curling lashes,

Dissonant they wait tentatively seeking permission to flow.

Perhaps the shadows of the past intrude, impinge on today?

Creeping up in weak moments they lay siege on my heart.

 

My sodden lids bear the brunt of the sorrowful emotions

That sear as if cleaved with a hot dagger dipped in venom.

A tremble in my lip as I grapple to hold my sorrow at bay

But alas! I blink and they fall, unhindered, a river of dolor.

About Sonal Singh

I believe that life is a repertoire of anecdotes. The various situations that we encounter, the many incidents of every day, the people we meet, our conversations with them; all make life a melange of tales. And, that is what I attempt to capture through my writing. My cooking is no different! It reflects my love for travel and my love for innovation. The kitchen is my happy place. So, even though by vocation I am a recruiter (www.rianplacements.com), by passion I am a writer, home chef and a hodophile.
