The Mark of Stitches: Image


And I was looking for an image as a backdrop for this poem, and I stumbled across someone's pictorial representation of Dante's poem 'The Divine Comedy'. Well with the picture it was love at first sight!

Quote: On family

It was during one of those days at my work place, when I had a great news and so many people around me, some of them good friends as well, and still I didn't feel like walking up to anyone and share my feelings. At that point in time, all I wanted to do was to rush away and hug my parents and to look at my sisters and shout it out, loud. 
That was the moment when I thought of these lines: Doesn't matter in which part of the world I am, when I'm happy the only place I want to be at is my home, the only people I want to get surrounded by is my family.

Poem: The Mark of Stitches

It has been long since I'd written something that I can associate with pain. And so the writer in me was waiting for an opportunity to feel something close to that pain that it wanted to pen down. Well, it was difficult and it wasn't quick, but then the I'm happy with the end result! ;)
What was going on in my mind while writing this, was the pain of distrust, and all that it carries with itself. I also wanted to try my hand at applying some paradoxes with the flow of the poem, just to make it sound different. ;)  
Your reviews will always be deeply appreciated.

The mark of stitches

Shattered I appear,
that’s just the crust, you see.
Un-imaginable is the pain I bear,
invisible, it is to thee.

Piece by piece I stitch,
broken shreds of my heart,
to revamp the results of a glitch,
that tore it apart.

How entwined our lives are,
a push here, its effect there.
A glass of water falls down,
an army of ants, in the pool drown.

The eruption that destroys,
feels bad about the loss.
Does it stop inflicting a similar pain?
Does it go for a toss?

An action on someone’s part,
a cause of shame for another,
how un-necessary a burden is carried,
for an unknown’s brother!

Proverbs aren't always true,
their constant nature is the cause.
How often is the sky blue?
How often does the Earth pause?

One learns to love, again
and to trust as well,
the mark of stitches will forever remain,
in the mind doubts will dwell.
