HERE I STAND
By Gracia
Here I stand, lovely I look.
Praising and throwing admiration on thee
Not knowing how, and that slowly
The lioness heart is melting within.
“She glows...she slays....” are words
From the nice neighbours and friends
Yet little do they know: it is just the spirit
Of the lioness –not to be easily defeated
By the strong and sharp spear of life!
Here I stand, lovely I look.
‘Love is a deadly poison that kills people’
Her poet pal once propounded.
She laughs and tells him that she can survive
And defeat it.
Now, hell, she agrees even more –
Love is more deadly than poison.
It’s another form of crashing chemotherapy.
Oh! Here I stand, lovely I look.
Remembering the words of her pal
She weeps, and badly breaks down now.
Rest the seemingly restless mind!
***The End***
