TRAVAIL

[had a conversation with a dear school friend. got to get a tiny glimpse of what he lived after we parted. i tried portray his phase in the octet, and the sestet speaks of the present me!]



Marks red dotted his paper white,
Buttresses fell, that held him upright.
Caress, a hug, he asked no more:
In lieu, was left writhing in gore!
Chitin unmasked, staccato he wore,
Pain in the eyes, burdened the core.
Shunned and thwarted, a forced debark---
Soaked in rain, he 'danced' into the dark.



Shudder and guilt, I retraced his way,
Verity struck, i stared in dismay:
Smudges blue, sole lived his fight.
Solitude brew, he 'rehab'ed all white.
"I wish I were there"----harping idiosyncrasy,
"I need no one"---he bellowed, ecstacy!
