GREY SHEETS

Dripping in sweltering blobs, of

Inconsolable loneliness,

Strange rain dripping slowly

Cladding my emotion

In sweltering layers of stickiness, undesirable-

Dark, ominous clouds,

Harbingers of foreboding happenstance

A thick covering of darkness

Stealing joy of light

Draining joy of life

Omen most ominous-

In one uninterrupted flow of greyness

Swamping sheets of miserable melancholy

Clutching in freezing coldness,

Spiralling up and around,

We wait-

Descending in enshrouding heaviness

In layers unyielding

Sheets, pricking sheets, overwhelming

In uninterrupted flow-

These dripping emotions are distracting

Dripping and congealing, when

Top meets bottom-

Congealing mass of emotion

Hanging heavily, wearily and sapping

Stretching lazily, clutching, cutting avariciously

On hearing of inevitable unexpected-
