Agony

Poetry :

Deep-seated. 

-------------©-------------

Agony deep-seated,

Irony Deep-rooted.

Ignored, neglected,

Has been muted so far!

Come up, resurface, again,

Unexpectedly, suddenly,

In an unguarded moment,

When you are quite oblivious,

Obviously immersed, absorbed,

Fascinated, enchanted, absent-minded,

Lost in some trifle influence,

Or in something worthless,

A thought, a Principle, 

A Philosophy, an Ideal,

And just now, become aware,

Of the fact that nothing, 

In this, or of this world,

Could give you respite,

Relief, peace or solace, 

From this deep-seated,

Deep-rooted Agony,

You can but see, 

For the First and also,

For the last time as well,

How this Agony cruel, 

Took up roots, in your mind, 

How it vitiated your whole life,

And in a split second, 

It is uprooted, for once,

And for all, never to return.

And it is not the thrill,

The excitement or the joy,

That you had enjoyed so far!

You have lost all hope,

The fear, the apprehension,

The anger and the desire, 

As well as all despair,

And you seek no more,

Pleasure, and escape from, 

What you are / were,

And stay, abide in the Self,

That till now, looked away,

So very distant, till so far!
