Pallid Pages

Her once sinewy hands are now quivering

The rusty album has perhaps become too heavy

For her feeble hands to hold.

As she turns the pallid pages

The memoire of her life starts to obtrude

Vernal era of her life is over

And enduring autumn has arrived.

Her sublime face has become pale and puckered

The bloomy hands have crumpled

Her lustrous skin has been left languid

And it’s radiance has been lost into an abyss unknown

Maybe jitters and worriment have engulfed it

Her slender fingers which once cradled her infants

are now unescorted

Craving for someone to uphold her

Relic of treasured memories has amortized too

Turning the oasis into a graveyard

The story she wove on the fabric of her life

is about to end

Why she has to see the climax alone

She finds it obscure to understand


In response to Fabric
