Shirali Raina
Noida, India
His black smudged,
The white blurred,
Grey and only grey
His shadowed world.
Breathing in doubt,
Breathing out dread.
Angels in his heart,
And demons in the head.
His mind in tatters,
Blue, blue the pain.
Shunned and ragged,
The world of insane.
Mutes of the dusk,
Dawns of half dead.
Angels in his heart.
And demons in the head.
Oh ! The temptation
Of the fatal bait.
Reach out, embrace him,
Heal the cracked fate.
Uphill, the difficult good
Downhill, the easy bad.
Angels in his heart.
Put angels in the head.
