Dust of Sadness is a poem I wrote at the age of 19. It was published in various publications. Notable amongst them was 'Kavita India' along with noted Indian English Poets like Kamla Das, Shiv K Kumar and Keki Daruwala.
Dust of sadness
Scattered on
The pavement of forehead;
Some specks
Lying as well,
On the unconscious eyelids;
Their weight a problem
A mild burden to bear
I woke up..
Tired..
And realised,
The smiles of humility
Are difficult to manage.
Without a doubt, it is a good poem, especially for the fact that it came from a 19 year old. Your other poems prove that this wasn't a fluke, you are talented.
