No Suicide

a poem by Christuraj Alex

Sadness
Like the sachet
Of a detained schoolboy
Taunt, tease, thrash, threaten, terrorize
Sadly

Sadly
Sachet full with
Colorful memories
Captivate, caress, convince, cure
Serene

Serene
Sadness gives way
Sachet memories soon
Savors secure, smoothes shines, shields, saves
Smoothly

(Cinquain)
