Mindless Fury

a poem by Aparna Gopalakrishnan

In an angst of fire
Burnt my dreams
From its fury rose
The flames of love
A unlikely love, unrequited
All to go into smoke

No yesterday, no tomorrow remained
All trampled under the feet of today
Today remains a gigantic mountain
I fear to conquer

A heart- they call it
Rather call it death
And death be called heart
For death has more heart.
