My Shell



Me in my shell
Rankled with my own fanciful world
World of wishful feelings of love
Sublime once, now feel like the hell
Me in my shell

Me in my shell
Thinking about her elegant art
Her exquisite paintings, her melodious voice,
Mellifluous sound that moved my heart
Me in my shell

Me in my shell
Melancholic with the love I felt
Whimsical connection now getting hurt
Heartfelt dedication of those songs
Once amorous now looks all wrong
Me in my shell

Me in my shell
Am I not, au fond, wholly a player?
Played with her feelings & with kindness of her
In deep thoughts of my shadowy world
Her intentions were misjudge & her lucidity not heard.
Me in my shell

About this poem

Sometime we need to take two steps back and come to our shell .. introspect self .. away from ruthless hearts
