Beyond the gallows
I saw light,
An end to this fight.
Death seemed
like a release,
To finally rest in peace!
Mary Kirkpatrick
When your world
seems dark and bleak,
And it’s peace
and release you seek,
Don’t write that note,
instead look within
Let a glimmer of light
and hope come in.
Anjana Surendran
Venomous impulse of betrayal
never enticed me
Virulence of hatred
never enthralled me
Malice of power
never mattered me
I was ever driven
by the pioneers of truth
And here I was
all paid with
gallows and scaffolds!
Arlene Larocque Jones
No matter the
depths of our despair
There are always
those that care
What you think
may be a resolution
A hope of restitution
Turns out not
to be the solution
Because the pain
and suffering you once bare
Has now carried over
for your loved ones to share
Debra Pry
Imprisoned by thoughts,
And no way to escape.
But there’s always
a glimmer of hope,
To determine your fate.
Beyond the walls
of doubt and fear.
Freedom awaits,
For the Lost,
When the path is clear.
Usha Nandini
On the verge of death,
the letter gave him
the warmth he yearned
for and his emptiness
did not kill him anymore
because the cup
was filling up.
Letters can be magical.
Ashok Pande
This cocoon of
Darkness,
Makes that
Light of,
Freedom ,
A hangman’s
Noose.
Overcome your
Fears and,
Move towards
This elusiveLight,
Where you can,
Breathe free & fearless.
Karthik Parthasarathy
Freedom from the walls,
Of the most depressing thoughts,
To see the blue sky,
Filled with brightness galore,
Even if it is one last time,
I would still take that,
Anything but here,
Cupboard of patience
is going bare.
Rocco DiMascio
In the depths of despair,
the desperate will stare,
to see if there’s hope,
at the end of a rope.
Mary Kirkpatrick
When you’re psyche
is shrouded in gloom,
And you feel like
you’re trapped in a tomb,
Don’t try anything
drastic to escape
Inner hope can
change your landscape.
Manvi Jain
Oh! how I wish,
I could escape
the bars of constraints.
Yes how I wish
I could pass
the message of faith.
Oh! how I wish
I could no longer be a slave.
Yes how I wish
I could free myself
from being a grave
Sharon Shain
As the light
in the unknown
beckoned me
I knew that
it was time
to stop fighting
a rigged fight
and finally lay
my soul rest
Sulekha Pande
There’s release beyond
the dark tunnel,
I see the heavens
behind the narrow funnel,
I am ready to
hang by my neck,
death will be my saviour,
the gallows will
be my raincheck….
Aparna Goswami
At last the “Salvation”,
how tranquil! The tormentus
story of my life,
which no one witnessed.
This letter will say it all!
Ssareeta Singh
I am so close to you now,
I am coming to you to bow!
My heart and my soul,
I have never felt so whole!
