Fear
dark feelings engulf
trepidation clouds senses
imprisons present
Fury
inner core ruptures
scorching lava sizzles out
wreaks crimson umbrage
Void
quintessence consumed
drowned in infernal abyss
extinct emotions
Facade
a veneer disguise
contrived emotions displayed
dubious motives
Forlorn
lonesome soul cringes
a foreboding gloom pervades
silent cry echoes

Radhika’s writings reflect her thoughts and ruminations on life. While she mostly writes poetry, her blog Radhika’s Reflection is a potpourri of photographs, prose, and musings. She recently published her first book of haiku and poetry titled Eclectic Verses, which is available on Amazon.
