PAIN IN MY HEAD

PAIN IN MY HEAD

Your hollow
And wet eyes
Frightened at times
Were searching
And looking
Around the room
Where I am

Mine though
Not frightened
Were also looking around
The room

Suddenly
Our eyes met
I looked
His hollow
And wet eyes
Also looked
Towards me

As if to say
Why? Oh! Why? Do
I have a pain
In my head?

I am a loving
Caring
& even good
Looking person
He asked
Why? Oh! Why?
Do I have a
Pain in my head?

The question is deep
And in his head
But telepathy
Was the means
By which I heard

I said it faintly
So as not to
Be heard
Did not want him
To feel guilty

God works
In very
Mysterious ways

I would not
Dare find solutions
Or
Reasons
Why? You have
This pain in
Your head
I said

May be
If you
Think deep & hard
You might not
Have pain
In your head
I replied
To the question
Posed

But
This will not ever erase
Those hollow
Frightened and wet eyes
From my memory of you
All These years

You are articulate
Bright
Loving
And
Always ready & willing
To help and guide
Those you consider
To be needy

Why? Oh! Why
Do you
Have pain
In your head?

I have now
Given up
Looking for
A clue of
Why you have
Pain in your head

Can’t find
An explanation
Why you explode
With hate
And
Affection
Alternating
Love
And
Hate

I can
Confidently say
You are
A successful
Family man
Who should keep?
His head high up
Await with hope

Proud
To be able to say
It loud
Now I have no more
Pain in my head
Say it loud
Again & again
I have no more pain
In my head

Am free , free,
Free at last
From the pain in my head Should not mind
But relish
With delight
For
The pain is now
Out of my head
And
Out of my mind
