The Loss of Innocence

Must read

By Nabin Chitrakar
 
Thunder racked my body.
Stormy winds and dark clouds conspired 
To wash me out with dead water.
 
The blow hurt my heart.
Brackish water spouted out of my eyes
To burn my cheeks like fire.
 
Passion’s impact shattered my dreams.
They floated like dry seeds
To never sprout again. 
 
Disinterested, the land closed its eyes
Like someone meditating in fake communion.
