And I arrived again. <br />To the same familiar place, <br />that I have been before. <br />Caliginous and Gelid, <br />Incommodious and Putrid; <br />The place I hate the most. <br /> <br />The Mark on the wall, <br />I made last time <br />'I shall never come again', <br />grins at me saying <br />'He he..I told you so' <br />The hammer will strike <br />this anvil again. <br /> <br />The exits are smaller now. <br />The paths more longer. <br />The light more dimmer. <br />Me -it doesn't scare. <br />Been there before. <br />Will succeed by all means. <br /> <br />I ring the Reception bell. <br />The same hostess greets me. <br />With Bowl of concern. <br />A Cup of advice. <br />Syringe of confidence. <br />Tablets of hope. <br /> <br />'Do you have vaccination <br />for failure? ', I ask. <br />'Got to find out <br />on your own ', she says. <br />Will find it Someday. <br />But today I shall rest. <br /> <br />Tomorrow, Will get up again. <br />Make another mark on the wall. <br />Pay Precious time as fare. <br />And leave with a flare. <br />Have Things to dare. <br />And Enemies to tear.<br /><br />Pradeep Dhavakumar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/familiar-place/
