Free Verse | All I ever wanted
An excerpt from Uddipana Goswami's 'Green Tin Trunk'
All I ever wanted
Was to cry over dead flowers,
Not see a thousand roses
Turn red beneath my skin
All I ever chained
My soul to was a song
I didn’t want to be shackled
To the dead beat of love
All I ever felt
Smaller than was the blue
Now I’m being choked
By a relentless sky
