Shaking

With my gratitude to poetess and fellow slop-ian Aparna Gangopadhyay whose poem  sparked off and inspired mine. ..Thank you for the illumination cast!

I am shaking all the allurements are wearing off
It's getting dangerously close
Frightfully real
I can taste it not happening for me
Uncertainty is the end of this tale.

Or I can tweak it around
And equivocally say
Love is happening
And now I know
The certain end to this improbable tale.

And shaking in my boots
And scraping for scraps
We are talking as if
You and l
Are real
are together
As if we are light
Surrounded  by darkness.. .

But what it is l know too well
we are really
Inside the pits of hell
The sun unmoved inaccessible
Deep in the heart of our bottomless well.
