Elastic...this bit of expression can be stretched to unlimited extent, 'a deadly red potion of grief Tears well inside me and drift like a river through my landscape'. A wonderful piece of poetry!

My inner turmoil! Sadness; but, hope lies ahead of you. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

I counted seven images or complexes of images in this poem, which makes it a purely poetic way of addressing a psychological crisis. I admire both your grasp of the workings of emotions and the sheer beauty of the imagery. This is a poem about mental angst but it does not sink into that angst. It is already rising above the tyranny of the emotions and summoning readers to a similar freedom of mind.

Thank you so much for sterling review. It's my obsession with dark images that makes me write such stuff but i try to balance it out with some frisky poetry celebrating Nature.

Night, even a beautiful sunset can mimic or mock our mood. Very well done.

Superb! ! ! Emotions are hard to control, in the most beautiful backdrops of night and silence, I hear the sound of heart crack and tears in your crafty and articulate poem, No less than 10 for you, Nosheen.
