THE ATTIC


                       Sometimes I wonder ,



                       What’s up there ,


                       In that cubbyhole above me .



                       The susurrations I’ve heard ,


                       And the cobwebs I’ve seen ,



                       Depicts it to be an eerie place .


                       But the stories  of heirlooms ,


                       And treasure troves ,



                       Makes me wanting to pop in there .


                       May be it’ll have treasure maps ,



                       Or even portrayals of enigmas ,


                       The ways it’d been in my fantasies .



                       It’s a place of riddles ,


                       Abstruse to me ,


                       Who hopes to not end up there ,



                       Even in the wildest of my dreams .


                                                                     -SUMITHRA J NAIR
