The Art of Brooding
written by: Anagha Agnes
The art of brooding
is a fortunate illness
the one that
lures artists,
consumes soul, like slow poison,
cast aside by death,
denied the
comfort of finality.
To brood and
savour,
lethargic pain
a strange catharsis.
To brood is an art
to stare at a wall,
to let the mind slip
into Neverlands,
transcending boundaries
between the real and unreal.
Brooding is a vehicle,
a teleporter.
If it comes to you,
you’re lucky
you’re no longer confined.
You levitate
like a feather
I am from Kerala, India. I did my post graduation in English and Comparative Literature from Pondicherry University. I am a guitarist and a hopeless romantic. Writing is habitual for me, an eternal companion that remains steadfast. This platform serves as my sanctuary, a realm where my literary creations find refuge and resonate with an audience unfamiliar yet appreciative.
