A Living Corpse

By Kasturi Sinha

In hollows deep, where minds sigh

A living corpse beneath the sky

The heart beats faint, a ghostly sound

In lifeless limbs, no warmth is found

Eyes that once held vibrant light

Now glazed and dim, lost in night

A soul adrift, in shadows tread

A living dead, in circle of dread

Beneath the weight of ghostly chains

The living dead, eternal remains

A story written in silence untold

Of a body alive, but a spirit cold
