The beginning or the end ?

'Twere the halcyon hours of darkness,
The moon in the firmament, lay there oblivious.
The heavens were star-spangled
An iridescent beam of light sparkled

An iridescent beam of light sparkled
It's way through a ward, that was antiquated.
A ward that was bereft of light

That was where she lay, quiescent and quiet

She lay there quiescent and quiet,
Clenching her fists and her jaws tight
Striving to surmount trepidation with all her might
She lay there for a few seconds, Oh ! Not so quiet

She could lie there no more
She could bottle up her emotions no more
She could rein in her screams no more
There she lay, giving out a wild screech and an agonizing roar

Injected with propofol, she lay there cataleptic
Her gestation period of nine months were hectic.
She had been anticipating his arrival for more than a week
He was to have arrived, following the shriek

But, he never arrived immediately after the shriek
After a few minutes, she regally disembarked-an incomplete breech
She clung to the umblical cord, whilst giving a sneaky little peek
There she was, the daughter, so pale and so weak

The nursemaid noticed that her breath had suspended
"She is deceased", the maid said - She could bet on her stipend
Nothing could bring her back into dystopia - neither could love nor could any fund
Was this the beginning or the end ?

oh my god! 3 blogs.
i wish i had the time to write too..

i had to make seven (or more) trips to the dictionary to trace the words spare the meaning.

P.s. i have written a new mozilla add-on which ll open the search results of a word when double clicked.

I used my add-on to the fullest when i read this poem.

keep writing like this. may be i can monitise my add-on
