I was groping in darkness,
Stumbling over my loneliness
When all of you lit,
Countless candles for me
The wax has melted,
The light has faded,
Yet, the dying gleam
And the smoky fragrance lingers on,
Softening the gloom.

Poems about nature and human nature.
Image by Shelly PaulWind all over me –
Beating my face, slapping my hands,
Whistling in the ears,
Rushing to the mind –
Scattering away thought streams,
As I ride the pillion with my man.
The motorcycle growls, roars,
Road unfurls endlessly,
Green grass blur seamlessly,
Blue umbrella skies, cloud tufts, pale moon awaits.
Through the tree canopies of late spring,
Into the ever-changing lines of the horizon,
I ride the pillion with my man,
Without a care – tranquil, meditative.

When life is burgeoning,
World feels like spring
Moments freeze into memories sweet.

Time stands still in breathless awe.
When dreams shatter
Crumbles into despair,
Listless days stretch into timeless void.
Clocks tick with mathematical precision

Clipped phrases strung together –
Butchered images styled to look like a collage
Smattering of impressive words throughout –

So intellectually superior
What it really is –
A sad imitation of a great art,
Art by an untalented artist
Incomplete thought fragments
Strung together unimaginatively
With neither heart nor mind
This is the make-up of modern poetry –
Muddled, borrowed creativity.
I am the Queen of Tragedies,
Henceforth I declare:
I have been wronged at every turn in my life
Yet, I never rendered any harm to a single soul.
I am incapable of sins and wrongs
Anyone who thinks otherwise is a sinner.
I shall judge the world around me,
Punish anyone who disagrees with me,
Absolve them —
When,
From their hearts they will acknowledge my Purity. Continue reading “Queen Of Tragedies”
