Across the sky, flashed crossed blue lightning,
The heavens above are in turmoil,
Pin-prick and the balloon burst,
"Hey son, can we have parley?
The harbinger of dusk knocks,
The sun is cold,colder than snow.
Can I come in?"
A distant bell chimed-dong
Alas!the empty spaces take it all in,
Across the horizon, flashed a shooting star,
Untouched, unblemished by any scar,
And there he slept,
With no worries that fret the clouds of doom,
Cuddled up in the honeydew of slumber.
"Hey son, can we have parley?
Its me, your pal,
A liitle touch is all I ask for,
Can I come in?"
The silhouettes shifted,
The shadows tried to charm him,
A pocket-ful of moonlight wisped through,
Hope cried out in anguish,
Fear leapt in joy,
And there he slept,
With no worries that fret the clouds of doom,
Cuddled up in the honeydew of slumber.
"Hey son, can we have parley?
Its me-death,
Remember we were friends once?
Lama sabachthani?"
But there he slept......somewhere!
Bottled up-pure,untouched yet potent,
Life and all that comes with it.

kya baat hai bhai ... ye "across the sky ... " wali line abhi k mausam se inspired ho k likhi hai kya ??
ReplyDeleteThis poem goes deep very deep. Showing the despicable death in the form of someone who cares for the life is unique and the diction used is very simple which adds to its vigor. Well done dude keep it up....
ReplyDeletethe meaning is so deep tht i couldnt even get tht unless i was told directly :P :P
ReplyDeleteGood Personifications for every aspect of the poetry..whether it be nature..lightning thunder...Very good..!! but a question...is it that u genuinely write like this or purposefully write like this..??? if ur talent genuinely lies in writing like this then it is pretty good...though even then u need to step down from ur high and mighty pedestal to reach the mortals..!! and if u do it with effort into it...then b true to urself is all tht i need to say..!! but my instinct here tells me tht it is ur original way of writing..!! do simplifying sumtyms..!!
ReplyDeleteAll the Best
Keep Writing...
