Beyond

The inspiring piece I choose from the Poetics Challenge at https://dversepoets.com/2019/08/13/tuesday-poetics-lost-in-translation/ is Anniversary And we go on and on, neither sleeping nor awake, towards the meeting, unaware that we are already there.  That the silence is perfect, and that the flesh is gone. The call still is not heard nor does the Caller reveal his … Continue reading Beyond

Shadows that speak

voices tell me what to do voices I don’t like voices try to break my silence provoke me into taking a stand   shadows lurk in the background shadows overpower my presence shadows suppress my light shadows not mine – but the source of voices   Insanity? https://dversepoets.com/2019/08/12/quadrille-85-raising-our-poetic-voices/ https://amanpan.com/2019/08/12/brewnspew-cafe-august-12-2019/

Meetings

Oh,no! There you go….. once again carrying my dreams with you sketches on that notepad frozen shots entrapped in power zones with glue   ideas that flew so smooth stopped mid-air unaware of destinations I await my fate hanging at your mercy   I come again -yet another meeting notepads, screenshots scribbled thoughts of the … Continue reading Meetings

Overcoming

-wasted emotions teach me how to rise -cherished stories turn to junk -currency of love devalued in real markets   life has to go on and it’s more than love -born alone undivided soul -I extended myself but did not give away or sell   I learnt to celebrate -my capacity to love and share … Continue reading Overcoming

Stone-walled

Stone walled in the chamber I live - ignoring open windows   I heard aeons ago stories of a mirage lessons that got etched in stone   I choose rock-hard security over hints of fresh air changing the horizon   prisoner of my own mindset I’m afraid of being cheated – once again https://scvincent.com/2019/08/08/thursday-photo-prompt-within-writephoto/

Lessons of a lifetime

silhouettes of the soul bent, broken, aching footsteps   stories so inconsequential in the backdrop of the sky   a light within – floating in air on wings of wisdom and love   lessons of a lifetime carrying the universe through https://amanpan.com/2019/08/05/brewnspew-cafe-august-5-2019/

Never again

Obsessions, dependence left far behind I don’t ever want to be young again I know better, can’t go through the grind red hearts don’t fly - now that I have a brain hero-worship -- it goes against my grain   it’s not pessimism, but I know what works honesty fails – that is when life … Continue reading Never again

Combinations

I repress a strange desire to put them all together and see what happens but they escape…   splattered souls celebrate being divided coming together would reduce them to two entities God and Devil.. stripping the planet of myriad hues unplanned, unexplained combinations can fire splattered souls celebrate being divided coming together would reduce them … Continue reading Combinations

Heal yourself

sarcasm, criticism concealed barbs psychopaths know the power of toxic expressions   victims flinch but cannot escape the impact, cannot wash away stains on their psyche   move out beyond circles of damage stay aware of unwanted marks   heal unfreckle before they become deep unerasable scars https://dversepoets.com/2019/07/29/quadrille-84/

Rainbows

rainbows depict myriad hues of the world and humanity   I wonder what is the message behind omission of black and white   mixing shades redefining norms we play around with nature’s intent https://amanpan.com/2019/07/29/brewnspew-cafe-july-29-2019/
