Long, but deep were
Those ….
The conspiracies crawled
And steadied to
Well defined map of plans…
A prejudice
On unkempt flow of fury
Under currents
Warmed up
A long wait sustained
Just to float up
At the right twists…
But
How could it miss !
The arrow too sharpened
Aimed with cautious hands
Not just a drop
But a flood of blood
That was dreamt,
To ooze out…
Yet it failed
A rock heart tucked it in
The flattened edge bounced back
Here it lies swaying
The greed lay in mud
Off guard was it struck
Gone are the hopes
Sprayed with mutilated hopes
The vengeance smashed…
Yes, for sure the venom
De activates if mixed
In the thoughts of degradation
Of truth and honesty
It’s for certain in times
The truth would triumph.
Poetry is the means whereby we can encounter uncomfortable truths and situations.And Poets such as Geetha who have the skill and acumen to address personal issues in the poetic form are very few indeed.
Dear Louis Kasatkin, I am so grateful for your encouraging comments. I will preserve these as precious reward to my poet’s possessions.
My gratitude is beyond the realms of words.
