Annihilation

What was left in our hands
after risk and awards were given to seekers ?
Sign of grace at hairpin bends
was absent.Nobody was speaking.


A moratorium was announced.
Somebody will have a glimpse of the moon
through the interstices of pain. Not
a word will be uttered for the elite


ravines of truth. Blessings of facts
will interact with amnesias. The bribery
of bleeding will extract a price. I
am moving the wheels of doubt. The
vulture of time throws a shadow.

Smile, *^_^* The Queen of gray grim gruesome, sweet Satish Verma. = But not today; for amid this Soulfully splashed poe in paintings I find, the fascinating colours as that of a pretty Peacocks spreading "Her," lovely wings ~ Such a beautiful sight to behold, is "She." == I took these sweetened hues, and dipped my hearts fingers into they, to brush upon the canvas blank, "Your Beauty." === love always, jasper
