Broken Through

Broken Through! I can see your smile of pride While on tow beside my side You think yourself so well Ringing others' death knell. Your mind is as clear as glass Through my sight can pass; For, all the paean you sing Conceals a Scorpion's sting! All Praise songs that you sing Flatter someone into a King! Others you reign until tame Using tricks of the mind game. Did I not feed you with milk And laid you on beds of silk? It seems time has flown fast Till you forgot our own past. But, forgive me for being rude; Your brain is in pure nude: You planned a breakthrough You've been broken through! 22nd Aug' 2013

Just That Archaic Poet

I am just astounded by your precision with your words. While the rhyming is a little wobbly and wrinkly here and there, they do not detract from the poems impact. You have conjured many beautiful verses in all the poems of yours I've read and I find myself quite jealous that I did not think of them. When I am jealous of another poet's work, it means you have moved me greatly with your words. You can consider me a fan of your work; adding you to my fave poets :)
