Debjani Mitra Poet Free verse

Fantasy rides status quo

In silent drumbeats of depression
throbs a fractal life of no "visualization".
dandelions fluffing in howling winds
fight with Halloween "hallucinations".
behind the dusk of a sealed doorway lies
a vast empty space of no sun-showers...

I need a spaceship
to take me to a place I have never been
many lightyears away to another planet.
Where timeline untangles and "dream" floats
treading "whimsy" paths by moonlight. 
Where crystalline castles of "imagination" 
build chimeras over craterous depths. 
Where a wandering soul can escape   
into "reverie" flights of a wishful heart.
Where in pure beauty of the still night
dazzles a chest of rubies in onyx eyes.

Coding messages in long forgotten songs
through rows of roses, Will I get my Mozart?
In foams of a sea, only sorrow and suffering, 
Will my status quo change to a happy ending?

Ink Empress June 21, 2025 at 8:52 AM A very heartfelt poem this is poetic soul, i can feel the longing and the urge to be where no one else is and to start over, especially in lines such as “ I need a spaceship to take me to a place I have never been many lightyears away to another planet.” I also love the lines “ through rows of roses, Will I get my Mozart? In foams of a sea, only sorrow and suffering,” theres a musicality to the emotions you’ve expressed in such eloquence and in an effortless manner using all the prompt words so well! Nailed it. Best wishes! Sending you light always Debjani Mitra June 21, 2025 at 5:53 PM Thanks Ink , your words are so full of appreciation, lifts me.
