Aditi Mishra Poet Free verse

Latent Desires

A world of illusions procreates
blinking sustained delusions
existence shivering in probabilities
memories afloat in traces astray
If only I were a meteor 
I'd cross those barriers
to merge their essence for you..

Surviving beliefs proclaim strengths
astounding errors of hurled conquests
a seed of faith cocoons itself
in hazy blue dreams
If only I were a blissful rainbow
I'd splash hopeful colours
melting through the breeze for you..

Dark hallucinations evaporate
shrines of intuition exasperate
realities hinder imaginations
locking invisible worlds in mist
If only I were a feather in clouds
I'd wipe the dust of charades
sweeping showers of love for you..

Mortal moments stride along
paranoia of wanderer remains
wondering if forever sustains
a light to caress tender heart
If only I were a pious rivulet
I'd wash away those scars in flow
gleaming reborn leaves for you..

Superfluous battles of anxieties
pointing ancient spears of malady
shattering trust of naivety
masked crowds leading to agony
If only I were a lighthouse
I'd guide your fears in storms
projecting lucid emotions for you..

Sometimes I wonder if I really belong
to a world lost in speculations
If only I were a nurtured moment
If only I were a frivolous feeling
If only I were an eternal story
I'd orchestrate a timeless journey
mesmerizing parallel universes for you..

My love I am just a heart
striving to breathe in reality
scattered along my latent desires
all I am is a scintillating memory
tapping your silence in whispers
to hold you in my arms maybe..

Malabika Ray Choudhury August 8, 2020 at 5:39 AM Dear Aditi, Your poem is brilliant and exquisitely presented. I always enjoy your great images, and subtle vocabulary. Congratulations on your win. Love, Mala

John Watt August 7, 2020 at 12:45 PM Reading you is always a delight to my poetic sensibilities and an inspiring learning experience, Aditi. I just adore your formatting with consistent 7-line stanzas and lines 5 & 6 repeating the "If I... I'd" motif. More subtly, the parallels between lines 1 & 3 "procreates/existence", "beliefs/faith", "hallucinations/imaginations", "mortal/forever". It's like looking at a brilliant painting and finding a thousand things to enjoy. Exquisite poetry, my friend. A fave and anticipated winner ~ John
