Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Rhyme

Self-Veneration

Mind marooned in complexity
Intricacy singular in each living 
The psyche shapes unique entity
On alien attribute it won’t cling. 

In reserved recess riddles hide 
Sub-conscious search can’t find
Probing plea of the world outside 
Can’t contrive the closed mind. 

A pining prisoner of own making
A cocoon in introvert isolation
I see all the faceless faces fading
Me wedged in web of self-adoration.

My morphed mind turns Nemesis
Makes a mirror of mirage for me
I look into it lurching to the oasis 
It is only me that I always see.

In self-veneration, a false perception 
I notice Narcissus in me lonely lurk
A secret switching over to obsession 
Lies latent, languishing in the dark.

David Kavanagh February 10, 2023 at 11:22 AM Self respect and self awareness, can possibly add up to self veneration Subimal, I love the abstract way you went about this one, your 4th Stanza is quite brilliant, is mirage and oasis a reflection of the self, Introversion at its best, and a Fave, cheers David Subimal Sinha-Roy February 11, 2023 at 2:18 AM Thank you for your kind visit, and for "faving" the poem, David. You captured my introversion so very aptly. Self-respect is welcome, but when ego creeps in self-obsession inflates.
