The Night of Shrieks

I was paving towards the old banyan tree Where the moonlight was cursed To these solitary paths my heart was unversed Fear embraced and didn`t let me go free. The hanging roots were a witch`s hair The mournful leaves tickled my hands And my legs ran errands The scene created looked rare Then when I touched the expressive stem I was pushed to a brightly lit place Where every creature dazzled with grace And worn a crown of an innocent gem. Still a found a love in their heart No stains of selfishness I found With joy and glee I was bound An unearthly place I found just few metres apart. I murmured," Where the hell I am, in dark beams?" A voice replied,"Its a place where you stepped at your will recently And you will leave soon and with a smile,decently Its a world you weave, its your creativity, its a world of dreams".

Lakshya, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
