Wolf's Bane

On the shoulders of avid days 
I stride on its lips with a pot made of clays 
Inquest of fecund fields to preen what pays
Both the days we suture its coral  rays 

And days its name wears mystery
I schooled forth lapping the mile’s misery:
Worries a spoon, jester a stew, despair a rice dished miserly
Murdered hopes, spices; yet I slide, no furry.

At time when exiled felicity 
Staked in self stalk new sari 
Leaning against the old plea.
And lethal tears oozing breathlessly frosting his solitary balcony.

A wolf bane singing the songs of angel 
Orchestrated alchemical lyrics, in  it fell
O! Withers of pain, lend me your domain, let me dwell
O! I said, are you not wolf bane, won’t there be tale
O! I’m, recharge your crockeries of trust in my smell

A wolf’s bane she was indeed 
Listening to her lusty lyrics in refined 
Harem’s tone, then I pigeonholed.
As the suns fell on the shrubs, as dews condescended
As the soil becomes wealthily fending
A moon in me suffers seizure and my  dog died frothing 
Then I was awakened to knowing anon 
That there are good flowers and there are poisonous one

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
