Best Desiccation Poems


Premium Member The Endgame
The endgame 

And the cemetery was
nowhere to be found
yet was so present
in the shallow depth
the graveyard of the mind

No tombstone unturned
fragmented torn and twisted 
sorrow flowing down 
encrypted alleyways 
and Thanatos’ call 

Searching to imprint
coffin’s nails on seams 
of muddy icy prison
hammered chiselled avenues
creeping through...

Here Lies She
Just see
How fearlessly
Sunshine is seated
On the  gravestone

And the caring breeze
Whispering to the loneliness
So absolute
Beneath the tombstone

A paleolithic stone
A meaningless silence
Guarding utterly alone
The desiccating non-existence

Here lies she
Neither sad nor happy
Decaying gingerly
Enriching the earth

Are all doors locked
The moment we breathe our last
Then why the philosophers and...

Crawl Into Me
Scattering into broken pieces
Of debris,
My life has become a black painting
Of nothingness,

Within myself I see,
 You concealing me,
I feel droplets of misery
Crawling into me, to simply become…
Me… 

I wonder if my tears
Could water the eternal desiccation,
That fills my life with hopelessness…
When will “I” reappear?

Nothing but...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Before the Moment Passes
Two spirits of passions
From ever separating worlds 

Watching and hoping with intensity

Drifting on winds of nowhere
Tracings of comfort and familiarity

Fearing the change that arrives with risk

Ignoring pangs in exchanges of nothings
Yet there exists a sweet fervor between them

That unyielding thirst of eternal desiccation

Two souls of...

Ama: the Song of the Jungle
Ama you are a father 
Father my father
Whose basket of fishes
Sweetened my mother’s dishes
Whose naked feet danced
The jungle drum you drummed.

I remember
Father I still remember
Those joyous days
When like brooding hens
You employed your hands
To shield the offsprings
Those several bodies
O! the little bodies
That clung to your bare...

Tardigrades aka Water Bears, Moss Piglets

Before T-Rex appeared and the Dodo bird disappeared,
Leading to modern-day scientific knowledge increasement,
Creatures of infinitesimal size called ‘Tardigrades’ endure,
Were and are living and thriving, just about anywhere on earth.

From mountain heights to frigid, snow-capped pole blizzards,
In the depths of oceans...

My Garden
MY GARDEN

It’s only rose rains, no reins.
in my   garden  redolent
of you preened and  green.
brainwashed  by  balance sheets ,
soul-washed  by  sour names, 
what remains as mine.
remnants ? residue?  Desiccation?, no!
a sanguine touch,  solitude?, yes!

Storm Warning
The gathering storm rattled snakelike over distant hills,
Heads of dust and debris thrown as charcoal relief
To the vast expanse of the sky;
In the drought of reason, heat radiated a stillness,
Diseased and brooding, motionless as fissured statues
Or corpses in their time of desiccation.
The old grudges quickly...

My Mother's Son
I am my mothers son,so she always say

As i gasp my first air in her arms she held me

Like priceless yet valuable item never to lose me

My first teacher ''say mama'' she taught me

To her i was and i am flawless

Try hurting me and you...

Poetic Prognostication Proves Itself Pathetic Pablum Part One
Despite countless factorial permutations

seeking succor asper Somerset Maugham.

Santa Ana Reclaimed
Wildfires of fall bring us whirlwinds of flame.
Black-scape throughout, life’s survival or death?
Spring blooms of dogwood. Renewal sustained.

Santana stampedes, she’s wicked, untamed,
through canyons of ages. We hold our breath.
Wildfires of fall bring us whirlwinds of flame.

Now Dante’s hellhound of Hades renamed!
Desiccation abounds where there were...

Perfect Tomorrow, Recycled
Will one day be against the law
To grow your body five feet tall,
To have a paunch/To eat too much:
And those too different [or who Pray]
Will be (Most Kindly) put away.

And will watch you/checking if
You have eaten what they wish,
That you wash, and that you wipe,
Doing...

Cain's Dilemma
Evil broiled him changing his thoughts, and he perceived not
The slow desiccation of his mind, how his brain infected rot
From the poison of pride! More and more putrid he became
Despising his brother for doing good, and jealousy riled him
Into hatred darks vice, while self-willed that...

Trading Desires
Wrapped in explosives he was unready
for a bruise. A dive at a mound of torso
to unearth the archives of areolae.

Apnoea will come for arbitration
in clenched insinuation :
pull nipples to open the window of mind.

On the forehead a smear of vermilion
brings glare like a third eye.
Real...
