Best Desiccation Poems
The EndgameThe 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 SheJust 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 MeScattering 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...

Before the Moment PassesTwo 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 JungleAma 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 Or Moss PigletsTardigrades 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 GardenMY 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 WarningThe 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...

Santa Ana ReclaimedWildfires 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...

Cain's DilemmaEvil 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 DesiresWrapped 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.
