Best Socialred Poems


When

Thin -------- Slimy --------- Fluky--------
Thick ------- Thicker-------- Thickest--------
Heavy------- Drown -------- Drench----------
Blood ------- Red Blood ------- Flood----------

Passion evokes something sensuous
More to it is the feeling of violence
From head to leg it flows quickly--------
As if a flowing river red portrait

Pain --------- Turbulence-------- Death-----------
Does that only mean the red color?
What does it hold more?
Warmth -------- Bravery --------- Revenge--------

Body -------- Senses-------------- Instinctual----------
Not far and above the spirit, the soul----------
Its the body that produces it
And that gives that glamour, that vigor--------

That dour, That color--------
Without which it turns into a
Stiff-------- Stagnant--------- Still mummy or some boneless brown powder
Blood makes the body, protects, carves, enriches the soul that's vibrant and yet 
weak.


Notes: The psychological process of blood sprouting out is discussed here. Blood is 
first meant only of, for the body and something sensual disregarding the soul or 
spirit.
It becomes paradoxical at the point where the blood protects as well as enriches 
the soul without which it would be neither a body nor a soul but only a mummy.In 
the first four paragraphs blood is only sensual whereas in the last it becomes 
contradictory where it not only protects but also gives the soul its soul like essence.

Southern Lie Or Quest

To the west, or is it south they see.
Nay not, the west is the journey forward.
Southern views, latent with melody,
Journey now to the south and onward,
Eyes of red described in fright by day.
Eyes of red seen by one, at dawns break.
One that muses about disheartened display.
Disguised by mind tricks upon a wake,
She looked into the eyes of red, no form.
Not awakened by any sound or storm,
Shall this entity develop from only mind?
Dragged unto the sweltering still gaze,
What dimensions will continue to unbind.
Shall the horror take hold as it plays?
My tale may be real or just a lie.
You will decide what you believe.
Southward she still gazes as to comply,
Or is it in hopes of a tempered reprieve.

Upon the next eve, another rendition appeared.
Movement this time gazing softly to see,
Closely watching, feeling nothing - nothing feared.
Darkness has not complied, yet to any degree.
Misty light lies solemnly, playing these lies.
Performing a destiny of beyond our despair,
She sits soberly, gazing without any cries.
I stand waiting, guarding the way; I stare.
What illusion glares, or is it becoming real.
To her and me out of complexity or faith,
What shall be the answer of this time surreal?
Shall it be that a prophecy has begun its wrath?
They say the Moth man brings about casualties.
Would we be seeing sudden future fatalities?


Our eyes and mind play tricks upon what we see.
You decide if what we saw was evil or just a guest.
That our minds so overtaken by mere history.
Or are we all to be set upon, by a mysterious quest.
