Best Unrelieved Poems

On my hands there are a million things
Cuts, stains and pencil marks
And a thousand little dreams

On my hands there are so many lines
Little roads leading one to another
Like moving stories of losing time

On my hands there are many words
Of joy and sorrow unrelieved
That seem precious...

Sometimes I muse that life can be a *itch
When every prospect seems of rosy hue
From cerulean sky a fatal glitch
Precipitates its mischief; then I rue
That naive expectation of a child
On whom Dame fortune yet has only smiled

Then something in my skin begins to itch
In parts...

Both remained suspended, motionless;
The storm began to subside
But still the sea was disturbed.
“Come! Come courage!”
As I said it, I knew it was a naïve hope.
Who are you if you lose your favorite person?
A sheer drop, black and faceless
It was a bleak, harsh view, 
the sea...

I hear by now say that thine self is fed up honey.
       Done,
       Distraught--
       Finished.
5     And with everything going on, my community is...

Continued from The Eye of the Sea part 1


The first mate, dour and sparse of words
Claimed few things were his pleasure
And too much beer had brought him here,
That and the rumoured treasure.

The cook was thin, just bones and skin,
And constantly in a bad mood,
Though he...

It was a sultry summer day,
The air lay thick and still.
The leaves hung flaccid on the trees,
As if slumbering in a deep sleep.

No birds were to be heard
For they were hiding from the heat.
The awful quiet was deafening,
And the utter stillness unrelieved.

She pondered about her...

Patience, not disturbed by words,
works wonder
to hide the unrelieved pain
of a guilty conscience 
remaining the overburdened broken heart 
untouched by an unwanted peep 
into the turbulent mind
and the skeleton
thrown to its ultimate destination
where Peace serves the dried eyes
a perpetual relief
that the soul always looked for
to...

And she picked it up -
The sleek black and white feather,
Threw it in the bin.

Black and white against
Unrelieved grey. Graceful curve
Against the straight lines.

A flash of beauty
In the gutter. Tidied up
To dull, gritty grey.

Mock Jasmine flowers - 
Beauty and perfume all lost
For neatly trimmed hedge.

Bright...

Sometimes he needs, driven by
remnants of hunger for things 
that he can find on E-Bay, gifts. 
Life in the sea of faces passes 
like a trip through mayonaisse,
bits of effort inhibiting his eyes,
seeing the same configurations unrelieved. 
He needs something new 
when life became a...

That Life that i missed
Even when I feel the pain I always rejoice in the moment of my sorrowful blessed life thats when that time tick and ticked before i tick. 
When I am much more happier I cherish the moment till it melts into...

The city's dark and silent streets
Are wet and cold in late November.
The trees stand still; a fireplace heats
A house which few care to remember.

In this forgotten, lonely place,
The heavy tomes entomb the teacher
While, in the dwindling light, his face
Betrays a soul of noble features.

In this...

The road winds, black and long, across the field.
Fellow travelers merging as traffic flows,
the freedom gained by linkage seems unreal
across the world on rivers others go.
No beaten paths are worn where jungles grow.
A freedom gained by movement, we’ve achieved.
Others wait in poverty unrelieved.
They can not...

The clock is chiming
Since ancient times
My mind is roaming...I'm in a haze of bewilderment
I'm sprawled in a puzzling maze
Thinking deeply...
wandering...contemplating

My voice is rumbling,
altering into whispers
troubled by the clock
bursting my skull open
releasing tension
oh, how agonizing
deepening in my ruins

my mind blank with ashes

Unable to figure my way...

Mercury nights unrelieved
betrayal passionately suggests
Our future- parallel in jest
From jumping many potholes
Freewheeling college enterprises
Found my candle beside a manhole
Your tongue is dirty like fame...

All of this unrelieved tension
Between you and me
Sounds of near sudden death
Softly overbearing
Plot your dispositions carefully
You would find yourself wrapped around the tree
It should have been me
I should have taken your place
Unglue your painful misconception
Of the world you might miss
It took a day and a...
