Lithic Poems


War


Scattered around is destruction and debris blast-
Things rendered shapeless and futile ,but to ooze
Disgust and infinitely depressing misery profuse;
What was a pleasure  and intact heaven, is lost !

Paralysed life  and sickly breath is just a doom;
What came up in the spirit and sprouts of affinity,
And the blooming faith  finds its end to infinity; 
Intense fire has left behind the engirdling gloom  

                                                                                    
Weird ambition and endless greed do always swell :  
All pursuits and desires fulfilled,man doth chase
 The vain, 'undo' prompts of the hidden mind base 
That blind the vision of the ensuant horror sequel 



From the  lithic to the vicious  latent missile,
Devouring pathos,Rage has stretched  its arm; 
The charm of living is lost in death and sick harm
The  extant essence of survival is lost in a while

 
Gone are twitters,chirps and the fresh pearly dew
The blessing sunrise and the sweet cool  breeze;  
Dissenting  waves are churning the settled seas
Old order merges with the ruined past for the new!

Sanguine Screams

Black beyond frozen shores,
Stellar winds blowing spawn.
Pocked lunar lithic pores,
Barren buds blooming dawn.
Shiny crust over mossed,
A young garden’s dew.
Moldy peach luster lost,
Glow spiders hazy blue.
Spores pulsate swelling nodes,
Shrieking howls grunting sounds.
Shrooms lactate yelling toads,
Shadow wolves' hunting grounds.
Silken silvered moon beams,
Silent short sanguine screams.

Premium MemberLattice of Oneness

Carved of one stone strong, you and I
In our texture same lattice lie
Oneness binds our grains together.
Eroding times' wrath can’t alter 
Twined heart's tie even if they try.

On our common strength we rely
People don't fail to wonder why
In diverse life stature we are
Made of one stone.

On us, time a river flows by
Souls shine, two minds fuse, petrify
On face of lithic still mirror
We see us made for each other.
For final sleep on bed we’ll lie 
Made of one stone.

Statue and Mercury

Statue and Mercury



                                                Statue

                                   mono-lithic, massive

                            Shining, captivating, radiating

                 Glimpse lifts soul ; tarnishes precious gold

                            Dissolving, poisoning, reacting

                                     Silvery, liquid-metal

                                                Mercury
