Premium Member Melancholy


The tapestry of the indigo sky,
weaved with lattice of silver cloud, 
merges with the still sea in the blues.
The dislodged boulders of cognitive debris
strewn away from the waterfront of desire,
the broken dreams epitomized.

The anchorless empty boat 
drifts away from the shore of longing,
harboured by desolation,
lodged lonesome in the sanctuary 
of the rocky ledge of fortitude.

In the ruins of my splintered heart,
I listen to the voice of the anguished soul,
the mutilated construct of recluse precinct,
encasing the stifling loneliness of poignant prison
where the psyche languishes relentless
within invincible travail, 
negating the hope perspective 
in the clutch of mental affliction. 

The cauldron of dissonance, 
remote from the rhythm of life,
its void filled with drops of depression in adagio. 
My dormant desires are demolished,
the malleable mind yields to nostalgic purport,
melancholy swathes the remnant yearning.

Inspired by Melancholy, Edvard Munch.

Premium Member Free From Your Allure


Inspired by FUNK album song: We shall be free

In the whispering air I hear 
the beguiled birds sing for you,
as the sequins of sunburst sky 
flushes your fascinating face.
how endearingly attractive you’re to me, 
I know mesmerized, but you’ve no clue.

In the seamless sky of my yearning,
I let the enraptured songbird fly 
from my fervent heart to soar high,
glide on spring-scented amorous breeze,
carry on their rhythmic wings 
your jasmine fragrance to me, you don't sense.

My fervor flies to the glint of your eyes,
where a nostalgic nest I build, 
make it my remote retreat of joy.
When in storm of sorrowful surge
I fondly shelter my love there,
how content it is, you’ve no idea.

Your charming voice enticing evermore, 
ripples in the silence of my yearning, 
echoes with the melody of my resonant heart.  
When it delights me to the brim, 
gives me the touch of closeness,
how complete I feel, you don’t realize.

When you leave me in deep dismay, 
trace the trail of melting mirage,
I feel deserted like a dislodged sand grain, 
rolling in dry tears on the desolate dune.
How hopelessly my pent-up words ‘I love you’
I say to me with a lonely sigh, you don’t hear.

When you want me to disappear, 
all my dreams blaze in an inferno.
I breathe the smoke of the burnt memory,
piled up in the ruins of my desolation, 
merged with the splinters of desire,
free from your allure, you don’t know.

Hapless Collapse

Spring necked victim 
                  Will be decked again
                  For pure amusement 
                Of fast pummelling fists
 
              Layered bruise symptoms 
              Display punching bag pain
               No retaliation movement
            While heavy assault persists

               Swung away, come back
                For more of life's abuse 
                 Copping it on the chin
               Brings rhythm of survival 

             Waiting for following whack
                 Knuckle impact profuse
                 Tenderised gums begin
                  To resettle sidewards

                  Jutted out awkwardly 
                  Jaw a crooked angle 
               Punished and punched up
               Laughs with sinister taint
  
              Prospect guaged morbidly 
                 From unwieldy wrangle
           Sippping from near empty cup
              Limping with wounded gait 

                   Fractured face suffers
                Receipt of endless blows 
                 Dislodged red teeth spat
                 Are metallic meant to be 

                  True opinions muffled 
             Turn other cheek advice goes 
               Superbly for great diplomat 
                  - For irate me, dismally

Premium Member Wish Somebody Would'Ve Told Me

In the desolate desert of my forlorn life,
I wander across the desiccating dunes you make.
Enticed by your impulsive mindscape,
I saunter in the sandstorm of the dismal time. 

My longing languishes to lie
in the sensuous shade of the oasis of your love,
sheltered from the abandoning squall,
away from the dreary bleakness of the wasteland. 

The yearning lost in the debris of the broken heart,
I amble sullen with the silent sense of sorrow. 
My emotions swirl like the dislodged sands
in the tide of remote time when you were mine.

The transient flame trajectory of devoured desire
furrows in my mind a blazing trail of craving, 
I wish I could tread the track of the shooting star,
even if it fades away like the flicker of your love.

Sleeping at the desolate edge of the lonely night,
I see you shine as a star in my dream sky,
sparkles for a while and disappear forever, 
I feel disheartened, I haven’t dreamt enough.

I drift now across the dire topography of denial,
the sun of desertion has smoldered my desire,
Realizing mirage designs delusion with sands of time, 
I wish somebody would’ve told me.

Premium Member Retrieving the Golden Moments

The sun-soaked shining valley of his lucent life
Drained the symphonic cadence of ecstatic rills
Swirling around the scattered glint of nuggets
Cascaded with the cadence of gilded instants.

Dislodged sentiments in stream of euphoria 
Floated unbound in turbulent tides of time
In the torrent of the cloud-burst fallen sky
Flowed in the flood to terminal obscurity. 

In search of transported treasure trove eroded
Buried beneath the strata of stagnant sludge
He was the first to wade in the sunk murky past
Mudlarked in the desolate bay in twilight hour. 

In the lilac light of the setting sun fading fast
Each time the surged tide of turmoil ebbed out
He scavenged the mud of memory layer by layer 
Retrieved the golden moments he lived to adore.

If Only I Were a Flower

Torn from your life 
Like a weed from a garden, 
Not caring of my feelings 
Or even asking my pardon. 

Mindlessly dislodged 
And left to wither and die, 
Not even given the chance 
To tell you goodbye. 

My love no longer worthy, 
My caring no longer wanted, 
And the pain that I feel 
I will forever be haunted. 

But I hold tight to my resolve 
And hold my head high 
As I choke down the tears 
And refuse now to cry. 

I know in my heart 
Even after I’m gone, 
My love for you still 
Forever lives on. 

It lives in the soil 
Where my roots still remain, 
Tattered and torn 
But alive just the same. 

So like a weed in a garden 
It will grow once again, 
In the same exact spot 
Where once I had been. 

It will grow strong and proud 
Replenished and new, 
With kindness and caring 
To give only to you. 

To watch over and protect you 
And give you its love, 
As I painfully watch you 
From the heavens above. 

If only I were a flower 
Succulent and ornate, 
Maybe I would not have had 
To suffer this fate.

Premium Member Queen of Seasons

QUEEN OF SEASONS  
   
      Spring, the queen of seasons steps in.
       Entrance on elegance with sheen,
       stitching luminous lace to glow. 
        Ambient gleams in frolic flow.
                                         
      Splendid Spring is trove of treasure.
      Abloom blossoms bringing pleasure.
      Dry leaves already to escape
      Glossy leaf-buds try to take shape.
      
      Spring aspiring zest, zeal and zing.
     Symphony of cheers as birds sing.
      Dulcet sunshine in cheerful charm      
      Sky in delighted decorum.

     Dislodged petals chased by Spring gust.
    Pollen in air whirling with dust.
    Zephyr kissing leaves to shiver.
    Eager heart wants to be giver.
   
   Floating romantic aroma
    in flowery panorama.
     Spring resonating in amour
     with gorgeous graceful glamour.    

  Spring in Nature, Spring in my mind
   Lost forgotten love to rewind.
   Resurrection of warmth from cold.
   Wish something to tell still untold.

Premium Member Grace and Solitude

Like a dislodged lonely leaf my mind floats far away,
on the quiet river of dreams from life’s cacophony, 
to a placid cobalt lake on serene visage of display,
soaking the azure melody of singing sky’s euphony.

On the bank stands the petrified tree I have lost, 
the stilled supine branches don’t sway any more.
Its static shadow on the lake languishes untossed, 
for the squall has found a new course to soar. 

The mystique mist drops a veil of dense solitude,
until the melting clouds descend drizzling ecstasy
with raindrops on the river’s ripples of quietude,
filling my hollow heart with alluring aria of revelry. 

The silent river flows to the shore of divine sea,
plunging deep within, the scroll of mind I unroll, 
see my engraved dreams weave at depth lonely, 
the tapestry of profound bliss for my sated soul.

Premium Member My Kryptonite

Trudging scorched in the wilderness of desiccated life
in the shifting maze of your deceptive shadow I wander,
enticed, I’m seduced by your flashing face on the mirage,
my broken heart is scattered as debris in your swathe.

I don’t know where I should be going to get belonged,
but try to sense the lure of oasis in your eluding love. 
I crumble into drifting dust in the desolate wasteland,
and blow away to obscure horizon in the desert storm.

From the tree of yearning that grew in despondency,
I’m now dislodged and meander as a withered leaf,
rustle with the tormenting tune of melancholic music,
on its journey of despair to the realm of isolation void.

Under the sweltering sun burning the façade of desire,
as I lumber worn out across the dunes of deprivation
with shifting sands of time designing myriad of illusion,
in the fiery flicker of your eyes I see my kryptonite.

Premium Member Euphoric Epithet


EUPHORIC EPITHET
disarrayed sands
derive dislodged
    from 
timeless terrain 
settle bemused
    on 
stratified shelf 
    of 
languid life
                  disorganized
    in 
dismantled moments
    of
petrified perturbation
trustworthy truth  
    on 
ruffled ripples 
    of 
disordered discontent 
                   oscillates 
    on 
bewildered efflux 
    of 
delinquent dismay
    as
metamorphosed elation 
reveals tousled 
real pretense
    of 
traumatic transmutation
    of
disquiet mind 
drowning disheveled 
    in 
distraught nothingness
    with 
splintered leitmotif 
    of 
embedded emotion
    in
sensual sandcastles 
    on 
shriveled shore 
    of 
eroded yearning
    where
psyche rises 
                 shape-shifted
    to
covert flute 
    of 
passion symphony 
plays music
    of 
ecstatic self
                 entranced
    as 
convivial concerto
                 resonates
the last refrain
    of 
melodic memory
    as
transcendent essence
    of
euphoric epithet
