Meninges Poems | Examples


List of Member Poems

After Fall

With the eye popped he seemed ugly
Mimicking the stinking diabolical
Image of the unimaginable hungry
Whose head the slug left unstable

The slug left the shell with mucus
To end into the seas of darkness
Where he swam the wagging focus
Whose empty shell spent relentless

As he turned facing the sun
For sucking the arty warmth
It rang that he left in the shell
That son tomorrow the wrath

Unimaginable dissolution gates
Shortleaved dislocated brain
 Loin to loin joining abates
And later I wish to the strain

Before the foe for thought
Spread the bed that led
Like a slug brain shouldn't split
Deserting the meninges your Shell

For under anger and duplication
Bearings of dire aspirations
One per cent carries to locations
Later united in the desertion

The Balance, Dance and Lance of Innocence

Pillored and adulterated
Innocence flies away
Fearing to be underrated
In slimy circumstances for too long kept at bay

Until to her dismay
Innocence uncovers the mask
Behind facades that waylay
Every question innocence dares to ask

To establish the veracity
Banished so unfairly to confines
Where the truth plasticity
In the sand draws red lines

Challenging meninges
Whose yardsticks fall by the wayside
The day disturbances in sapience syringes
Opt to defend discredited personal pride.

Verisilimitude Vortex

Woven in a lava oven and driven into the pit of despondency
Where light at the end of a tunnel dims
Parents explode and implode as darkness swamps ascendancy
Leading parents to wonder if their children curse their dreams.

Challenges in meninges and syringes singe petrified parents
Whose aspirations and predictions that wayward children tear
Their world asunder in the midst of invectives, calumnies and taunts
Drive detractors to wonder why pusillanimous parents children bear.

Influenced, incensed and unbalanced in a variety of ways
Children’s personalities somersault and assault
Parents aspirations and predilections switching off rays
Teeming with hope in a satire scope to brush aside meek manners taught.

A shaft of light sometimes in parents’ shivering shrouds shines through
As parents from their uncomfortable cocoons debunk secrecy
In conversations with sent strangers to achieve a breakthrough
That restores hope, clarity and on their torture tom-tom sprinkles mercy.


Uncrushable

She sat on a template of steel forged by mortals
whose hands were stronger than that of ten trillion giants
fused together in ten fingers! 
her ambience suffocated all lungs like the sight of a hungry lion
Men of might, fame and prestige dared to devour her
but one by one, she turned their strengths to dust
and desperacy fled nakedly like a helpless widow
while uncertainty smiled like a hopeful beggar,
as fear soaked the minds that sat watching
and pessimism mopped the meninges of all

Alas! a second die is cast
deities took their turn to crush her
but it turned out otherwise
strong surprise gripped the breast of men like a quarrelsome woman
knitting her husband with mischief
I then sipped my honey- the earth's sweetest thing
but it had turned to gall!
O manly woman! should I pay tributes to you for your might
or because of the evil that you wreak?
Time indeed will tell

Exam

The sun sails along 
So does the needle
Meninges they burn
Figuring out the riddles 

Coals into the diamond turns  
Not in a million years 
Inside a volcanic eruption burns
Igniting all the fears 

Slowly consuming the dull mind
It kills away your brain 
Halting the way you cram
That’s the way its comes my friend 
The scary thing you call exam
