Recons Poems | Examples


She Knows Not

She knows not, when she was made
To wear the shackles, and rest in pain

It's been ages since she opened those eyes 
Which are lying under so many layers

She can see but the windows are not her own 
She can hear but the drums are of someone else

The Rind around her is tight & suffocating
She is the reason the Rind exists

Does It know?? Does It appreciate??
What if she tear it apart and flee?
And why doesn’t she? 
What pledges have enchained her? 
Or she too recons flying a sin!!

Eternity is still calling its missing partner 
Bells of the Heaven are ringing 

But she hears nothing, for the walls are high
And thick... even celestial voices won't penetrate it

Caged in a body, & bodily needs
She is losing her connections with Eden

                                            (Paghunda Zahid )

Rave In the Grave

Rave in the Grave


the party of eternity
forever they arrive
the final ticks of tocking
no one gets out alive
see her clad in raven black
she is the reapers mate
keeper of the hallowed ground
she greets them at the gate
to pass along the judgement
the outcome of their fate

beneath the vulture's circle
where gloom and darkness thrive
Raven carves your epitaph
this one did not survive
no one can escape from here
you cannot permeate
she never has been stood up
she's been on every date
so she recons you will be on time
no one is ever late

if my play on words disqualifies me 
there are some things i just can't help
I make my own "Footprints in the Snow"	`

Forgotten By Them All

Far from the set...
The sun still drowns;
Where land meets end,
And the light still bounds.
A sound that carries... 
For an echo so faint;
Leaves ears to dance,
And dreams in the wait...

The long lost rant...
Forgotten by them all.
In front of me so distant,
The surroundings seem to fall;
While within this rising smoke,
A soul sits in refuge...
And the mist that consumes,
Never leads to what ensues...

As fate recons,
We're unlikely to forget...
A world upon these shoulders,
And a life without regret.
While the sun drifts to down...
As the street lights shine;
A world lays to rest,
While the rest look to find...

Searching for something worth remembering,
Or at least not to miss;
Just some words for recollecting,
Until this story fits...
For these memories seem curses,
Taunting my world so very small...
Nothing worth holding onto here,
Destined to be forgotten... by them all.
