on the wings

seduced by transient desire
love-struck Icarus falls to abysmal depths

but though you don't know

                  I betrayed you, down I go

seasoned with a pinch of salt
extracted from abysmal oceans

fog covers the bier 
coffin on moaning shoulder
whitish grey the tears 
leaves in icicles dripping
cold shrouded abysmal love

Slay me now, and take a solemn vow,
Men can't say I might have died this way,
Thrust me through, and make it strong and true.
I'm a wreck, but long live the king Abimelech....

Me a forgotten poem in a forgotten paradise.

Me an incomplete story in an abysmal world.

Me a spectator in the spectacular crowd.

Me just another face in the infinite crowd.

What you sight is soon lost
    as soon as the silence blinks
    only memory still triggers...
    what was the bid taken
     present-past instant
    enter the large windows
     from the abysmal oblivion......

Alliteration in FALSE (5)

Forever fake forced friendly folk
Always arguing about abysmal atrocities
Loosely lying learned loves lavishly
Sending sinful sulci surrounding synopsis
Enveloping ears everywhere earnestly ending...

now sunless days on automatic pilot
skies from greys to blues to violet
feigning composure while on edge

It comes in waves
One moment 
Drowning
Gulping for air
Wishing 
The world away
In an abysmal  of fear


Then, the tide turns
Currents change
Swimming 
Doing the backstroke 
Wishing 
The world to stay
With a blissful tear...

Nevermore 





Never in my dreams
could I construe his intent,
As always ersatz...
Abysmal tears of content
dry up in deceit sometimes.

YOU

Your 
Uncaring eyes
Push me 
Repulsively 
Praise me down 
In a pit of abysmal. 
Your balance ego 
Keeps me on the void
Painted walls
Hidden truth

Take heed
While I, 
Twitch
Bitter 
Words 
Of yuck
Behind your back.

he would not avoid the void any longer
like a cliff hanger he dangled at the abys
abysmal emotions told him to leap yet
for action he searched for a jump lead
when silent retreat bonded with Self
nothingness created a vacancy for life

Secretly I cherish each moment
Serenely I wish for a renewal
Whimsically my adornment sways with the breeze
As softly and tearily I recall each past liase
Sweet serendipity completes this abysmal morrow
As I recount my blessings despite my sorrow...

Breathing tedious life into a heedless cadaver,
 Peering over barbed wire to see the edge of never,
 Building on the ashes of love that branded the heart painfully slow,
 Deteriorating hopes plunge deep to the abysmal stillness only received once below....

Siren or sea nymph queen
Sea hag encircled by arms,
Serenity isn't her domain--
Silent swarm of suction cups
Tell secrets to the mistress
Enchantress of deep dreams
Dark abyss of abysmal kelp beds,
Belies the smile she keeps
Kindled on her maidens face....

Life wobbling in cacophony
Quietude niche deep within
State of 'I am' perceived
At the fork of enigma
Engagement with life you choose
Abysmal path of pain of being alone
Or golden trail of glory of blissful solitude
The wakeful sleepwalk on thunderstorm.

The verse-writer

A blind optimist outfits revealing insights galore
Thwarts the swirling world and faith restores
Aimless existence outwardly alchemizes
A scoundrel,a seraph and a lunatic in him domiciles

Yet,the poet secretes abysmal anguish in privacy
Does camouflage a mental deranged stability...

All the sorrow and pain
Breaking hearts, falling rain
Inspiring feelings so dismal
Dark doubts that are abysmal
It is almost like a sensation
Nothing alive in creation
Grieves like this degradation

What are you to me?
I am en kindle earth.
You are abysmal sky.
I feel your shadow.
You enjoy my fragrance.
I face your anger thunderbolt.
you drench my thirst.
I adore you.
I endear you.
I respire of you.
You're rudiment of me.
I can never stretch to you.
You can never stoop down to me.
What are you to me?...

I presumed I perceived an abysmal sigh
The last time I called on my mother's sepulcher
She was though in agreeable amity thereby
Wallowing in God's vicinity and altar

No sooner had I my eyes sealed
She cropped up and resolved the zephyr
Annotating the decencies we've alas spoiled
Ascribe their soul tumult and sever....

Such a jumble of chaotic discord
Easily jangled by the irritations of living
Where there is a lull in the wailing sirens
Life can only be torture and torment
An abysmal betrayal
A howling inferno
But life is a fire in which each burns
To erase all the derisions and humiliation
In a world full of ailments and faults......
