Short Enshrouded Poems

The bare, leafless trees
Enshrouded by snow and ice
A winter beauty...

A shadowed hood
Enshrouded eyes
Sackcloth enslaving
Cowled monk smile
Shuffling....

The calling of a raven,
Its cawing shape and black,
Answering the valley
Its mist mist enshrouded peak....

how deep the well,
the water shall,
flow like history,
maverick man,
did all to plan,
left his mark, the firebrand,
smoke enshrouded mystery...

an enshrouded dawn
all lost in thick orange mist
in a one hued world

redbirds are waiting
with their celebration song
a tune that's agelong

tangy dewy blooms
of a vivid magic morn
wait for butterflies...

While fitful, impetuous, tears force to submissive dirge
an enshrouded grey shadow within mine afflicted heart.
In ghastly, pallid emptiness; beguiling Azrael does cajoles.
"Ah, Tis only, immolation that can enchant and subdue Azrael."

EVENING
     Eye catching hue of sky
     Entraps diffuse daylight
     Ephemeral, fleeting
     Enshrouded by dark night.
     Enamouring splendour
     Enthuses poets mind
     Evokes celestial pride!

The boy heard the familiar tune
wafting through the radio at midnight
as he lay alone in his bed, enshrouded
in darkness – “to be a rock and not erode”
cautioned the singer, but the boy
could not help but wonder
who his girl was making love to that night
and he could not help but cry....

Dark and mysterious
-- You are my greatest fear
Rapt and enshrouded
-- There's nothing I can hear

Penetrating intersection exuding me dry
Excruciating pain.. Oh! How I beg for peace..
Can you see my tears? They dried as I cry
My clock is fading so, can I at last be at ease?

Flames of passion, enshrouded soul
fire consumed, deep burns inside
the flames sizzled, the embers glow
hotter than volcanic lavas  glide.

Fire brighter than the starry night
sweet  kisses, juices steaming, pure
igniting, intensifying in ultimate delight
passion fire, his caress, his touch, assures.

Dark clouds encircled the majestic peaks
 Hovering, lingering, around the tips
 Hiding the summit above.
  Enshrouded in thick mist
  dark, like a mysterious enigma.
  Swirling and dancing to the winds refrain.
 Clearing for only a moment,you glimpse
  Casting your eyes on peaks
  that have stood centuries of time.

Losing that one thing that is so important
Out of nowhere comes that strange feeling
Suddenly you are enshrouded in darkness
That everything you do it has no meaning

How your perspective has now changed
Only those seeking help will actually get it
Please try to focus that thing can change
Every one deserves the best that you give...

Nether Light

Light shrouded in surreal fog
Glows dimly 
Casting eerie shadows
concealing danger
Masking the reality
of the darkness
Light enshrouded in the eerie mist
shines ominously
Casting a cloak of doom
 over  our perception of well being
Stealing away our peace
destroying our solace
Leaving in its place chaos and anxiety
mayhem and confusion...

As my doleful gaze upon thy form hath fallen,
Garbed in the fashion of sadness or mourning,
Nightly tresses thy sombre tone adorning,
Decadent and beauteous, as a Seraph fallen.

A woebegone faerie with wings lost and broken,
Enshrouded in blackness, a sepulchral lady,
With thy pallid skin and thy heart so shady,
Thou art a graveyard angel who seldom has spoken....

You wait
In chortled glee
Time’s ticking toll
Sharpening itself
‘neath your dark robe

And I
Poor fool
Fear not your sting
As naught is left
But tatters
Of past now’s

And you
Life’s dark companion
Have counted every step
Held sway
Lest I falter
Seasoned my errors
With adrenal angst

I wait
In grimaced glee
Enshrouded
In an endless
Thinning veil
Awaiting

Gift of Wings
(Return To Innocence)


I'll bid you goodbye,
Before I lose the power
To shake-off your venomous love,
Yhat had enshrouded my vestal heart
From the first time
I saw,that
Angelic smile.

Because everytime
I try to throw my wings
To touch andride the clouds;
And everytime I get so near you
To see your shining eyes;
It only let me reaize,
How high you are!

And how far
We are apart....

I stare as you walk
away from me, enshrouded
in mist never again to be
seen...I'm  no more your beloved...

It's hard to know I'll
never see your smile again,
but its me who pushed you
out, me who caused you pain.

I loved you once,
and I'll love you forever
even if destiny demands
that we shan't be together.

I guess this is goodbye,
goodbye forever.
I might move on,
but forget you? never!...

The eerie fog enshrouded all.
It conquered my vision,
with it's menacing creep.
It rolled in so dense,
so self contained.
My imagination, ran wildly
in this thick mist.
Just when, I though it abated
It consumed me again.
Gravitating me to the spot
move I could not.
Like a master of illusion
Things appeared and disappeared
from my sight.
Moving slowly, catching glimpses
as it opened a window for me....

The dense fog drapes all like a soft wool shawl
Morn's sun tries to peek through silver gray clouds
But those game roosters crow long_their pride show
God's creatures sing praise some soft_others loud
Rippled clouds (like sands upon a beach lands)
Float upon the eastern sky enshrouded
Caught up in this dense damp fog_ rain's evidence

Here I lie, enshrouded
by the orangery aura cast by
the fading rays of a setting sun
I have long waited for sunrise
I sit at the brink of yesterday
wrapped in the arms
of this lingering night, I await
it's ambience to descend
on me like warm sunrays

Here I wait, my heart
benumbed, my soul
in hibernation I await
rebirth, singing lullabies
to the moon, attempting
to lull it to sleep
for the sun to awaken
and pull its crown through
a crowd of lambent clouds....
