Premium Member Eyes in Fireglow



        Mesmerised
  by glowing hot coals
  flickering flames flash.
 I stare and watch a spider
         run for life

     Turns around
 finds an unburnt log
  at last a way out.
Quick spider run I say
     phew made it!

A Pyromaniacs Prayer

Oh my friendly flames
Flicker, fade and dance
Lash out at the this night sky
Singe my regrets of yesterday
And make ashes of my broken promises
Leaven unburnt only the inflammable truth
Let the embers simmer and raise up like a phoenix
Spread your wings and scorch narrow a trail of hope
That i may follow to its end where i shall falter and fall
And at that time i will call again upon you to flicker, fade and dance against my night skies

Poetic Living

I am introspective
I am extrospective
I am healing my ills
I am building my will

I narrate
I assimilate
I am making sound out of ink
I am settling a drifting idea till it sinks 

I memorise
I picturise
I am hanging onto the past 
And yet embracing the future

I am reciting
I am writing
I am burning the unburnt
I am learning the unlearnt

I am not a poet yet until I get
The will
To sink
Into the future
Weaponised by what I have learnt

Food Was Left On the Plate

For you
I am walking on rocks
holding unburnt match sticks,
you want me to throw them
behind me.

To step down in lake
for washing sins
from the snuffed out
skylights.
Between green and blue I climb on leaves.

Remained pygmies
till end,
in frail human relationships.
All that we saw, was only for ourselves
in questions and replies.

Wasting shine of titles,
followed by empty looks.
Nothing remained to be said.
Food was left on the plate
untouched.

Friendship

Friendship floats freely like waterfalls,
Falling down from on high. They spray
Welcoming mist, we breathe into our lungs.
Friends are like tides rolling in, receding again.
Letting us breathe a peaceful solitude, if that is
Our mood and stories are shared without
Judgement, ridicule or rules of engagement.
Our defense against a sometimes cold, cruel world.
Friends part freely, crossing our unburnt bridges
With gates left open. Invisible sign says
             "Please Come Again".
