Sunk Poems - Poems about Sunk

Birds fruitless trees forsake, Swans and cranes leave dried lake, Courtesans scarce to wealth-less cling, Counsellors leave a corrupt king, Honey bees flee from lifeless flower, Beasts forsake a forest on fire, Motive-dunk men in self are sunk, In this world, who to whom is dear? __________________________ Translation |17.08.2024| free verse, love, self-interest...

Self appraising himself as a monk awake, immune from life's outcomes, always elated, he woke up one morning and began to shake, quaking in fear, so had to be sedated.

When you release the words, your curled fingers burst into flame. It was an ancient filth, a bird fighting in the mud- house of quote-unquote. Someone navigated over the bald heads to find a landing place for a cuckoo. Between real and fiction, you cannot write a hymn in praise of satan, called god. I am done with the...
