Best Poems Written by Ekta Lakhera

Blindfold

I’m blinded by malice and jealousy fills my soul

all the sinners are done with,mine ; the last show.

 

I blindfold twice around my head

no self-righteous man I might see

no truth, no law, no nice

no good shall pass through me.

 

I’m nothing but one echo

in this pool of millions serenading a whim

give it to God, it has been given

so sinners shall continue the sin.

 

I never seek the light ,

in the dreary corners of my heart

a closet full of nibbled carcasses,

hope, a sculptor’s best piece of art.

 

I sin in aggression, I sin in pain

then sinning with a  gin and tonic

and sinning becomes a game.

 

who father in heaven, if heaven might be

should banish me in hell for all eternity

for never is a man completely happy,

mortals do chase that unattainable win

 

Me, I’ve lost the fear of losing

some losing it has been

I fasten the knot behind my head

so sinners shall continue the sin.
