Rings of Smoke

These poems do not live: it's a sad diagnosis.

Song

PART-I

let us speak of songs tonight,
of screaming music and staggering refrains-
devolution of life detailed on air,
in wafting,whistling,trembling strains-

let the music flood the heart,
let the molten iron course the vein,
the voids be filled with bars of rebellion,
and tonight,let defiance be born again.

but design the words,design the strains,
for music is rebellion,but the words are fire,
let all your fears subside,let your heart leap,
in flames of shimmering,shocking desire.

music,music,words of song,
fragments of soul coursing the skies above,
touch the sun and wipe out the stars,
let beyond galaxies your vision rove.
———————————————-
PART-II

but songs are quiet,though music beats on in the heart,
lonely,lonely,scared no dreams survive..
the soul has submitted,the spirit surrendered,
no more do tired,trudging words the mind drive.

malignant simulations of a terrible pathos,
the clouds cackle from their eyries above,
stumbling,exhausted,blind and ghostly,
the soul cries out a requiem for love….

  • About The Line under the Blog Name

    The lines generally are from some poem which I have, at some point of time or the other, loved. I do not mean, by including them, to be snotty or pretentious- but I would love it if you could identify the lines, and take much joy if you were interested enough to search them and read the original poems. If not- you can ignore them.
