Rings of Smoke

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

amusement

probably these nights are never here now,

somethings have changed,or us,

or probably the love has died,

and no more do we pass the nights waking,

finding patterns of life in amorphous stardust,

bathing in the dark silver light of the nights…

so many deaths we have lived,you and i,

for the life of love;

independent warriors and yet slaves to destiny,

puppets on strings,we have tried so many times to break free,

and failed,hating each other for our strength,

and ourselves for the weaknesses,we have yet lived on,

in hope,dusty,sodden with dreamblood,

ugly,speckled with the remnants of imploding desires,we have yet tried,

and now are tired,puppets on strings..

slaves to destiny.

such small time,and we learnt to hate each other,for the love we bore,

yearning like a physical pain,

we would die for the other,perhaps…just not live for,

cringing under the smug sneers of the Gods,

scared and amused at the same time,we also laughed,

at us,our desperation,and our certain failure…

and we lost,but still won some madcap laughs,

blinding,swirling strands of silver flashing in the postdawn gloom,

tearing the light of reality,

we have learnt to amuse ourselves,on ourselves…

having lost everything…

    **we have learnt to amuse ourselves,on ourselves…

    thanx kesh for dropping in to my new home..

    yes..that probably is better..but then it might be bitter too(notice the pun..i recentlly learnt it)..a sort of sardonic humor..dark and scathing at times..self-destructive at others..but then..such is life too..at times for some people, at most times for others….

    they have a saying babe..be happy while you can..because the gods may fulfil your wishes….but what can one do? one does not look for redemption..one looks for humor in irony…

    true…I like ur sense of humor Deips..it rocks.

    My humor is my strongest survival trait. Even as Im dying I’d laugh out loud.

  • 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.
