A Score and Ten years

-

In youth's excesses 
yielding to pleasures
I roamed life's streets
blind to worries
The vices of past,
what shadows they cast
darkening life's sky
leaving the spirit dry
Days of morrow 
loom like stormy clouds 
whose thundering sound
smack of the befallen end
In unending madness 
I wander 
Staring into blankness
lying barren 
sighing over lost hopes, 
to the word's warmth I retreat.
Suckling texts end to beginning 
what eludes me is life's meaning
Legs go weary 
shaking to tunes of destiny
In bleeding agony
I let it go…
To start
all over again 
another score and ten years...

How many poems! Were written to you... Dissolving my soul into words I smeared it in my sweet angst... Your ugly unkindness lacerated my Being Gathering its shreds... I continue, to 'Be' In nauseating disdain I write, my last word to you: 'You are a mockery of all that is Woman' Words will be written; not to your titillating flesh,but to men and women Whose beauty lies in their intelligence; in their Character; in their fights; not in their made-up looks Turning inward I seek, to realise the Self... In reclusive musing  immersed in, pervasive consciousness

Language of the Night

The Story of Life in a Room

-
Like all the rooms that make up buildings, this too was made of brick and mortar and had a roof. The window on the West captured the green foliage of  the tri-trunk Rain tree. The one on the south overlooked the sewer flowing in sombre silence,and also offered a view of  roofs housing other lives. A being named I  inhabited the Room's space riding the wheels of time in  aimless madness. On many early mornings when sleep still  eluded the weary eyes,  a name-less bird called to say, ' yet another day was born' and woke up the day to life. On the garish days of the year,  black bees pollinated the flowers of bright pink-white hues that dotted the dark green canopy of the  Rain tree. In  late afternoons, as the sun began its descent, through the spaces between fluttering  leaves streaming rays fell on the floor in quivering patterns of light patches modulated by the leaves dancing to the afternoon winds. When the  heat seared the spirit, I pulled the dirty drapes down the w
