My Two Bits


Waning wiles,
Crepuscular charms;
Icy isles,
Silent storms;

Fire fighting,
Dying desire;
Wounded writing,
Instigating ire;

Warm wounds,
Cold hearts;
Breaking bounds,
Precious – parts. . .

i promise i tried v hard to find the pattern. i understood the lines individually. but the photo said a lot... beautiful

The Parish said...

Rama, now read the lines as a story. a stucatto story . . .

the big fish said...

as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...
sometimes, even more.

rama srinivasan said...

i get ur tone... u think a child would understand the workings of a highly complicated mind?
besides, there is no other way to read this than a 'staccato' story.
i will come back to the story later in life...

The Parish said...

Rama, u really think i have a complicated mind??? :-(

Life!! said...

hey you still reeling in hurt? let them wounds heal. the 2 tracks that got merged and then divided will do you good. take heart Parish

janaki_me said...

i decoded it at my level, which is quite pedestrian as far as poetry is concerned.

rama srinivasan said...

NEXT CHAPTER!

Crepscular!
Not on your Nellie!
Round midnight,
Pick up your telly
and need i tell you
what to do with it?
Nothing from without
is real. How we forget.
This fight is real.

Stories Untold said...

This is BEAUTIFUL! I can see a person here ... and yeah the twin tracks ... so Gemini!!!!!!
Agreed the words used require effort in decoding ...but once you do, a very intricate and ingenuous reality emerges!

Very well expressed!

Stories Untold said...

And one more thing that I missed, this poem displays very aptly what a roller coaster life can be!!! High tides and low tides all part of the game!!!!!

The Parish said...

Stories Untold: You made my day!

megha said...

good work this is, and true even more than good; or at least likely to be!
and it reads better without the punctuation i find
though i do so love them punctuation people, trust.

i like this space you've made yours
you'll be seeing me sir :)
