Parched Lips Poem by Satish Verma

Parched Lips

Rating: 5.0


Nothing to look forward
I return my gifts today.
Completely denuded I will spread out in emptiness.

I was nowhere in the circle of untruths,
the pain was slipping inside
and self-denial took its toll.

Nomad in exile
for the kiss of unknown
wandering in whispering streets.

There was no more remorse.
Saffron was the choice of pathos.
A collective suicide of pledges in the sun!

Parallel grief of desert and wind
offers the plundered toast
I drink to my parched lips.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Lantz Pierre 01 February 2017

Either the holy sister or the convicted criminal. Dry crusts of bread, water from a ladle in a bucket. Blood. The course work of darkness can only be learned in light. A candle made from the labors of a bee. The queen will perish having done nothing but conceive.
