Self Immolation Poem by Valsa George

Well written if somewhat dark tale but when the body's gone all that's left is the soul and that is immortal is my belief.

oh wat a write! there lies a suspense in this poem if the make up artiste had a last minute change of mind before fully dousing with flames and turning into ash..........People often get carried away and burden themselves with lot of worries, get depressed and decide to end their life...........forgetting that there is always a way to make a better start tomorrow................God gives us life, it should be left to Him to take it away too....... Also the start of the poem is wonderful..........had to read back again after I finished the poem reading once....that one has the talent and can do wonders by living in this beautiful earth, but somehow take wrong decisions to put an end to everything without realising ones capabilities. a gud write Mam a gud write Mam......

Recetly I found a well known Prof. committed .... really not good life turns into... Her cheeks made red with rouge And her lips glossed in cherry red But the makeup artist, before Seeing the magic of his deft touch By some sudden mental derailment In a bid at self immolation, Set fire to himself

Questions will always remain after a self-immolation bid or attempted suicide or ever an attempt to save a victim. A nice write.

what depth they hold, Valsa, the last two lines!

It is a beautiful poem on sunset based on metaphor having haunting expression with touching penmanship. So interesting to read over and over again. This poem is going to my poem list. Thanks for sharing this gem.10/10

A wonderful poetic imagination...................10

This poem is about sunset whether I am guessing it right or not still I am sure it is about the sun and its sunset.....VALSA....great imagery and the best composition I have ever read......10

Great write, imagination. Many says sunset is very depressing, but I feel when you are feeling low, you it is depressing and when are in joyous mood, you feel the same sunset as the end of misery and hope for fresh start, sunrise very soon after. So its looking at the half filled glass!

This is poem written with great imagination. Nature's make up artist applying all colorful touches plunges into waters below. What could be the cause of sudden mental derailment? Or is it sudden excitement of his achievement? Beautiful choice of words and great expression. I thank you for patiently explaining poem in detail. All my vagueness in understanding have been cleared.
