Who Am I.... Poem by Xelam Kan™

Who Am I....

Rating: 4.6


Who am I?
An angelic soul or Lucifer`s lamb?
In the midnight hours
When facing the fair sky,
I find my heart numbed with broken pride;
Like a forsaken bride
To whom her groom lied.
And I question my extreme sensitivity
Why it kills my calm and creativity.

All my charm and glory is gone–by
Like a darkness, wraps from the sky.
The hissing and rattling sound of the air
Pops up my fears and tears,
And echoes in an unheard melody;
Tense, distress and full of tragedy.
Why I have been stricken by worldly fame
That turned me into a devil's tame.

Ah! all my Quixote's schemes:
“To build an El Dorado upon Hades` realm”
Was a Judas` kiss.
Will I have that promised bliss?

Walking near to water surface, looked down, another you below your feet, stand staring you.. dont believe it, its not your soul inside the water, its a mirror like mirage in the desert Feel what life has give in your own body, then you will know which side is true as you_Soul

Hmmmmm a question of which most of us try to answer but never succeed, man, a blend of good and evil, God and devil, there is always a struggle inside between these two forces, very good write

This is a very powerful write Gulsher.... In few lines you have conveyed your existential angst! ! The poem ends with a weighty interrogation! ! At times we wonder if man is an angelic soul or Lucifer's lamb! !

Wow! Why I have been stricken by worldly fame That turns me into a devil's tame. I think that maybe fame and power are the hardest things to ressist. We can fight pain, hunger, or draught, but fame? Oh that could melt our soul into a proud mass of emptiness, the home of loveless...I have not read the book but I have found so many things to nod, your poem surely made me think and feel more than I'd do on a mere day. Thank you!
