The Best Poem Of monica kaluag

Law Of No Return

Vague dust settles in the humid desert

The afternoon has been long

I am tired and need some comfort

But with the clouds I do not belong



I have adapted to my lifestyle as a wild cat

Without time for excuses I kill my prey

I have survived the depression munching on rats

But as disgusted as any other, I try to break away



Sick of seeing the fortunate

Subtly watching their lies

In silent vengeance I long to snap and stake

But because it’s not in my nature to quickly pounce

I will simply have to wait



I scavenge for something different

And just hope to make a change

But as one I know I cannot defeat

The flock’s power in my way



Foresee the candle-lit future

Silently ease the process’s pain

I reach out to catch nirvana

As the darkness threatens to cut fate



So here I am as I used to be

Miserable, for I couldn’t succeed

This future is not what I wanted it to be

Frustrated, here I sleep



Unable to accept the past

That I could’ve pounced earlier then

The past is there

And this I fear

Its law of no return
