Elegy For My Soul Poem by Vignesh Ravishankar Shanmugam

Elegy For My Soul

Rating: 4.8


Deep down me,
Recedes a voice,
Gone with it's poise,
An echo of a knight,
A relentless warrior,
Fought peacfully on his will's behalf,
Thought gregariously to mend the world,
Feigned by the beauty,
Torn by the harsh reality,
Lost his eccentricity.

Oh! there recedes the voice,
Voice of the dumb,
Left with it's flesh and bone,
Borne to mourn,
Tears alone to drown the soul,
Receded the voice,
Dumped me heartless, painless,
To face the crooked world.

The poem pregnant with thoughts. It is the crisis of the deaf culture.... It never dumps, it always jumps, we have no ear, we have our own fears, whole life is tears and jeers. CP
