Farewell 2008 Poem by C. P. Sharma

Farewell 2008

Rating: 4.3


(Agenda 2009)

This year I sang songs of body,
Its love and beauty’s rhapsody,
Passions long trail they embody
With their rhythm slip shoddy.

Next year I shall alternate
Oldest Scripture and illusion spate;
From where the life originate,
Grandiose of the passion’s gate!

The story of the Divine Womb
How from the chaos tomb?
Desire of creation aplomb
How heaven earth did bloom?

From above great waters flowed,
There the flame of spirit glowed;
There the first word was heard,
Later faith and knowledge gird.

Then five senses devise:
Ears and beautiful eyes,
Sensuous feel, smell surprise,
Sensuality without vice.

Later came the great divide:
Time and distance’s slide,
The sun-moon seek and hide,
The earth adored as bride.

Forest of goodness for food,
On the divine spirit to brood;
Nature’s beauty stood nude,
The world today calls it rude.

This starts the satanic fights
The tirade of human delight
Decision about wrong and right
Clash between right and might

Sometimes we die for right!
Sometimes power death invites!

CP, I have to be honest, I liked the contents of which you painted here, but I find it personaly hard to relate, or maybe too controvercial, or too religious if you will.. But other than that you have done a good job... Happy healthy New year to you.... Bonnie

Maybe one day we will all be right? It is with senses I enjoy the beauty of our universe, yet desires to keep can spoil my vision. C.P. I look forward to more of your wise creations next year. I wish you a creative and happy 2009.

I enjoyed the monorhythmic for mat and the broad sweep of the content Chandra Next year I shall live as if every day is my last try to enjoy each and every sensation I am allowed as i am intended to. age may lessen abilities in some ways but compensates in other ways I find

And I notice something new about your poetry at the end of 2008. It becomes very emotional, as if coming stright from the heart.
