Haunted Verses Poem by Indranil Bhaduri

Haunted Verses

Rating: 4.6


It's a haunted shadowy night,
Sailing in my dream boat
I intensely try to glide through
The rough patches and murky sights,
The brutal views help me transform
Gradually into an evil spirit,
After killing my conscience and soul
During daylight..

And then I roar with lunatic laughter
On the failed trial of silencing
The deadly whispers of Satan..
As you and me
Were turning into naked bloody vampires
Penning the near future,
Reciting the total extinction of mankind.

I know for sure,
That darkness will rule,
As I am the ugly devil,
Determined to swallow
This world with its remaining life,
To create a black haven
Renamed as Hell..

It's time to bite the dust and view,
How it feels to kiss
A devil in disguise….
Embrace the malignant spirits
And bring on the destruction
Of peaceful life..

Here I wait for that day,
When you, me and all of us
In this beautiful earth
Will turn insane and crawl with glee
As bloodshed will paint the soil
And colour the oceans red,
To celebrate the devastation done
By ourselves, all the way…

This is called Rudra Ros in Bengali, I think. But very true. Because, we are in the age of decadence where people lack sense of values as if the evil power has taken hold of us.

Respected Mr. Rick Elpers, firstly I would like to thank you for reading through the humble contribution of mine and penning your valuable comments. Here, I would like to draw your kind attention towards certain points which I had in mind while penning the above lines. Sir, my objective of writing the poem is to make ourselves aware that human beings themselves are transforming into evil forces, or to be precise, the devil and inviting the gradual decline of mankind and destruction to this beautiful world. We have been indulging in warfare, hatred against each other, going for harmful experiments which are detrimental to nature, polluting the environment and so on and so forth, which we really cannot ignore. The beautiful nature has started shedding its tears due to this gradual devastation and we fear the end of this world. That's where I would like to draw the attention. Sir, if you read my other works, they have also covered the pure and delicate feelings of romance, positivity, love etc. and I do not deny those at all. Here, this was written on a totally different angle which I personally feel couldn't be ignored. Thank you once again. With deep regards, Indranil

I find this disturbing. Certainly powerful. Your talent is clear. But I don't like the content, sorry. I have a tendency toward god and the beauty of His influence, even when pain is all there is. I know He is there walking, protecting, loving. Please keep writing, you are on your way to becoming a well versed poet.

Yes. I find it quite invigorating my friend! The inner conflict of a man who is in front of N number of choices (Parden my language as some 'unpoetical' words and uses may creep in) . The conflict of who we are and what we want to be. The inner psychopath inside every one! This is defenitely an exceptional poem! Enjoyed much!
