Smiles turn to stone
The beastly claws of time
Hunt the unsuspected
Torn wings plunge to death
Sharp pulls and twists of life
Rip the heart and make it bleed
Bursting with life a moment ago
Cold, lifeless pieces scatter
Through the savage winds of circumstance
Hand that waters, plucks the flower
The flow of life suddenly freezes
Wrapped in the folds of mystery
Will ever be the designs of destiny
Unsolved riddles through ages
Scribbled in the yellowed pages
Adding nothing to the meaning
The end is inevitable.

Sharp pulls and twists of life Rip the heart and make it bleed Bursting with life a moment ago //.... 'Will ever be the designs of destiny' understood or grasped remains the eternal question since time immemorial. Thanks for sharing a nice philosophical poem.
'Hand that waters, plucks the flower.'............! The betrayal by those who once fostered us and still remain close to us pains us much more than the stabs of our enemies! At unexpected times, from unexpected corners, assault comes ripping our hearts apart and causing endless bleeding! The designs of destiny is so very strange! A beautiful poem ruminating on the absurdities of life and destiny! Top marks, Nosheen!
great narration of the ultimate destination of a soul owner
the end is inevitable. very real and impressive. end is inevitable plus the end is a mystery too
Everyone seems helpless before the role destiny plays in one life. But the goal is fixed and moment to achieve it uncertain. The path has already been laid to be trodden. Poignant drop. Very nice.
Hi Nosheen, Smiles turn to stone; The flow of life suddenly freezes And silence is the natural choice. Unsolved riddles make life all the more difficult. That the end is inevitable, is a foregone conclusion. Very poignant, perturbing..100+
Dramatically captures the sharp-edged, indifferent, brutal cost of living in the grasp of the inevitability of life itself. A richly painted portrait of existing in a cold, unrelenting universe. Compelling and engaging, Nosheen. Another great one!
Your reflections on fate and destiny are much like mine. Your poem excellent, the images are so appropriate to depict the inevitable. A 10 except that the user rating isn't working.
