Mercy Damned Poem by Homen Thangjam
Mercy Damned
Heard a sound in the distance
Enchanted by its sweetness
Vibrated my heart
Trembled my soul
Soothed my turmoiled being
The voice still echoes.
Visualized a formless image perfect
Painted a portrait ecstatic
Angel of mercy begotten
Hissed a warm breathing
Felt the cold presence
The visuals still stand.
On a night of purple haze
Mercy descended on a butterfly
Dropped a lasso of rainbow
Salvaged the stranded me
Exploded my despair dark
The act remains merciful.
In a wordless lullaby soothing
Angelic smile and mockery divine
Mercy of my soul cradled me
Existence divided uncertainties
Reality disintegrated beyond life
The imprints still persist.
Dreamer and the dreamed united
Inebriated like tadpoles
Sucking ichor of bliss
Drifted down an abyss elated
Waited for the sun
The sun remains frigid.
Beautiful words about a beautiful subject...thanks for sharing this...
Lots of good content but in my opinion it is being let down by the style you chose. Too rigid, lacking flow, staccato-like. I would revisit this in a different mood perhaps and let it flow on its own so to speak. Even the occasional rhyme would not be out of place here. H
Poem expresses a lot of emotion with crying for understanding - kind of deep
Mercy Damned is a great title and your name, made me smile. The poem is superbly expressed and I would say, it is a damned good job you got this one out, because like Min says, the words were overwhelming for the reader so only god knows the release of the poet! Smiling at you, Tai, a firm believer in saying it like it is...
