Oblation Poem by Sathya Narayana

Oblation

Rating: 5.0


Poetry? ! What do I know? ?
Someone unknown stirs the mind
Kneads the thoughts; knits fine rows
Of words and runs my numb hand

He is my invisible tow
Of feel and emotive discord
A good friend and a bad foe
Playing with my passion-world

As if keeping up my vows
Of countless past births’ damp load
To His edicts I kowtow
Offering Him, His own words

Me too...I am no poet, words just come through love of something or experience. This is good Sathya, best description. I love it! 10+++

'Someone unknown stirs the mind' - a wonderful way to describe poetic inspiration. Yes, for me they come unannounced and quickly form into verses. I just put the words together, but I wonder who creates those words? Whoever it is, I am thankful that it keeps coming! Linda :)

The mind stirred indeed by yet someone unknown so as not to be recognized on paper. Poetic prose about poetry’s impetus. Well done.

Very true! Poetry comes as a result of inspiration, at times sudden, and at other times remaining in the subconscious mind, -waiting to take shape & form in verse! -Raj Nandy
