Play Ends; Curtains Down Poem by Mubeen Sadhika

Play Ends; Curtains Down

Rating: 4.8


The fiery dragon
in the tranquil
of the cool garden
friend of the beast
another monster flying
upside down menacing
mercurial blow of fire
emitting around....

..........................................................................stopping....the discharge
..........................................................................breathing....the smoke
..........................................................................loosing.......the feature
..........................................................................becoming....the weak...

That soft little angel
lying on the rose-petal bed
thinking about the creature
laughing at its overture
conditions that the barbaric
wild animal would undergo...

............................................................................inhaling......the flame
............................................................................coughing....the fume
............................................................................reducing....the element
............................................................................missing......the potent

Dragon's flight to overcome
the princess turning the master
now the venom to be lost
to accept the proposal
cleaving the root would
clear the poison
friend's humiliation striking
the spongy heart......

.............................................................................suffering.......the cut
.............................................................................distressing....the capital
.............................................................................crippling.......the control
.............................................................................settling..........the chore

The beauty queen on
cloud nine modestly
assuming the brute
to run away from
agony and would not
turn back.......
...............................................................................enduring.......hurt
...............................................................................pretending...unhurt
...............................................................................confining.....lame
...............................................................................remaining.....feeble

Dragon on the death-bed
smiling to the friend
proclaiming the failure
negation of the darling
to be reborn to surrender
the whole devotion
never parting without
the adored.......
