Primus Inter Pares Poem by Sourav Majumdar

Primus Inter Pares

Rating: 4.3


That Day
I was Heart-Broken
my entire soul endrenched
In A Myriad Pool of Brine....

The red carpet
that had seemingly rolled out
had flipped back again in No Time....
....no time at all....

The Magical Entrancement
...... of a Secure Future
my self-confidence lay like Tiny Broken
....Shards of mercury plated Glass....

The Blackness of insecurity was too much for my Inexperience.

But then..
He had appeared like God...
His tender voice Solicited the
Indelible Ink with which They Marked me...

'Put Unfair Comparisons aside'
- he had patiently reminded..
'For to each one, His Battle has its own dimension'.

I left Him on the roadside to the Future,
..but I learnt to love Life differently then On
for that day, he taught me To Be...
'PRIMUS INTER PARES'

-The First Among Equals.

This poem was written in distraught times, copied to my diary on a turbulent night..but in the end it always summoned in me enough courage to look ahead and lead my life in my own terms.

Sourav, This is a great submission. 'First among equals' is a drive that brings about one's desire to produce a motivation to sustain an 'inner' challenge to succeed among those respected. I had to read this poem several times to 'then' under that 'purpose' I had mentioned to you. This creation you have made provides 'identity' that overwhelmingly defines the purpose. 'PRIMUS INTER PARES' is nice.
