Rise - From The Ashes Poem by Sundeep Goswami

Rise - From The Ashes



Emotions clashing, nigh on passion
Radiant moonlight, unwavering horizon
Clandestine thoughts, forever more
Roaring, raging, surging forth.

A parallel journey, the unsung plight
Resonates, rebounds, the woeful night.
Unaccepted, unwanted, a beleaguered sore,
Bleeding, dying, at Demise’s door.

Burning flames lick wounds from hell
Ashes and gashes, the Devil’s knell.
To not fight the end, rejoice wondrous life
Accede and accept, attain true sight.

Demise’s embrace, a flawed policy,
Her soothing promises, Man’s fallacy.
To begin at the end, feel revived
Restoration, regeneration, recreated Divine.

Rise, fly, burn belligerently bright
Defy reason, scale Wuthering Heights.
A deluge of thoughts, a barrage of disdain
Rise from the Ashes, conquer pain.

Victorious relief, celebration unbound
Unconquered symphony, eloquently bound.
Remember the beginning, it began at the end
Forget not the journey, start again.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote this poem after a business festival - Acme 2014 held at St. Aloysius college, Mangalore. Unfortunately, while I placed second, the rest of my team did not make an impact and we failed to procure the overall trophy. There were mixed feelings, but the important thing to remember is that we should not give up. I wrote this on the way back in the bus, remembering all the fun and enjoyment I had experienced, albeit with a pang of longing for the trophy.
