' Black Autumn { For My Silent Mentor Edgar Allan Poe}...

Comes the cold, black, Death of Autumn,
harbouring its' pique on naked limb;
stirring damp, feral winds
to the hawking, stalking,
insidious squawking...
of ominous, petulant birds,
large, pestilent birds,
inexorabally, ever circling
'neath the late day shadows
from a cold november sun.

Stolen Moments

So...long...the day......so short....the hour
Stolen moments....angst...........deceit
......Another night.....sooo....long....the hour
Stolen moments......bittersweet

So far away...on an autumn's day
And yet...so near they were
Two woven lives...two souls in love
With many dreams...to share

Beauty Of Imperfection

Hard shelled,
Smoothed by many currents, many tides,
Buffing it with all that sand
As waves cycle through,
A cool fleshy lump of life
Lifts a finger
To get the weather report
On the motion of the seas;
Lifts a hand to grab morsels
From the smorgasbord passing by.

What's On My Mind You Ask? ? ?

What's on my mind you ask? ? ? ?
Do you really want to know?
Huh, punk, do you?
Oh, ooooops, slipped into my Clint Eastwood persona there,
please excuse me.
What's on my mind is what is causing me
to sit here
emitting
the world's longest,
eeriest,

Ability-2

Vagabond the husband..
Job to job, place to place
Loitering in unsteady wandering
His own wishful ideology

Towed wife followed in silence
Dragged to get abraded
Of frequent packing and unpacking

Fueled his reasonless loathing routine

Dichterliebe

So hungry-sensitive that he
craves day and night the pap of praise,
he'll ease his gripes or fingerpaint
in heartsblood on a public page.
The ordinary world must be
altered to circumvent his rage.

He'll tell, with stylish Angst of course,
the inmost secrets of our bed.
Words are far worse than drugs; there is

Akimbo

are we not just
bouncing around in a great rubber inferno
occasionally colliding with one another
until one of us breaks?
i dangle from the ceiling fan
the light has burned out, the walls are closing in
the air is getting thinner
all this time i had thought you would rescue me
but you never showed
i have no superhero

I Don'T

Many people write
For their true emotions to unravel
Out of depression, angst, spite
But I can’t
I don’t write poems when I’m sad

They write from their experiences
When he left me
When they died
Bringing tears, causing cries

The Red Diary!

Past is ebbing back to me
Hopes
Hurts
Heart-breaks
Deep wounds of virgin soul
solace
Angst
Poems written in faded blue
Wise quotes
Old pics

# As The Year Draws To An End...

What is it about some days
Birthday, festivals and anniversary
New Year and first of January
We wake up expectant and gay…

I ponder this foggy December
Why can’t we feel joyous and alive?
Ready to dance, sing and jive
Why it takes some dates on the calendar,

Kavita 04 - After My Lover Has Gone Abroad

After my lover has left for abroad
Happiness and gaiety are annoyed of me
Sleep does not visit me even in the nights
How do I, friend, put the angst of separation in words
How do I spend my life ahead
This world is no longer dear to me
Without him, I've become desparate
How do I tell you, but want to live no longer

I have stopped adorning up myself

A Paradigm Shift

Driving straight is fun
But careful dive along bow bends,
Trivial anticlimactic stances
Breed carking differences

World cascades in future
The young grows up in age
Doesn’t have to wait too long
Dichotomy picked up with a tong

Foreword

This is
a death threat for no one,
a suicidal promise to someone,
a reaper's ransom note.


This is
slow dancing to the last dance,
waking up to
new millenniums and apocalypse,

Fear Of Death

Fear of Death

I am confined in the cauldron of smoke
Coming out of perpetual inferno
That is blazing with fury and angst.
The ugly inferno gapes at me
With violent rage to swallow my soul.
No way to escape from its rigid clasp
Guilt’s ugly face has chilled my footsteps
I am destined to face God’s wrath

! To A God-Daughter On Her Sad Poem

Yes, we get blasé and dismissive on this site –
reading in the reams of Poemhunter posts
‘yet another poem of teenage angst’,
we say, scanning the raw wounds
too rough for poetry – but what else
will ease the pain?

‘I thought we loved each other for ever –
how could you do this to me? …’

A Face Book Profile

I’m Picasso if you asked colour of my eye
In séance I only speak Greek; come hither
Only if your soul has ears
I’m a Pharaoh and accept only sons for supper
I express my angst in Iliad; haiku distraught me
I breathe only underwater and use sun for scrub
Amazing isn’t it? my Eureka was first to berth at Atlantis
When I laugh tyrants weep…
Believe it I exist only in mediocrity

A Brief Introduction To My Thoughts (I'M Smiling, Darling, Not Whining)

Hi. The name is Lou.
Born in the land of the new moon,
raised in the Pearl of the Orient.
My Grandparents as my Parents,
My Parents as my Grandparents.
An outcast in the family,
treated like dirt, seen as a microbe.

Indie kid with an emo flare,
Teenage Angst mixed with cofee,

Mr Wonderful

When at last she gets to slumber,
She dreams of Mr Wonderful,
Every night,
She is resolute to find the sunlight,
To move to the city of New York,
As here at home she is just bobbing on the ocean,

Like a lone cork,
The waves battering the core of her being,
The wind howling at her emotional turmoil,

Born Today

for Jane

is to be one to the one
closest to you
who shares the air
& other elements
right there next to you

two bodies wrapped in darkness
among millions of other bodies

I Love All The Poemhunter Family

Poetry is the window of the Soul
Every window has two sides
By virtue of its own transparency.
Windows allow us - to look in and out
That is the function of Poetry
C'est la raison d'etre de Poeisme!

Poetry is an expression of Emotion
Poetry is a release of Ecstacy.
A pent up verbalisation,
