Anguished
is how you feel
thinking that everything is real
but it is not
and it cannot be!
Half of life
is just a mere delusion,
you see!
Burned
as if walking on real fire
when you only have to wear
your forced attire!
Tired to the bone
waiting to reach home
when home can simply be
a word uttered to thee!
Bewitched
with dreams that can't be reached
a world is to be beseeched!
and
You !?
a monarch
a monarch
with no crown
just a face in this hazy town!
Silenced
for words seem to fail you still
as you struggle to express your
twirling inner cell!
missed
and missing
the light that once shone
that you thought you own
that taught you the reality of being alone
no centuries could atone
this loss of that you had known!
Bequeathed
to your day,
not a gift!
though in a way!
but perhaps a burden
of clay
and promised decay!
Delay ..
all that could be
hold life at a bay
stutter with your lousiest "cliche"
betray
the day!
and wallow in dismay!
At the end,
a human still you would be
entangled with all that is meant to be
dreaming of being set free!

Sometimes you have something to say but you would rather to keep silent fearing to be misunderstood, I'm not good in playing with words like you poetesses do. I will keep what I feel about this poem inside me to avoid falling in mistakes
ReplyDeletemisunderstanding stuff and being misunderstood are always risks that one has to be brave enough to take ...or else silence would be endless!
DeleteAnd do poets play with words? is poetry a mere play of words!!?
poetry, as i see it, is an ability to tame words to say more than they should ....to create such multi-layered meanings that each reader would end having his own private view & insight of a poem. In that way, I guess each poem is owned by its reader ...won't you agree?
Thank you
