THE INNOCENT BIRD

Once free, I roamed the sky, With wings that carried me high. A world of wonder, a life of bliss, No cage, no chains, no tethered kiss. But then one day, I met a man, Who offered food with a gentle hand. I trusted him, I had no fear, For in my heart, there was no smear. But as I sat upon his palm, He locked me up in his realm. The cage was small, the walls were cold, My wings were clipped, my spirit sold. I sang a song of freedom then, Of skies that held me high again. I cried and wept for what I'd lost, My innocence, my bliss, my cost. And yet I sang with patience too, For in my heart, I knew it's true, That freedom comes to those who wait, Who persevere, who don't berate. So with my voice, so sweet and clear, I sang a song for all to hear, Of tyranny and betrayal too, Of beauty lost, and pain that's new. I the innocent bird, with my pity voice, Sang the song of tyranny, with no rejoice. But still, i croon with all my might, For freedom, for justice, for the light. The...

EGOISTIC FATE

My total indifference and poverty, Where humiliation weighs Heavily as a slab of concrete. And the egos are waiting for the Promised advent of altruistic birds Without egoistic plumage Longer than a day, hot, and far too large For their meagre contents. On the branches of egoistic fate, Vultures of Simplicity ought to be present. Observing people's attempts to give Their life some appearance of Significance, yet this stillness is gradually developing across the globe Their egoistic fate is a bleached night. Rich people's wings sweep my dignity, And for a brief moment, they see The poor as they fade into obscurity, Their heads bowed in defiance of The sour wind of money. The poem describes the struggles of an individual who faces poverty and humiliation, surrounded by a world driven by ego and materialism. It highlights the irony of people's attempts to find significance in their lives while neglecting the simplicity and altruism that could bring them true happiness. The poe...

PEN WALK AND HOPE

I walked among the tidal wails.  In the suit of scarlet red:  And steps seemed dark and bright.  My hat was on its head, But I never saw myself, looked  So wistfully at the day's end. I never saw myself, looked  With such a wistful eye  Upon that little tent of stars  Which people call the hope of eye,  And at every cloudy vision  Onto each foggy image that passed by. None did wring my hands, as do Those imbecile people who dare  To try to rear the jerk  Hope In the cave of black Despair:  I only looked upon the blue.  And Inhale the hopeful air. None did wring my hands nor weep.  Nor did i peak or pine. But i breath the air as though it held  Some healthful tedious, somewhat decline With open mouth i drank the hope  As though it had been red wine! I along with all the other suffering  That were trampling the other ring.  Forgot wheather i had done something  Noteworthy. i simply was dull amaz...

A Tale of Strategy and Valor

I wade ashore at the crack of dawn with a spear and a shield in my hands.  I must have frequently trod on death unaware. The square sails of our fleet flutter in the breeze behind me  As the dragons search for my adversary and their little spears,  Which swarm like flies. The mail coat rubs on my shoulders. I have no escape from the sea, but none is desired,  So by the next high tide either my fanatic will point as promised  Or the battle-watchers will have taken me all. I am a thread in the tapestry of history today. Poem summary: The poem above is a short, descriptive piece that paints a picture of a warrior wading ashore at dawn, ready for battle.

POISONOUS THOUGHT

When I found your pale face on a pillow, A nest so heavy with nothing on willow. The sheded leaves had erased the allure. I hardly noticed in the late-night obscure. By this law, the knees are laced with spontaneity. Must I insist on an absence more unreasonably? When you look at me kindly and generously   Who am I to stop this flowing affection so harshly? I can’t see for the glum in my bed in traverse. It can stay in the heavens only by reversal. If i can't watch the creator, I will lose you. What angel takes the place of distance in leaf que?

The Dairies of November.

It's over, and did November not do nostalgic ease? Morning breezes, raucous calls of migratory geese,  And a coral moon that is floating low in the sky. Nor an autmn gold remained in the trees in sigh. Did I appreciate the vigorous foliage while it persisted? Was I astonished? the hive have up and left instead. Then dispersed to tremble in their wintery clumps. Sun's ricochet light behind drawn drapes and thumps. Around twelve in the afternoon, a closed sign appears. The filthy river, coughs forth reed grass like fatty as feather dusters. The throngs of children have succumbed to winter's great allure.
