Quietus
Whispers of the flow ebbing away,
the white noise of water splashes,
the cold gust makes my intents sway,
and the zest for stillness crashes.
The razor edge of the river bank,
cutting through my fallen memories,
the life lasting a blink that sank,
and left no footprints on the prairies.
The dark imbued with moonlight,
approaching a blinding glare,
the seldom oasis below my flight,
coalescing with a wasteland rare.
The slick beneath my keeled feet,
colludes with mold for my despair,
shambled life comes to me to meet,
walks me to its doppleganger's lair.
The pulse that had someone's rhythm,
now courses with a sluggish rage.
The breath of fresh air that made me hum,
now smothers me in its barred cage.
The bittersweet days of upheaval,
spent longing for someone's caress,
now walks by, bidding farewell,
with an arch that the hands buttress.
The permeant void now fills within,
and pines for absolute nothingness.
This being blossoms into a heathen,
and languishes for the dark realness.
The serene underbelly the flow caters,
is where I intend to come to a halt.
The innocence of untouched waters,
would drain from me life's caustic malt.
The inspiration for the above excuse for a poem are Mr. Santosh Prajapati and Ms. Upal Majumdar.

and languishes for the dark realness."
These were the best lines! :)
but there was a certain fluidity which was retained from verse to verse... Try circulating thoughts arnd specific ideas..like incidents... try reading some poets.. like Neruda, E. E. Cummings .. They write in simple words(something I can't unfortunately).. Its the best way to write!
:)
Waiting to read more from you..
P.S.~ Take off my name from the post..grrrr!..
TANK you for your review. Just wanted to ask, doesn't the notion of giving up one's life cross your mind while reading the poem? That's what the central idea was when I started putting these words together. I'll try to look those poets up if and when I have time. NO, my blog, my world and my governance, so I won't remove your name from the post.
