Drunk
How many times
have you promised
how many times
have you said
as you once again
look down
on a child
battered and beaten
laying there
on the kitchen floor
trying to protect a mummy
who doesn't want
to be hurt
anymore
have you promised
how many times
have you said
as you once again
look down
on a child
battered and beaten
laying there
on the kitchen floor
trying to protect a mummy
who doesn't want
to be hurt
anymore

Who is Woman?
Who is Woman?
She is the one
Who created the men
With so much pain.
Who is Woman?
She is the one
Who loves us now and then,
But gets no love in return.
Who is Woman?
She is the one
Who takes so much burden
But gets no apprecition.
Who is Woman?
She is the one
Who gets beating
With stick and stone.
But All Mighty
A question too arise
Why does she keep quiet?
Why does not she fight?
She is the one
Who created the men
With so much pain.
Who is Woman?
She is the one
Who loves us now and then,
But gets no love in return.
Who is Woman?
She is the one
Who takes so much burden
But gets no apprecition.
Who is Woman?
She is the one
Who gets beating
With stick and stone.
But All Mighty
A question too arise
Why does she keep quiet?
Why does not she fight?

Evening Poem
to have a line
be nude of a person
to have a sky lifted
are the only things
loss equals
the shape of evenings
the sadness of rooms
and time
to be felt is the only thing
to touch.

I Remember not the Cause of My Joy…
I remember not what was the cause of my joy,
Now I watch space observed how it slowly unfolds.
And this garden I loved, sitting here I enjoyed,
Used to come yesteryear all summer long.
And this question inside me is constantly born:
Shouldn’t I stop shedding tears, have I not cried enough?!
I recall in this garden sitting pondering long
Since to dearest friend bade I final good bye.
Sky, observed oftentimes, now it slowly unfolds,
There is space once again, there is also the earth.
Used to come yesteryear all summer long,
Then this garden wore down, it I fully forgot.
I remember not what was the cause of my joy,
Now I watch space observed how it slowly unfolds.
And this garden I loved, sitting here I enjoyed,
Used to come yesteryear all summer long.
Now I watch space observed how it slowly unfolds.
And this garden I loved, sitting here I enjoyed,
Used to come yesteryear all summer long.
And this question inside me is constantly born:
Shouldn’t I stop shedding tears, have I not cried enough?!
I recall in this garden sitting pondering long
Since to dearest friend bade I final good bye.
Sky, observed oftentimes, now it slowly unfolds,
There is space once again, there is also the earth.
Used to come yesteryear all summer long,
Then this garden wore down, it I fully forgot.
I remember not what was the cause of my joy,
Now I watch space observed how it slowly unfolds.
And this garden I loved, sitting here I enjoyed,
Used to come yesteryear all summer long.

About this poem:
The cause of joy must have been the poet's dearest friend, a buddy, a soulmate, a beloved, to whom bidding farewell could have produced a great stress and depression, so abysmally deep that he does not even remember who or what the cause of his broken spirit is. His poetry is permeated with the deepest melancholy, despondency, depressed state, and thoughts of death.Here are links to his poem Memento Mori - the poem itself with English translation (which is not mine) and a video with the recital of the poem.
Thank you very much for your interest. This blessed Corner brings world poetry to the attention of audience prepared to read, listen and enjoy it!

untitled
Who cares, who wonders who wishes away the days,
what will be done in different ways,
How fear of loss creeps through the mind,
until the day you cannot find.
I'd never wish a life be born,
the trouble brought by meaningful scorn,
what did I do,
what Karma fell,
life can be Heaven
and also Hell.
Each day a question,
unsolved with sense,
each night is tension,
the dark is dense.
Awake, awake
each morn with light,
for my own sake,
make clear the sight.

SAD TRUTH
Hopelessness that engulfed me long ago continues to take a toll
succumbing is imminent if I don't find the cure for my ailing soul
It's gotten more arduous keeping at bay the indignation I deeply feel
constant unwanted thoughts of dying have become scary real
I battle Demons like every person does in some capacity I'd surmise
you can't truly know others because all have something requiring disguise
For way too many years I have contemplated giving in to suicide
I'm still here because strength I've questioned is very alive inside
The will to keep on living was THE one thing I hoped to never lose
my life has been inundated with misery I didn't willingly choose
There are numerous reasons I can't ascend from the dark pit of grief
in my most desperate times I've called on a mythical god for relief
I have been unable to secure joy but thankfully it occasionally stops by
absolute detestation for our nefarious world tops all the reasons why
More often I find myself caring less about waking to another tomorrow
pain heightens knowing so many others are suffering even worse sorrow
To everyone like me struggling to endure this every day fight
'HOPE' we must somehow never allow to escape our sight
This utterly sinister life doesn't resemble a "Gift" at all
when you fall and feel you've reached to tired to stand...Crawl
Let the unconditional love of family be reason you stay
we can certainly wish all misery is going to end someday

About this poem:
Truth and Hope
No Love
No love
No love
For a long long time
Nothing to hear
To touch my ear
A voice of someone kind
Like a lost lonely bird starring at the snow
With no will to fly
As the snowflakes swirl they cling to my eyes
No love
No love
No love for a long long time
No love
For a long long time
Nothing to hear
To touch my ear
A voice of someone kind
Like a lost lonely bird starring at the snow
With no will to fly
As the snowflakes swirl they cling to my eyes
No love
No love
No love for a long long time

Post CommentThe fear
Just look what's happening everywhere
The terrorists at will
Are targeting without a thought
Their object just to kill
They're murdering whoever 's there
It doesn't matter who
Men, women and children
To them, any soul will do
So can you blame the people who
Have seen this all before
No matter where they are
They fear it landing at their door
And then they start to think the worse
Till it effects each day
And also ruins any thoughts
They had of going away
They're thinking of what if they come
And do it in this place
They're doing it almost everywhere
To every other race
Why go outside, why take a chance
Today, us, it could be
And all those hours in the day
With some we may not see
Will we be safe, If we don't move
Do these four walls protect
Will putting our heads down keep us
From fears that we suspect
Those thoughts of what could happen
Keep us lying in our bed
An overwhelming feeling
That we may just end up dead
These fears are so irrational
The chances are so rare
But that just doesn't register
To people everywhere
The only thing that's on their minds
Is worry and bad thoughts
Of what could happen to us
If surrounded by gunshots
We shouldn't let that fear control
We've our own lives to save
Don't let it stop the things we do
Or change how we behave
To let it in means they have won
From many miles away
But not if you just live your lives
And wear a smile each day

About this poem:
I wrote this from just hearing of all the bad things happening around the world and how its affecting people's living their livesAgain
Please tell me what is in their minds
Just what are they thinking
Attacking lots of innocents
Who didn't do a thing
It's turkey now, such tragedy
The loss of life immense
Those people didn't do a thing
It just does not make sense
They all got up, went on their way
And lived their normal lives
not knowing others had a plan
Where only few survives
How can they be so heartless
By attacking those they could
It feels like they're just yearning
for the sight of people's blood
My heart goes out to all who died
Their families and friends
They shouldn't have to go through this
For them it never ends
It's happening all round the world
Yet none of us have heard
I don't believe that, that is right
We all should spread the word
We need to let them know we care
That all life is the same
For those of you who don't believe
Well that is just a shame
Just what are they thinking
Attacking lots of innocents
Who didn't do a thing
It's turkey now, such tragedy
The loss of life immense
Those people didn't do a thing
It just does not make sense
They all got up, went on their way
And lived their normal lives
not knowing others had a plan
Where only few survives
How can they be so heartless
By attacking those they could
It feels like they're just yearning
for the sight of people's blood
My heart goes out to all who died
Their families and friends
They shouldn't have to go through this
For them it never ends
It's happening all round the world
Yet none of us have heard
I don't believe that, that is right
We all should spread the word
We need to let them know we care
That all life is the same
For those of you who don't believe
Well that is just a shame

About this poem:
I wrote this at the time of the tragedy in turkeyTwo Hundred Twenty Nine
Two hundred twenty nine
And now today another I will write
But if I'd had someone to talk too
There wouldn't be one poem in your sight
Two hundred twenty nine leaves a long lonely trail
And it's sad looking back
So write one more might as well
Two hundred twenty nine
What has been on my mind
What was I trying to say
Now it's two thirty I'll still be awake come the break of day
So now you have found me after my thoughts have become so quiet
But If I had someone to talk too
There wouldn't be one poem in your sight
And now today another I will write
But if I'd had someone to talk too
There wouldn't be one poem in your sight
Two hundred twenty nine leaves a long lonely trail
And it's sad looking back
So write one more might as well
Two hundred twenty nine
What has been on my mind
What was I trying to say
Now it's two thirty I'll still be awake come the break of day
So now you have found me after my thoughts have become so quiet
But If I had someone to talk too
There wouldn't be one poem in your sight
