Poems.

Written around 200 poems, i still dont like poetry much. Pros to me, can do magic.
but I have been reading to my old pieces forlong because perhaps i am unable to write as creative as i used to, once upon a time.

want you all to read two poems for a comparison. or not even a comparison, just for the sake of it.


1) Gaze.

that honey sunken gaze
fixed on my face,
and i,
trembeling,
with blood emptying from veins
and rushing to my cheeks
too glad to speak,
overwhelmed by his presence.

"what ever i feel
i have to conceal
my secret heart throbs.
let it not reveal,"

but when our eyes met;
he came near and said

"you know what sweetheart"
"you are trying in vain"
"cuz everytime your heart trobs"
"i can hear it whispering my name."

wrote it 5 years ago, of i dont know what. much have been something I dont remember now. and while I am reading old ones, I found that this is quite good. for say, a 15 year old (now dont compare me and shruti, she's quite fast for her age!)


2) this one is well right after read HP's fifth installment... order of pheonix.

burnt,
burnt alive;
scarlet red flames
ashes of her flesh

and smell of burning blood
the feathers un-tie
crushed!
fell akin yellow-autumn leaves
breaking loose.
she turned her gaze towards the mystic skies

the moon wept!
the birds woed!
the sun cried!

some diamond beads;
flickered -
fell from the corners of her eyes

she died.

but this is not the end of her life
from the tears she cried,
a new life was re-surrected

a new pheonix was born,

she'll live to die
she'll die to live
thats her fate,
thats her life.

  4. *jumps in wid a handkerchief*

    Before commentin on asbah's piece lemme meet shruti....

    Hello shruti...hv just heard abt u frm asbah bt stil hav to read ur stuff. Was missin 4 long 4m this space n wil do d catchin up n commentin session soon. Its really unfair to only comment on asbah's post bypassin mine...he he...asbah isko bolo yeh galat hain....he he he...

    N now islex...i beg to differ tht the 20 yr old gal's creativity has deteriorated wid time. The asbah i knw today takes challenges headon n is nt wary of experimenting. Thts the biggest fear writers hav n u hv tht demon caged safely. Gaze n phoenix pieces show the seeds of imagination u had back then. These seeds hav transformed into trees n its not long before we all start enjoyin the rare fruits of a mature literary genius.
