Flowing Rivers

A taciturn mouth,twisted in the contours
lovely and callous.The brutal honesty of
my decayed snapshot.
Visions of laughter;probable,indistinct,almost there
in the glintless eyes.
you can see the curiosity

if you try.

I became still like a stone.
why i know not
perhaps the nightsky with sparkling stones
raise it's symphonic melody and whisper
ere daylight spreads it's sameness.
And birds chirp and disturb
the vacant loss of darkness.


And until we drift into light
and until I become one with void
oblivious to the laughing daffodils,white lilies
I disappoint the star spangled skies
and the people.And they in turn reflect.
Flowing water,stangnant pebbles.
clear,smooth and dead.

Destined to be alive.

anonymous@06:14---i'm glad you like my poems.thanks.full time jobs bore me.I'm not made for them.

de.vile--i never thought music to enfold that poetry.now that you've said,i'll try to musicate it..haha what word!

Saby--thats why i always told you,you were TRYING to be bad all this time.A sudden explosion of honesty eh?..knowing you,you are sure to come up with something like"i was kidding ashes..and one more thing U SUX"..hehe no frets Sabycreep we KNOW.
one advice from me too..being good isn't always a hurting.Shed yer armour of 'me-a-bad-guy-who-mocks'.

Ashes said...

(cont) Saby----forgot to say one thing..i never disliked you much.

Jim said...

heyyy heyyyy heyyyyyyyy

go easy on those emotions
i am not gay

Keshi said...

Ash ur poems always take me to a distant land...a land of memories that makes me want to cry...

Keshi.

sandeip said...

recurrent visions of a the undead;
spurious hopes of life
and stagnant desires like waters of a cess;
THATS LIFE!

Ashes said...

Saby--you overrated yourself

Keshi--thanks.i'm overwhelmed that you think of 'em in these terms

word_smith--nice lines.but is THAT life? i'd rather be dead.

i'd rather be dead
dat line gott me soo mad

but then i told my self
if i cudnt say sumting nice

i wud say nutting at all

Jim said...

on a serious note Ash,
u shudnt be saying such things on a public blogg

a guy wid acute depression may get the same idea himself and mite just go out and do it

i heard dat the sylvia plath diary prompted a lotta guys to follow suit

i bought the book from the flea market at anjuna goa

the drop outs from the western world find their way to goa and get into drugs and deeper depression

dont do dis to your self and yr friends ashes

{illyria} said...

the first line got me, ashes. you have a real way with introductions.

--pearl-- said...

been reading some blogs..a lot of d recent posts r abt death ..(fira,wordy,urs)
u give words ..or rather u take words n give em a whole new meanin..love d way u weave ur words..though i dont agree with all of d things..gives a new dimension 2 a persons thinkin...gr8 job!

sandeip said...

what else do u think we are doing here if not living our deaths?that was the reason why i use the word UNDEAD.

Ashes said...

Saby--i never acquired the habit of thinking in terms of 'public'.But maybe you are right.I wouldn't mind if i prompt an already wasted living being to THE END,but yeah it would be cruel to admit that.Sometimes i scare myself for the lack of feelings for others.I don't want to harm people,but frankly most of 'em don't exist.

and for the record,people who willfully end themselves are the biggest losers for me.Including your Sylvia Plath.

transience--I'm so glad you liked it.it made me happy.

--pearl--...*smiles*.i never write about death,except for the last post.Poems have a way of being taken any way the reader likes.

word_smith---undead is a great word.but words are motherfuckers,they mean so many things.

Jim said...

just for the record
i attempted it my self

didn't succeed
i got a nasty scar on my wrist
to remind me dat life is precious

and the worst of times dat u been through
wont last forever

nothing does
not even happiness
