Mock


Harmless,is that what you think?
A fireflying ; quivering and breathing low

almost dead on the porcelain

criss cross of the hand.

Harmless.Maybe trivial.
There are no requiems

no hymns and no mourners
And so I mourn for the little light angel

Sweeping in a violent emotion

the crystal bowl shines a mocking smile.
Hark! it says

"Death consumes the fire
of everyone.
And lifeless,lightless and faceless
she died.
What tortures might have snuffed
her
glistening body into weightless,
formless and senseless
contour
which rises to meet the heaven."

The cruel bowl shall die into million pieces
the insolence of his truth humilates
and enrages me

A beautiful monster that mocks the deaths
is so fragile against a sudden
jerk of my hand
.
Laughter
Crash!
death!
Silence.

Now I have three dead
Firefly,crystal bowl and his impertinence

Jim said...

heyyyy ASHES,
honestly dis post is good
bcoz it was tinged wid a pinch of humor
De Vile needs to learn

if it is all sadness
it is self-pity
dat is distasteful;

Jim said...

the Sylvia Plath diary is total self pity

only a masocist wud want to read it
i just read a few pages
and i threw it away

DONT EVER READ IT
if ur feeling sad

Jim said...

heyyy ASHES,

Ashes said...

Saby--I think de.vile is awesome.And I love her writing sense.

And whats with you always equating me and S.Plath.I don't intend to be a victim of self-pity rising to the level of suicide,nor i have intensions of killing weak ppl by writing something on virtues of dying.

I saw yer 'new friends' link..it's sweet and kinda dumb.But then so are you.

a beautiful poem.it has all of your old touch and mastery of words.

the thoughts;well;to me they tastify life.not life as in living;but life as we witness it.

a bit of cruelty too;but i suppose cruelty is essential in this life also.it reminds me of a phrase i read long back........"we all were acceptable losses in an unacceptable war".
it referred to athe vietnam war.
