A VASE

Clytemnestra Aa Aug 12 2015

Am a beautiful vase natural..unrefined 
You added varnish to my details 
Neglected, I adorned your room
My hollow soul
Craved for company
I beseeched you
To call some daisies 
Yet,you invited pain instead
my corners contorted 
But, you turned a deaf ear
agony spawned my demise 
I got cracked and shattered 
...... 
All I needed was some daisies
And all you offered was tears

Ever-blooming!!

The purple orchid 
Among damp crevices
at the waterfall
Shimmering ..dancing. .flirting
With succulent beams
Swaying fluttering bending
To delicious zephyr
Melting kneeling wilting
To a passion of no peer
A passion that is sublime !!
A communion of souls
Which mortals envy
Yet angels embrac

Crossroads

Clytemnestra Aa

I spent the night biding time
Eyes following every chime
Heart sinks at every rhyme

Dancing on the floor of my woes
As music of tears rolling flows
Distress hats off and bows

For melancholy I sip
Of a gargantuan grip
the load of a ship

My door was left ajar
For a shipwrecked tar
For him..I am the leading star!!

I belong to you

Aug 27 2015 (c)

To your sovereignty
Paying taxes
as caresses
Using love 
as passport
And bills?
One unprecedented
matchless
Look would suffice
Still
Am a law-abiding citizen
I never break the laws 
In harmony with your constitution:
Loving you seven days a week
Not enough?! 
I oblige myself to some fine
hugging you
till my limbs go numb
Kissing you
till my lips transcend 
to a heavenly communion
That's when my heart 
loses count of those 
rapturous upheavals
I told you

Rationale

The sun rises from the west
And casts breezy light ?!
Possible 

Birds dive deep into the ocean and dwell among crevasses ?!
Possible 

The moon shrinks into a small ball and rests on a mound ?!
Possible 

Volcanoes spew icy chunks 
And magma turns into rain ?!
Possible 

Civilizations fade and languages grow into indecipherable silence ?! 
Possible 

Forgetting the hurt your humiliating words and pretentious love drenched my heart in?!

That's the IMPOSSIBLE !

Tabula Rasa

Naive and spontaneous 
she is 
Maybe a little bit absurd 
Innocent , childish and raw
Like first words chuntered 
by an offspring
Or a toddler's first pace
Like virgin salt 
that needs purification 
to render consumable
Or an amorphous diamond 
that yens for the hand of 
an astute man to sculpt it
She thought you would be
that hand 
the underpinning 
of her new birth
Only gargantuan love 
could entice you to raid 
the unfathomable realm 
of her ignorant soul 
and help her make it 
to shores of knowing 

Her soul was thirsty for you
mocking time 
making distance her joke
Feeding on the rumours 
of Orion 
through whose constellation 
you promised to peer

You should have
quenched her
Completed her
Filled the ladle 
of her sentiments
Fondled her delicacy
With feelings
Never known
Never even heard of
You should have nailed her
penned her
spilt your ink on her trove
written
erased 
and refined her 
embellishments
For She was
your tabula rasa !

In Heaven

Clytemnestra Aa
Aug 2015 (c)


As the sun sprinkles its warmth 
like confetti upon my heart
its curious rays sneak
through the window
teasing me 
tickling my tresses
I smile to you
I brew some coffee
sit on the balcony
And wait for you to come
And you do
Yet you never sit
never have coffee 
though I get an extra cup for you
You just hold my hand 
And we stand side by side
Facing the sea
you hold me tight
Our eyes chat and 
our lips confirm
every word.

A Promise

Clytemnestra Aa
Aug 2015 (c)

Am saving you
Love
As provision for cold 
Winter days 
When food of the soul 
Is not ambrosial
And the body starves
For a stroke of warmth
I conceal it
In the womb of time 
To grow day by day
Fostered by the benign
Hand of fate 
Shielded by the lustrous
Smile of existence
I will be waiting
For time to bid
you get closer 
Fetch what 
I long treasured
for you

An Orchid in a Sandbox

Clytemnestra Aa
Aug 23 2015 (c)

Adorned a shelf 
In a flower shop
She was so thrilled 
To know life outdoors 
Her dazzling beauty
Gripped hearts of lookers
Until a day came
When a man bought that orchid 
"At last..life outdoors ! "
And he was a good man 
Watered her day and night 
Caressed her soft petals 
Now she adorns his place 
Again..thrilled to try life outdoors

When Common Sense Leaves

Clytemnestra Aa
Aug 25 2015 (c)

Unleash those demons of yours
And release mine
For fire abides my soul
My heart reclines on 
a bed of coal 
Upon a pyre
Of feelings that glow inside
Stop holding back
Set our demons free
To feed the incineration
Of mortal itch 
Let the flame never die
Till we melt the icy walls
Separating our flesh
Let those 
steamy silhouettes dance 
Hand in hand
As a haven 
For our love

Sabotage all values
Shoo righteousness 
murder sanity
Smother rationality
Just for a while 
Covet for a moment 
When love 
Disobeys
Rebels
Poses a threat to
subliminal core
Infuse your all
Profuse your all
Refuse any call
to embrace an armistice 
It's your war 
And am your
demilitarised zone !

your love

I'm a thought

Hurt

Clytemnestra Aa
Aug 30 2015 (c)


Loosened
like yellowish souls 
When trees of the spirit go naked

Shattered 
like unsought ideals 
When morality aches

Squashed
like common sense
When absurdity is canonised 

Smashed
like sagacity
When foolishness reverberates

Charted
like love
When pain digs the heart
Sets an impenetrable bedrock 
Builds a colony 
Summons followers
Declares himself a king

Query of an Uprooted Heart

Clytemnestra Aa
Aug 31 2015 (c)

I planted you
in the ever fertile soil
of my poems 
Drizzled you 
with sweetest semantics ever 
so you'd bloom 
And be the fruit to my eyes
I fed you bits of my soul
To silence your hunger 
for my breath
for my lips calling 
your name in the dark
I pruned you with my touch
So you shimmer in marvel
I bid words quilt you
on cold nights
So warmth abides 
your frozen bones
Still 
You abandoned me
to astray hunger, 
thirst and frost

Revelation

Clytemnestra Aa
Aug 31 2015 (c)

I rummaged thee 
As I was errantly 
roaming
my wasteland 
Coveting for a spec of breath
Among orphaned logs 
Tearful grass 
Clouds overloaded with 
reminiscences 
A fading sun howling
On top of a dead hill :

Thou art 
An illusion 
A reflection 
of the vacant molecules
on derelict suffocation 
A shadow exiled into the void
A refugee expelled into
the land of no man 
..still I had faith in thee
