Motives

Motives

Lying pensive
On the arms of silence
Reclining on the cheeks
of tranquility ..ever shy
ever soft
My eyes refuged
in sockets
Reckless. .neglectful
I heard deep moans
Some soul sobbing  
Wailing. .weeping
Sound escalated
stretched like
an evergreen bougainvillea
Knocked at the gate
Of my ears
Whispered the name
of the anguisher :
"Your Heart"

Avalanche

Myself disowned me ..a forlorn child
identity outaged ..words failed
No passport defines me
No land embraces me
nameless  
Selfless..soulless  
I approached you for a bliss
Love bred in detached hearts
Bismerched by my own starvation
My demons questioned my perdition
I doomed it juxtaposition
Of  supervision and  envision
I don't know me
And me lost recognition
Meaning and definition

La femme

The french said
"Cherchez la femme"
Women, the sweet "dames"

Were once Pandora
Out of whose box
slipped a rakish aura

And Helen whose
untamed core
raged the Trojan war 

Clytemnestra,the fiend
doomed Agamemnon's end                 

And Elektra plotted the demise
of mom and her accomplice

Not to underestimate Cleopatra's guile

That lured Mark Anthony in a while

Well, I, all those, excel                    
Yet in love..am your guardian angel



* "Cherchez la femme" :
Seek the woman
Femme pronounced as /fam/
*" dames" : ladies..pronounced as /dam/

The Debate!

My soul, heart and mind
summoned  to negotiate
My love condition:
critical crucial controversial    

My soul.. captivated..subjugated ..furiated
My heart.. tickled..filled ..thrilled
My mind..impressed..obsessed..
Possessed                                  
The three doomed that love one-of-a-kind
As they devised an oath: to treasure it even after death  ,
they noticed that common sense wasn't invited!!

I wanted to tell you...

Clytemnestra Aa Aug  4 2015 (c)

I wanted to tell you...

I envy the soil that woos your hands!
I hate  the footpath that hugs your steps !

I abhor the cup that reclines on your lips !

I despise the comb that courts your hair  !
I loathe the pipe that sleeps on your palms and flirts with your breath!!

     For all that should be mine!!

                                 Yet , I refrained!!

How often ?

Clytemnestra Aa Aug 5 2015 (c)  


Did you whisper my name in the dark.. wrestling an obstinate echo?!
How often?
Did you savor my scent in the morning..mating sleepy hollow?!
How often?
Did you sigh when a young lady passed loosening her locks as clusters of red grapes  in a vineyard amidst the meadow?!    
Did you ask yourself ,"was it she?"
Well, it was me:
the phantom that made you rage an everlasting war against slumber!! And no armistice is in the air..ever !!

Farewell

Am leaving as my heart depleted
My ink evanesced ..my quill revolted
My rhyme buried its strain !!
My tears preyed upon themselves  !!
I am the widow of joy              
Clad in Black ever !!                  
My poetry bled to death !!
My love for you is an orphan
Bawling at the corner..surd!!
Am ashes dissipated by west wind
and you are the fire that consumes me      !!!!
