Random thoughts-1

When I started this blog, I had no idea where I was heading or what it is that I wanted to blog about. Slowly, over the past few months it has taken shape mainly into a poetry blog. No idea how that happened! I know that my poetry isn't all that great but I have somehow come to love this mode of expression. I have this insane urge to make the lines rhyme even though I know that good poetry doesn't have to... That's a part of my obsessive personality I guess. :)


I have also read some wonderful posts over the last few months. Maybe I can never live up to them, but I'm enjoying the ride. :)

Fabled Fame

Feverish hands
Reach for the treasured crown
Studded with the rubies red
Redder than the blood shed.


Frenzied eyes
Gleam in a manic stupor.
Whispering wail reaches a screaming pitch
But the steady gaze does not flinch.


Frantic fingers
Trace the tainted ornament
Blood mixes with the deserved sweat
Prisoner to his inevitable death.


Faltering breaths
Interrupt the mighty king
He has proved his gutsy mettle
Yet life gushes out in a slow trickle.


Fiery desire
Of a mortal being?
Or a foolish game
On the walk of the Fabled Fame?

Unlock

Rusty key cannot

Dusty lock unlock, even

when freedom is sought.
