Woman in white of face withering
away with a wane look in eyes
pleas for penance for less than pensive
attitude towards the plight of
those who suffer seams of stress
time and again same as ever
she traverses, travels for that time
when she’d understand truth after all
she drowns and drenches in ditches
of the pure waters, drink for relief
from her callous crimes that cause
her infinitesimal catastrophic pain
* I tried.. for dverse Form for All. At least there is alliteration.. <<innocent>>
The blue expanse up above
so wide, beneath which
all our lives astray
no path, just a foggy trance
confusion, delusion, askance
this life does nothing but betray
teach us all the lies, this bitch
of feelings, of emotions, of love
there is nothing but that blue thing
under which we all suffer and sing.
P.s.- Another one written just like Red Lust and Violet Juice. You can suggest the name for this particular poetic form, the rules of which are- (i) Three stanzas, rhyming scheme being- ABCD/DCBA/EE, (ii) Description of some strong emotion and (iii) Prominence of a color. And it would mean a lot to me if you would also write such a poem. Don’t forget to tell me about it.
