Resurrection


Her feet stuck

In mediocrity

Gangrene took over

Killing excellence


Her eyes got infected

With greed

Blindness was imminent

Darkening light


Her hands grabbed

Rich filth

Losing grip

Gradually


Her ears were spoiled

By Siren’s slime

Deafening

Reality’s thunder


Her womb collapsed

In emptiness

Spitting out

Her mutant soul

……………………………………..

As the moon rose high

Her corpse

Was devoured

By me

Giving back

Life

To the equal

She once was

  2. Lara Fabian, is one of my favorite artists. She can sing anything with a passion only to be equaled by a few others. And i love her ability to sing in many different languages as well. Her French and Italian for instance r flawless.

    Don't worry about the 'meaning' of this poem. Just let the atmosphere of it sneak into ur system, triggering whatever emotion is available.

    U got one thing right tho: It's a dark one, filled with anger, rage and sadness. But in the end there was a tiny ray of light eh?

  3. It's quite a prodigious leap from "devouring her corpse" to "tiny ray of light", Ayesha. I enjoyed the venom with which the words were arrayed; it's a wonderful tonic to the feel-good pap that inundates us on a daily basis.

  4. "the feel-good pap". Caramba, if i had known this perfect way of defining lame poetry, for sure i would have stolen it from u, and used it the time i wrote "Static Poetry".
