There Was A Time…..

August 30, 2009 By: Indigo Iris Category: Poetry


There was a time
when brilliance paved the way
No More !
Those days of glory,
of sincere notions,
when spirits sweet
tugged at the heart,
are a thing of the past
The clouds that hover
usher unholy storms
In the aftermath
what remains
is a terrible shadow.
For scums,
of the deadliest kinds,
now roam the earth

Maybe another star
will rise one day
And more pearls the oysters bear
to strike anew
a light so white
a spark so bright
that the glow of yore
would shine again
like never before
We await
We thirst
another encore !







I Wonder…

July 24, 2009 By: Indigo Iris Category: Poetry



What voices are these
in this space so wide
They ramble with me
to shores yonder,
to the depths
of spheres unknown
and forever snuggle
by my side.

What images are these
in this airy land
They draw me deftly
in a fiery clasp
and hold me tight aside
Such tangled web they weave
it’s madness,unplanned.

O so easy to fall
in this skein divine
I sink,I go under
Let me sojourn
a little while more
This is my abode,
my lay,
I’ll forever call,mine.



For You….

Endgame…

May 06, 2009 By: Indigo Iris Category: Poetry



Reaching her side

as my heart cried
I saw life ebbing
in slow motion
that fateful day
 
A haunted look

in the throes of decay

so awfully painful
my breath winced
refusing to stay
Sounds that came 
thereafter, gagged and slow
tore my heart apart
This was life morbid
tattered, at its low
Yet I saw a spark that said
You’re my own, my sweet, I know
I just know
A tug and a pull
That hungry lurch
Even without those words,
they said so much
Then that gurgled sigh
distinct, though dreadfully low
said, it’s time my dears,
bid me goodbye, let me go
As I recall today
those moments frail
trying to find clues
to those queries lame
Was it perhaps easy 
to let her part
To call it quits
To see her thus depart ?
I know it now
That deadly Chess and Castle Day
We were humans tame,
mere hapless onlookers
in Life’s Endgame



Will You Help ?

April 06, 2009 By: Indigo Iris Category: Poetry

Please ma’am,will you kindly help
this sad wretch, with a penny or two ?
I haven’t had a paltry morsel
for these last days few

Why such state of this lady here
Aloud you rightly wonder
You see, all my luggage’s lost
in that rail I travelled. Some blunder !

Please lend me your ear, ma’am
No, do not turn away
When you finally hear me out
You’d hate to see a soul fall into this fray

They took it all away, you see
My shoes, my trinkets and my books too
And made me a measly beggar
of the royal kind of late, in lieu

They hit me hard, very hard
And Gee ! Now I am all at sea
Don’t really know who I am
Strangely I’ve lost the real me

Where’s my home, my mom,
my dad and my sis, if I had any ?
They linger in my thoughts
in a maze of questions many

I’ve been walking a mile
No, many miles, from days on end
And now I’m mighty weary
of this life, I won’t pretend

So kind ma’am, will you please help
this sad wretch, with a little hope?
And maybe knock her hard too
so with her memory she doesn’t ever grope ?




Those Two…

March 13, 2009 By: Indigo Iris Category: Poetry

A wee bit of fun and frolic
I desire, he said
as if planning a war
Life’s a desert, don’t you know ?
An oasis is what I’m looking for
like an entrancing encore

In this strange quest
he put to rest
all the shock and awe
and her jitters
of many years

Did he pause to perhaps ponder
the floodgates he had unplugged ?
Disproving the pundit’s crap
by and by
she did flounder
This wasn’t her scene
yet she did go under




That Day…

February 09, 2009 By: Indigo Iris Category: Poetry

 
 
Lost moments
Lost thoughts
All in a day
of blood and death
The horrific lots

When the words came
It chilled my heart
fraught with such pain
It hurt even to start

In a flash 
Much was lost
A mindless pace
But at what grievous cost
A life was gone
but another throbbed
My flesh and blood
hurled to misery
His peace robbed
in that ghastly debris

Twisted sinews
Broken bones
“A drop of water please”
He cried in agonized tones

The scream that rose
died dizzily in my throat
“It was meant to be”
The Cosmos wrote
My mind was a wreck
My eyes feverishly wild
Yet I thanked the Lord
For He had saved my child






Jottings From My Diary…

January 19, 2009 By: Indigo Iris Category: Personal

 

Out of the hospital at last, so what if we have to make those occasional visits…I know the crisis isn’t over yet & that it’s going to be a long haul…but this too shall pass…as they always do…

      

It’s been over a month now & I’m still counting my blessings…in fact, I do it every moment… Thank God, Thank God, I say, for saving my son…  


Ah…Music…

I love this song, folks…hope you do too…














A Reason…

November 16, 2008 By: Indigo Iris Category: Poetry


Does the moon happily shine
just as bright
on your rooftop
as in mine ?

Do the stars wink at you
playfully donning
the role of a chum
before bidding you adieu ?

And the wind ever so mild
at times brazen,
does it ever whisper
‘Come,for a change,let’s be wild’ ?

Do you hear the violin play
slicing across the lonely shores
to make you dance
in abandon gay ?

Despite these zones so wide
splitting our forms far apart
Don’t you feel like I do
that we by our sides reside ?

This life has a reason kind
A mere ploy to judge and see,
to test us awhile, don’t you know
if thus our souls each other can find ?
