Paint my soul black

Paint my soul black

A Poem by Gaurav
"

That's all

"
Its for my love to the north God
and hatred most to all swords
that i now pronounce you all coward
that soul is maligned and left scarred...

no sympathy for his body bleeding abrupt
when inside some births have got corrupt

so rot or cry or burn in hell
its a goddish attempt to plan a shell
a shell that captures all of us
while no soul need to stay dwell

she died the day 
your flesh developed
mesmerized your eyes
were just momentarily and fake

so no more love to all the Gods
rest is not a rest at all, peace is a dogma
a social bullshit to keep you in a shell
a shell that is built of bodies
and where soul is scarred

let me say the wind is changed
black is the goal 
where bodies are turning
black is where
the shell will be
and black shall be the soul..

let me say it true and clear
i've not said a truth since time
we are just a nobody in here
death is what we will cheer
'cause no one enjoys life
its a piece of s**t and bluff
closed eyes is the moment
soul awakes 
that's why its called RIP
a bliss in a blip

what are you doing or what have you done?
accepting it all 
feeling it none

let mind not go nodding
will it rebel ever, bro?
let mind run its path
while you know
that will it last in the blast
blast of social structures
and plans
in the end, you know
it will blast
it always had...

and let me come to me
when i say truth to you
my eyes blink at me too..

let me say it all again
i was born with it all
now its just some brave withdrawal
days of damn and love and lust
i've gone through the winds of change

looking at stars and wonders at them
is what made me who i am
my eyes are not curious outward
it resides in itself and lost
lost in graveyard of junk
that came since big bang
lost in every bit of dust
and what made it last..

i talk to you sometimes
and life seems buried in some box
then i find the culprit is brain
going from east to west
with no reason at all

some words of wisdom i write on my pyre
"seldom have i said that it was going to waste
but what matters are the words unsaid...
mostly it's like a doll of mud going inside the sea
and i am going there to rest for a while..
when i come will i see it anew 
or will it just
be the rolling further down of 
me in my past?
will i be one of dying stars
or another man with falling  heart?
will i remain broken and lost
or will there be a God to watch?
Yes, it's my dream to watch
Him start 
how it ends doesn't matter
why it starts 
and why it stops?"

Wow...think this is a favourite of yours for me...the purge is palpable, the depths of darkness tangible. The roller coaster of emotion is shattering in this piece Guarav...a brilliant poem of despair and yet somehow conviction also, both are possible in those times where shadow reigns :)

The misery here is as real as it gets, as if "buried in some box" (nice!)
And this line holds such significance for this reader: "how it ends doesn't matter"

Bravo Poet!

Thank you for your review :)
What I love about this outpouring of frustration and misery . . . every so often you devolve into some crass line of exasperated swearing . . . these are like punctuation marks here & there to show how utterly crude this narrator feels, unable to polish the words in a poetic way. Most of your lines sound poetic, mind you. I'm just saying these occasional bursts of profanity are well-placed & effective. Some write a long piece of misery & put too much profanity thru-out, which waters down the intensity of using profanity. You use profanity judiciously & it's more powerful that way. This is actually a very artistic rendition of misery. I really feel how bad this guy feels in many different ways, but the suffering is so creatively crafted, it feels like a soliloquy of woe, in artful ways (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
