throbbing twilight

A Poem by poddar kushal

Throbbing twilight

----------------------------------------------------

 

A throb is coming alive,

It faces the cracked mirror,

And dares the reflection.

Jaded image speaks the tongue

Of an alien invader.

A throb makes me ignore you.

Light and darkness seems alike

Beneath the panes flows a creek.

There rises the body of

Touch me not twilight, still born!

A throb! Oh a throbbing twilight!

                       

 

( and then her innocent palm

touches my temple and thousand

sun is born to allay pains.)

I like the line breaks, making lines like these interesting:

"There rises the body of
Touch me not twilight, still born!"

No puncuation, but seemingly there is discontinuity between them, or perhaps not. It makes me ponder...

Another breathtaking work. The peace offered by a loving hand truly brings this poem calm to end it with. Cheers.

I like your different words and your incredible usage of them. Don't try to hard to be like us, you have gifts we could only dream of. A wonderful poem and idea!

I really like this quirky little throbber! OK your lady is standing close by, a gently romancit mood overcomes you, perhaps to your surprise I sense, and voila...throb! I like the cheeky throb daring the reflection! 'Touch-me-not-twilight' is a delightful turn of phrase. Does it mean a fading romance???

first of all, i really like the title of this. in two words you have captured a painful ache, growing darker. the cracked mirror that dares the reflection, dares it to feel...stillborn emotions, whole but not breathing, until the touch, like the touch of a great healer, imparts breath, giving life a chance. these images flow together taking this to the surface below what we show to others. well done.
