Symbols of tyranny

Once upon a tribal time

When we dwelt on spoils and errors,

Transcendent from paroxysm of spite

A rector trounced and evaded,

Espied extended silhouettes

Through his tangerine eyes.

                              

“I create as I speak

Some unspoken legends;

Turn on the dark

For I will exhibit

A cosmos so bright that

Light will obliterate.”

 

“As you ponder in my thoughts

A serene depth of broken bonds,

You will perceive but not

That of which I forbid.”

 

“Doth inherit what ye shalt

 If it art what ye seek.”

 

The Fire and moon swirled in violet

Till an aura the stars discerned.

Motes of memories that lay moribund,

Purled and transmigrated in a maelstrom.

Few flashes of stupor

Of an epileptic fit elfish face

Buckled against the heart of waves.

 

A torrent of thoughts echoed

Through the ears of life,

To bare a bedlam of beatitude.

A violet volition of vain lust

Had subdued within forever.

 

“Such are dairies of teenage odyssey

(Symbols of tyranny)

They perish before they begin.

Such was mine and so will be yours

For we slumber in chaos- meekly.”

 

 

“Thy scorching swirls hast tasted fire

and shalt inherit what ye desire

If it art what ye seek.”

I think there is a difference between critique and criticism.

You've chosen a huge theme here, and how does one go about describing it? Do words suffice? Ah, but that is the eternal challenge.

should we find words or should we describe vision? Should we stay undefined or stake pitons along the way to hold our perception anchored?

We all make choices and who has the right answers? Try writing different drafts and see which one speaks what you want to say.

Wow, Irfan Bashir Shah, what an incredibly powerful and well articulated perspective on such a big issue. I am very impressed & more than happy to become your friend. All Good Things, Neville

The idea (of a Tyrant/creator) reminds me of P.B.Shelley. I had to reread this a couple of times, which is a good thing, I think. Am I right to think that you're suggesting that all our greatest aspirations are formed in teenage years and then we have to live our lives out with that perfect hope unfulfilled?

i think that the powerful diction of yours have made this piece of writing so bold and thought provoking...it's something which made me read it again and again...also i was glad to read something which is being written in an old english format(because we really don't find anyone with this accent now a days..and so it became more interesting for me)_it's truly great..thanks for sharing it with us..

I am very impressed with the thought process behind this writing. The writing itself is complex for many feelings and thoughts. It is in a manner, very challenging. I really like it, but is one that I will need to read a couple more times, because I feel that I will get something new from it each time....and that is what makes it really good, if not great poetry ! Well done ! Thank you for sharing this work.

It's really a lovely piece although a triffle dark by far not the darkest. The imagery in this is beautiful. Something that makes you think to understand it. I will not say anything as to the true meaning about this because it is differently for any who read it, you have a good grounding in poetry from what I've seen. While the poetry is lovely it is not just a stream of words. On the other hand i do think this poem seems a bit old fashioned. Although the language is lovely it seems a bit superfluous for the general populace, but then again maybe your not interested in that.
