Desert Rose: Part 3

This one is called 'The Rising'...

Another night 

It's her pride 

In the desert she rose 

To a great good height..

One foot-step after another

miles to conquer 

There she goes again 

Unaware of what is waiting in the end..

Not even one gallant man 

ever known to desert tribes 

Have returned alive 

From the pastures where heaven confronts 

In orbital display over The land of the Unknown..

There they hold fortunes of every man, women and child 

In their circular stride the planets revolve

Whizzing up each one's life 

as they go along..

There she was with terrible anticipation 

Her future they behold 

of the coming to know..

She has to touch their soul..

Protect her own from being intertwined

with many others 

That live within..

The road to the revelation 

Is a game of no faint heart..

A struggle that can only be felt

It is an unseen battle..

Pain of dying men

Sorrows of centuries 

Treasures and luxuries 

She will walk past them all..

of all the consuming feelings 

she has to guard her own...

The ghost lights will bear 

The vision of her goal: 

Her task is to follow the ghost 

Let not a spec of thought touch past her imagination..

Or otherwise;

She will be forever trapped 

In somebody else's world..

Sucked into and carried away 

to somewhere no one knows of..

Wow your a very unreal writer my dear friend:) I really enjoyed reading all:)

[Clockwork]

This one is a beautiful display of how this person rises through everything she is facing and seeks to find her own way, lest she be "forever trapped/In somebody else's world.." I like the theme of freedom and the search for identity that you have built into this series of poems.

Thank you Jack..cross fertilization of artistry I guess :)

[Leslie Philibert]

I very much like the idea of writing a series of poems,something I have up to now not tried, being very (to put it badly, jumpy in my choice of themes). You are doing very well, the style. the imagery all fits together well, this is a project doing very nicely !

[PP]

Thank you for liking and motivating me Leslie, thinking of expanding this to a book, what do you think?

[Pete Langley]

I haven`t read the other two parts yet, Prathama, but I don`t think I need to before I form any impression, though I may be way off in my interpretation....first, that you have produced a many-layered reflection of isolation, both personal and political, based on a conviction that contact will somehow contaminate. Your analogy seems to remove your subject to an orbit (maybe the moon?) In any case, I love the poem and the images it creates. P.

[PP]

hahaha Pete...you don't know where the subject is at the moment!! Neither do I (LOL) may not be to moon, but certainly to a different word where things are weird and different! Thank you for this review as always :)

[B-poet]

A great piece for adding to a wonderfully finished written trilogy in the making. Great job. :)

[PP]

Thank you Bpoet...so much imagination in my head it hard to contain them just in my mind :)

[Rita L. Sev]
