The sky lit up.
I sit here watching the clouds fight.
I realise here and now,
That this will be my life.
Watching sparks fly
Watching myself cry
Watching drops fall
Irresistibly cold,
Dark but for candle light,
And the sudden angry flashes
Stark rage
One after another
Again and again
Over and over
Always bigger, louder.
Then sudden stillness.
The sky rages no more.
The storm is gone.
All but my mind is calm.
I sit here watching the clouds calm.
Of light there's none.
Just dark and darker.
The rain falls still.
The candle is out.
The wax is cool.
My hands are wet.
The world spins.
Its time.
I can no longer wait.
I must sleep.
The anger can wait.
It will be there.
Tomorrow.
Forever.
Distilled and pure.

anna - no offense, someone had to keep you on earth

Nice one..Enjoyed reading it...
alright , let me ask you a question. I always end up trying to analyze the philosophy behind a poem when I read one.
Kinda like a painting. When you look at one, you also try to see more than the painting itself.
So should I read more into the poem or will it spoil the beauty ?
Vidya
P.S This is not about your poem but something that I ask in general.
Is ur trip to Kerala over??
- FJ ( You know me)
hey really good one... keep them coming!
@kk, khatta - thankeee!!!
@vidya - u analyze it, girl, however u want to. after all the poet's supposed to only write the poem.. not interpret it...
but do tell me what u think finally...
@fj - stop sounding so mysterious.. seriously.. was scared for a while there!!! thank god its just you!
