To drift each night with loneliness
Embark on a journey of solitude
and walk into live dreams of times I rued.
Oh! What a delicate life and such distress!
Yet I wake each morn; a petit songstress
to flutter and sing songs in multitude.
Each day a varied perch and altitude,
and a will to put myself to redress.
Come come o winter, and I shall trespass
a barn to bid time and write anew;
a song-a-day for each new sunrise.
Come come o misery and I shall surpass
all your determined promises untrue;
and drown you out with each song’s reprise!

Thank you Tame SheWolf!
This is not just a Poem boss!
Its a damn Sonnet!!!
Sameen ji this is really the superlative of brilliance!!!
You were supposed to send me some link for me decode this!!!
Thanks Fayesal! :) I sent you the link, now you try writing one too. Next up, let’s try a different style of writing!
I’m grappling with my monotone re. I’m in no state to try a new style:-p
Some very solid poetry there. It is no doubt a gift to express yourself with such brevity, eloquence and poise.
I have had the chance to read some of your other works in the past. But this one’s definitely superior to everything I recall in my mind.
You should try getting in touch with Prasoon Joshi! ;)
(And I very much doubt a reply would be forthcoming! ;) )
Thank you! :-) I shall try and do that! ;-)
