The Kingfisher

The urban man has been here.

gone are the muddy pools that splattered in the rain,
stirring dreamy emotional outbursts.

gone is the gnarled, prickly bark
that blossomed into thousands of deep red desire.

gone are the aspirations, the quest for a dreamer's fulfillment.

the flash of blue in the midst of green glade can be seen no more!

the urban man has hacked away its glittering voice and its keen eye


No more urgent splash of a clean dive into the still pool

No more dream of a silvery catch,

for, the urban Man was here.

Men beware
The tigress is on the prowl
She will enslave you,
Belittle you, devour you.

Poor creatures at her mercy
Waging out their tails at her beck and call

Pride yourself if you master her.
Slash her spirits, Stab her soul,
Unwing her.
Make her your own.

No Prometheus should ever be Forgiven.

mind that knew no bounds

The young mind that knew no bounds

But fettered by the contours of the body

Thinking the exterior is everything failed to step out

Only to be assured that it is my intelligence that matters

me?

What is the real me?

The little lass in me that wanted to scale the skies?

To yearn for the invincible

To look for the unreachable

To scour the clouds to try and etch my name amongst the stars

the wedge is driven deeper into the heart,

to bleed till death 'tears' me apart

each sec. do i sigh 

to think that it wasn't 'love' as thought i 

cannot mourn the passing out of joy,

cannot celebrate the coming of age.

fluttering egos clash in a golden cage,

'Love' was just another word, a mindless toy.
