Wars, romance, agonies, devotion,
metaphors, allegories and fables fervent
Trying to traverse the conundrum
vying for words
From Homer to Horace
and Virgil to Ovid
From Kalidas to Dante
and Tukaram to Shakespeare
Wislawas few and Emilys rare
And the nameless sundry that continue
to pour themselves
through words and verses
Trying to string the bow
aiming to at once pierce
The enigma of human predicament:
Girted by beauty and bliss unrivalled
needing no words or verse to unravel
A song that's here for each to hum
be it a bard or a commoner
Yet managing to brood and bury oneself
in the glum of proportions unsaid
Remaining untouched, deeply entrenched
within each heave, every bosom
The unending stores of reasons
to stay glum as humans
Just look up, over the horizons of your ears
The world is waiting
A poem peerless writing itself
each moment
A song singular crooning itself
each breath
To read the poem ineffable
that will continue to defy all words and verse
and will ever remain unwritten, unsung, unheard.
Will you be there?
