In Disguise

by Satish Verma   Nov 3, 2018


Raising the walls
around you, you started
a ritual of placing a single
rose on the tomb daily.

Trapped in the blues,
there was a killer instinct
to destroy the self.

I become a flame,
passing through the flesh
eroding the body's mystique.

The ravage words
now sleep. A dying
moon will set the
night free.

It was an invasion by
deathless roots at night.
A slow music starts by puppeteers
to undo the potter's field.

    I don't always comment but I always read your poetry. Such clever word choice, just enough to paint the picture but not too much to over egg.
    The imagery and darkness in this piece is thought provoking. I'm always taken on a journey with your poetry. Nominated.
