The Genesis Of An Unknown Poesy
Soffy Nongmeikapam *
Poetry in my life
Is a chronicle worth mention,
A cataclysm of ruins
Was where i treaded
And wretchedness cave in
as it fed upon me.
The souvenirs of keepsake-
Hidden phobias and anguish
I was drunk on it.
All the appalling memories
commemorated in equal measures,
Absorbed with loins of emotions
until it spilled from me
Into a balladeer's unison.
Emotions to a many inspirations
when my poetry took
it's own voice.
Thoughts and words
entwined in a rhapsody.
Here lies my vein
where poetry surges slowly
in the pursuit of obsession,
with an inherent tranquillity
to hearts solitude.
So i set upon to write
on every facets of experience
And every kind of thought.
Hence upon in poesy lies
the unravelling of the mind.
