" To understand just one life, you have to swallow the world." Well i wont open the doors nor the windows to my world, but I'm ready to allow peep-holes!

A Prayer


In my ecstasy

let me live


upon my hard wood mattress

may my body rest


while i count the stars

that i may not see


i shall then

all those carpenters forgive.



on the seesaw of sorrow

let me play


while i slide down

the banister of life

as much of dismay


i shall forgive your blows

even if in so

i am sent to slay.



upon the trees of a desert land

where a thousand cactus can only grow


let me jump from tree to tree

as i dream of a green grass land

which seems to be from doom so free.



it is then

that i shall forgive this land of thee'

where a thousand errors are noted on me.

errors noted on thee...
the thing is that freedom in a realistic or existential manner is quite an enticing concept and so is pain...

pricky:

a bannister of life, is your support, something which can be seen as one's helping hand,power and so on and so forth. but at the same time, the same thing "may" help you go the other way-slide down too.
so banister of life may be different things to diff people.

tugga:

Quite frankly, I was touched. I browse many blogs of so-called poets and have yet to find something so unique, unstylized and flowing. I loved the image of the wooden matress and the carpenters. Excellent.

And amen to that!

thank you
i especially like "seesaws of sorrow" - for its alliterative quality and the truth of the idea
