Benitto Pavithran Poems

Trodden paths and repeating misdeeds
Stared at me as I stood unaware
Pure as innocence and fresh as the spring
Ready to be cast into the dungeons of existence
...

I was lost in space and time
Unable to grasp what was happening
Was it zeal, love, or a manifold joy
I still wonder bewildered in your awe
...

There was once a time when hatred was my love
Turning all elements around into pieces of disgust
For this very life had seemed blank, motionless
Contempt was a pardox and success, an irony.
...

Maybe each one of us
Always feared the expulsion of reason
The abomination of life
The heinous discrepancy of being alive
...

There stands you
There stands them
There is a predicament
And a seemingly radical solution
...

I see these people
These motivated emancipated weebles
Tossing and tumbling in their places
With their ambitious disgruntled faces
...

Deep within the reality that is
Shimmers an aberrant perception
Besmirched by the utopia of eternal bliss
And aloof by the subtle deception
...

The Best Poem Of Benitto Pavithran

Apotheosis Of Existence

Trodden paths and repeating misdeeds
Stared at me as I stood unaware
Pure as innocence and fresh as the spring
Ready to be cast into the dungeons of existence

With my chin up in the air I strode
Across monotonous beats of a strangled routine
Took a wrong turn dreaming of a change
But found no reason for this mere existence

Gave up, overpowered by defeats befallen
And followed the pack towards games of default
Alas! That crave struck me again
So off I ventured into the thrills of existence

Lost in oblivion I found new joy
Like a charade of clowns my fate danced in front
With each intake of that mystic addiction
I began to let go into those fathoms of existence

Though pain was forgotten and bondages buried
Though it propelled me into galaxies angelic
Rays of purpose enthralled my psyche
And I had to subdue to the boredom of existence

But deep inside the mask outside
Hopes of a conqueror lay shattered and torn
Found revenge and solace in a physical utopia
Then fell back into the carcasses of existence

Then came this day not long after
When a lost innocence gained strength within
Empowered by the adrenaline rush
I soared reborn towards the retrieval of existence

And as torments of greed and delight came forth
Baffled I lay in that summer haze
Losing myself in perils of a wrought adventure
Gaining control over this jumbled existence

Then under cushions of stars a smile gave way
Piercing its daggers of contempt and love
Bringing life into this apocalypse of flesh and soul
For now I realize in thy awe and reverence
That I've reached the apotheosis of existence
