    Struggle

    An odd awareness
    Rushes up creating nausea

    Going down rattling
    An ultra sensitive feeling

    straight from the back of my head
    a very suffocating thought

    a massive crash! the process stopped
    i look back with closed eyes

    just to live
    …………..pretending
    ………………………bigotry
    ……………………………...cheating
    ………………………………………..schemes and
    …………………………..…………………………..lies

    No struggle
    No protest
    In life?

    Would the depth of understanding
    And the height of ethics be lost from life with out direction?

    Must have to win
    In the battle of life

    Or retracement will take place from that iron determination
    Or will they push you down
    Slowly
    ……..little
    …………..by
    ………………little
    ………………………step
    ……………………………by
    ………………………………step?

    Park Bench

    Like Rose-ensanguined ivory
    A shape appears now, to him
    Like vapours steaming up his behind
    The Park Bench sits dizzy, blind, shelterless
    Alas i wonder at, even pity
    Those who recline on yonder Bench
    Pain is the element found
    When a single ass
    Is placed on yonder Park Bench
    The only sound that will assault his ears
    Is a mournfull tune, Oh Danny Boy

    Anger Management Of A Golf Driver

    You Arrive With Your bag of tricks
    You pull your Penis warmer of your Driver
    Strut to the Tee gripping your Phallic like Club
    Picture the ball as your worst enemy
    Grinning at you from atop the tee
    You perform a little waltz
    With your last movement
    Being that of a Ballet dancer
    Standing on Toes
    Dancing on eggshells
    When you connect
    The driver squeals like a little Girl
    You gaze down the fairway
    Watching your ball disappear
    Into a green forest
    Veering left into mud and water
    Your enemy has disappeared
    Oh well at least you have reached some sort of climax
    You have many more enemies
    Many more balls with faces

If you are a poet from India, send several short poems or one or two longer ones to VOICES OF INDIA care of my POEMHUNTER member page. Also if you could recommend any other poets or background information on Indian poetry, Theresa Haffner at Poemhunter.com.

    Trapped within the Minds of Poe
    By: Adam M. Snow

    Once upon a nightful somber,
    entranced within a loreful slumber;
    a murky pass it feels to be:
    this dream, this world it calls me.

    Dragging, falling deeper within a void,
    my mistress Fear and I devoid.
    Clinching my chest, my racing heart pounds,
    alone in darkness with many sounds;
    one in particular from a raven afar,
    'Nevermore.' said he with my ears ajar.

    Intrigued was I by an outspoken raven
    perched upon a branch, in a realm of non-haven.
    'Nevermore.' said he, spreading wings to flutter,
    " Where am I?” I whispered in terror, utter."
    " All that I see or seem
    is it but a dream within a dream?"
    but the raven he quoth again, 'Nevermore.'
    lost I feel, lost evermore.

    The raven vanishes, taking me back to slumber;
    waking again with my eyes a somber.
    Finding my hands and feet a bound,
    above a pit with a pendulum confound.
    Approached by a man thought to be dead,
    Poe he spoke with so much dread.
    'We loved with a love that was more than love.'
    spoke he, as I lay watching the pendulum above.

    It swings with a flutter as it slowly drops to me,
    my voice is muted; I am force to see
    as the pendulum drops, my flesh gets torn.
    My eyes again fell somber as I forlorn.
    I close my eyes welcoming death,
    getting ready to take my last breath.

    I feel it wash over me, it is just that;
    my memories flashing like tat.
    This nightmarish of a dream, I feel forsaken;
    my sorrow; I could not awaken.

      Ouch! Harsh critique. Mean words from a " poetress" . I've gotta come to this guys defense. New words are added to Webster's Dictionary pretty much yearly, I think, right? Maybe Mr. Snow ... more
