Delusions Poem by Valsa George
Delusions
A thousand bees never settling down
buzzed within his head
Their confused drone, into a ruffled rumble grew,
lengthening into frenzied drum beats,
taking the might of roaring waves
or gaining the momentum
of a plane, prior to take off.
Mind lacking coordination
Limbs receiving discordant commands
He suddenly hurtled in to the streets
Stepping out from regimented norms
And breaking loose the tether of reason,
Never walking, never running
But scuttling from side to side
Like a piece of drift wood over the current.
Hearing the cawing of a crow
Suddenly, he into a prophet grew
Stood with arms outstretched
waiting for the crumb of bread
to be dropped
in the manner Elijah was fed
by the raven in his lonesome cave.
Seeing the audience swelling bigger
He was enthused, greatly cheered
The riff- raff and the scraps
Swarmed around to see the show.
Mounting the steps to the pulpit,
In unfaltering voice
And with fire in his words,
To the congregation,
surveying him with fun and sneer,
He thundered………
"The Doom's day is near"
With finality in his tone, he said
"Repent and flee from the wrath to come
The tree that doesn't bring forth
Good fruits shall be hewn down
And cast into eternal fire."
The transition was quite easy
He scurried from Elijah to John the Baptist
And from John the Baptist to Elijah
Oscillating between
Sense and non-sense.
Good fruits shall be hewn down, Beautifully composed poem ever expressive with nice feelings. Enjoyed reading.
Yes we are swimming on a river of delusions......Valsa......every journey into the past or the future is complicated by delusions.....a great write with great imagination
A lovely imagery where it seems that during writing this poem, on the back of mind - poet was concerned about the current abusive happenings around the world and neighborhood too.
As I do not have complete knowledge of Christianity, I could not understand this poem up to the extent to write a comment.. However I understand that if one swings between two beliefs he is a victim of delusions. Before making a belief one should think twice and go through its verbosity, otherwise one will behave like a mad man.
I have witnessed some of them on the streets. The two last paragraphs resonate with me. Great presentation and wonderfully versified. Five Stars! ! !
A well expressed and beautifully crafted poem depicting a person afflicted with a disease that affects the mind. It expresses and shows vividly a pattern... strange behavior and utterances of a person suffering from such sickness.
The second stanza lines give the theme of the poem, I believe. As Simone Harriman down the line observed, the poem is about the unfortunate suffering of the person affected by the disease. New Testament I have read. The way you have crafted this poem is to be really appreciated. Good diction, good poetic sense 10+
The transition was quite easy He scurried from Elijah to John the Baptist And from John the Baptist to Elijah Oscillating between Sense and non-sense....... Intensive ending with nice theme. A beautiful poem expressed brilliantly.
