Dust On The Mirror! Poem by Subbaraman N V

Dust On The Mirror!

Rating: 5.0


Indolence blocks effulgence
Ignorance swallows intelligence
Arrogance eats brilliance
Adamance fuels anarchism!

Jealousy blinds compassion
Envy engulfs erudition
Anger gulps ambition
Lust kills affection!

All may be a transcient phase
Just as dust on the mirror's face
And moving clouds shadowing moon
Returning its eternal light sure very soon
With wit and will we can erase
And lend glory to life sans the evil trace!

Brilliant write! The poet with his rich experiences in life seems to have a quick-fix for every problem that stares in our face. The title is so very impressive. Negative and positive emotions have been described so wonderfully. The comparison of the temporary nature of the negative phase with clouds and moon is so creative. Kudos to the poet's imagination!
