Greedy Eyes Poem by kanav justa

Greedy Eyes

Rating: 5.0


thee ascend towards sun
Tempted by the shining light
Eventually consume you in her
Feel the gloom of the dark night

Armored skin with robe of greed
A dream of fortress in the sky
Citadel on earth mightiest falls
Man made gods with time they die

Thee exist in clemency of time
Death conceal in some invisible cloak
Slowly merging with your life
Light from sun thine blood it soaks

Marching high with glory dreams
What good what bad it comes your way
Vague visions never seeks the truth
Dead and rusted eyes don't pray

Love lost from two mates in love
Like love we worms will all evade
Some might burn so white and bright
Rest of us with time will fade

Watch your footsteps where they go
Towards the end you swiftly roll
The pleasure you have been seeking for
Lay obscured in your mighty soul

i see that i missed what i think is a misspelling or misused word in the line Towards the end you swiftly role. i would write roll, not role. roll can be a noun (a type of bread) or verb (like a ball rolling) . to me (without checking my dictionary) role is a part an actor has in a play/movie. i came back to this poem after receiving a nice message from the last poet to comment, shahzia batool. so i read and approve of her comment (of course!) and peeked at part of this poem again. i DO have high regard for kanav justa, even though i don't praise this poem. bri

yes, the rhyme-scheme is not ab ab but ab cb if we apply this rhyme-scheme to all stanzas separately, as 2nd and 4th lines are rhyming together in all stanzas. Mr.Edwards comment is honest and it might help you take a high and fearless fight somewhere in future.It is better than a simple praise. In poetry sometimes we concentrate on conveying the point in mind and not on grammar, that is also not bad, but grammar helps us paint the images better, and we all are learners. As far as understanding is concerned, nobody can claim to touch the deep-structure of the poet's mind, that's why poetry is open to interpretation.sometimes we can pick a line, like: Watch your footsteps where they go! ! !
