My Heart Is Dead As Dodo (Form: Tree Of Life) Poem by Harindhar Reddy

My Heart Is Dead As Dodo (Form: Tree Of Life)

Rating: 4.5


My
Heart is
filled up with
ambrosia to
swim through seas, fly via
skies and reach million dry
hearts yet in fantasia - My
heart turned deaf to tunes of gurgling
rills discoing daffodils, and natural
thrills.- My heart is dead, unmoved to view Joys
of jumping blackbucks and singing birds - My heart
is blind, unsighted by pains of mason building
castles while rain's drumming on their bare backs - My heart is blunt,
untouched by the
flight of little rag
pickers scrounging
for a coin when
sun is breaking
their raw butt, tut!

My
Heart is
a dumb shark,
unaffected
by cries of women,
raped for joy like toys and
burnt alive like chicks by pricks -
My heart is stone-dead, unswayed by
my comrades, the poor bubbles and red
rebels fight for rights and die in mystery
to remain as martyr - My heart is not a
loner but my limbs are numb, blood's cold, breath's heavy
as universe, wholly I'm dead, the ‘I' in all - oh god!
Make my heart light
like flying kite to
reach all with five
gateways, my heart
soars...but I woke
up and found none.
