Of Barren Lands And Deserts! ! Poem by Siddartha Montik

Of Barren Lands And Deserts! !

Rating: 4.6


seems like I am getting drawn to
the beauty of barren lands and the deserts,

as fiercely as I go in my best efforts
drying up every drop of love that never quenches my thirst!
the pain is getting so dry,
I am getting in love with the dryness!

eagerly waiting for a sharp and cold knife
to rip me off..still standing there to fight it off,
that it just melts down and then dries-up..
so I find my dryness to go ahead! !

coldness is enough.. this coldness
is so enough.. I got so frozen-up,
as much as my wishes and pleads for love!

find no warmth in these
cold hearts.., no warmth,
all is good now go find my place
in the scorching heats,

get burned and be happy
spreading the warmth like Sun,
to every coldest of the hearts,
that might freeze another heart, otherwise!

very real experience. I applaud you for putting words to this dry desert condition of life-one that clings to the bones. This really impressed a theme of survival to me. I like the way you write, it is clear, but maintains an edginess. I liked how you wrote I am getting in love with the dryness, not only because that is a very profound experience but because you made the wording very unique!

I quote Rilke:   Then this is guilt if anything be guilt: not to draw out the freedom in the one you love, with all the freedom we can find in ourselves. We must when we love do this one thing: Release one another, for to hold on to love comes easily, and need not at first be learnt.

A deep and meaningful piece; I presume it is about making do with past experiences to shade light on others and make the world a better place.

Barren deserts are warm a place to go to when you feel the cold.
