Smiley Poem by rinki nandy

Smiley

Rating: 5.0


Curve on the lips pointing towards the left,
purpose in concealing smile by theft,
fear concluding the tilt dutifully kept,
sheen so sacred for the humanly unkempt,
lie defeating truth and questions attempt,
to bury secrets and the joy when you wept,
need to monopolize the time which left,
madness and intensity thoughts forget,
dependency nurtured and eyes never slept,
fate divine and destiny inept,
an act occupied for the search to wait,
lie pities truth and puts on bait,
mysteries and lies famished minds ate,
faith and ego loneliness bates,
preference of truth gifted mind hates,
appetite for imagination creates,
remoteness from object who deject,
unrequited expression to the faces reject,
fables of a drunkard enthused by intellect,
memories alive must you regret,
innocent cries must they neglect,
euphoria weaved in mystery,
occurrence of mastery subliminally,
a beam frowning continually,
answers buried faithfully,
bluffs me entirely,
uncanny riley of a smiley.

So many contradictory perceptions the poet have tried to implement in a single body of Smile. Naturally reader becomes perplexed to get the right idea which poet has tried to communicate behind smiley Though it is well-known, poetry is not the article which is written under a caption. Anyway, a brain teasing spices are saturated with the writing, so, so many talks coming out from readers conscious mind. Thank you. And yet object the idea, preference of truth gift mind hates rather sometimes hatred object being uplifted to the height of its truthful identity and serenity. Regards, Apoet Bangla.

Smiles are always enigmatic as of Mona Lisa …actually we never smile just make a show of smile…’preference of truth gifted mind hates, ’ truth is questionable but TRUTH is unquestionable and unchallengeable… ’innocent cries must they neglect’…it is the away from TRUTH ‘lie pities truth…’ Vide supra Indeed a slicing poetry with food for deep contemplation….thanks sharing Rinky… Ms. Nivedita UK 10/10

Wonderful and mysterious smile! You have weaved so many things around it that one marvels at your masterly art and rhyme. Since gifted mind does not prefer truth, want to be away from object which reject them, so this smile with all its purposes and tilts, secrets, and waiting bluffs the poet continuously: I think you have power-packed the smile! Thanks.
