Sweet Revenge Poem by Abdul Wahab

Sweet Revenge

Rating: 2.5


He has crossed over the Everest
The line of limit to criticize
Even not a piece of grace
Or a drop of water
Has gone free
He is in such an audacity
Says Kanchenjunga

Poems are dark clouds
Blood- life- joy even heat beats
Behind all of these there is nothing
Only darkness

A deceit
A movement of surprising hopelessness
Your smile is the whip of lightening
And white teeth, the hood of a snake

Thoughts are like the milk of a crane
Tears of a crocodile
Very superfluous
The blessed boat is without direction
Just floating like a straw

Philosophy is there
There is a goddess of life
But no life in her

There is a movement
Speed and motion are there too
But whirling in a circle
No shore, no destination

Perhaps you could not understand
This is my negative capability
The power to destroy
To create a new

You are not less responsible
Behind my this type of behavior
As you have humiliated me a lot
As a poet as a writer
And I took a sweet revenge
Placing upon in front of you a lot of poems
But you told me really these are not
Thinking all are only mine
Without knowing that some of them are
of your favorite poet, your “guru “.
