The Slow Death Of A Bard Poem by Sathya Narayana
The Slow Death Of A Bard
Boss asks euphemistically
“You’re not the same force you were once”
Friends demand anxiously
“Hey! What happened to your antics and puns? ”
He smiles at once and embraces silence!
What can he say of something he wishes to suppress?
There is always in heart, something hush, hush
One cannot divulge and publish
For a pure materialist
This heart is a bloody pump-set
And for a staunch spiritualist
It is a holy nest where God rests
But lo! For a frustrated bard
His heart is a live hearth
Where there is no birth or death
For pain, laughter, love and hatred
Burning there are hell-fires
Evaporating his every dropp of tear
He is a static stolid volcanic cliff
With no hope for love and no love for life
He is left to watch the remnant soot
Of his unrecognizable past
Writing down on his inured inner rampart,
Slowly, letter after letter, his suicidal note
Soon we may hear his last melodious tune
When that over-burnt heart-hearth breaks open
Excellant piece dear satya. Keep on composing. Satisfy your soul. What happend to your book publication?
Sathya ji, A nice descriptive poem about the slow dying 'Bard' - who sings his swan song! I liked your poetic third para! - Raj Nandy

wow that was amazing write....hope you are not writing from a personal xp though 'He is left to watch the remnant soot Of his unrecognizable past Writing down on his inured inner rampart, Slowly, letter after letter, his suicidal note Soon we may hear his last melodious tune When that over-burnt heart-hearth breaks open' well I feel like this when I look back at past...but you know what sir....even to commit sucide one needs great courage..there are some people who live, only because they dont even have the courage to commit sucide..life is like that I guess..macbeth said 'Life is but a waliking shadow Poor players that struts and frets his hour upon the stage A tale told by an Idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing' nice poem indeed sir..10++
