Voyage In The Sea Of Pain Poem by jojji Kaka

Voyage In The Sea Of Pain

Rating: 4.0


On my rectangular patches of what used to be a mattress
Lies afew kilograms of my 18 year old body
The aura around is calm
But my mind is disturbed
I look around the corners
Darkness is slowly fighting for its place
With my candle light
Rain drops start splattering on the roof
Plum plum!
Like the days plums would fall on our tree house
In the back yard
But now covered by cobwebs
Cobwebs of uncertainty
The wind blows the pines in a distance
It blends into a sad rhythm
'tutaonana baadae'
The cavities of my tear glands,
Unable to supress the effect of the depression
Rupture in disgust
And Involuntarily gush out litres of tears
As I slowly rewind my ancestry days
Because I consider myself one
Of the days when everything was buoyant
When on blue waters id float
But the tale takes on another course
Down sank the titanic
On its maiden voyage
And in the same spirit......
Down sank my soul
And I slowly put out my candle
... And wonder into the night of nightmares

Suffering from any wound, external or internal, is a necessary condition for great poetry. Thanks

Very poignant portrayal of a disturbed mind is which is 'Unable to suppress the effect of the depression'. You have an impressive style. Thanks, jojji kaka. Down sank the titanic / On its maiden voyage And in the same spirit...... / Down sank my soul
