Leaving Reality

by Meena Krish   Mar 7, 2014


Light of life
yawns with grace,
earth unfurls
with diamond gaze

She gasps...

Morning tweets
opens reality's gate,
suffering lifted
as peace smiles awake

She gasps deeply...

Yellow roses bask
under a glowing face,
harmony flutters
for mind to embrace

She gasps silently...

Chained sickness
looses its race,
tears stay behind
closed eyes

Last breath escapes...

    I think as Darren mentions, the obvious lack of the unnecessary words/articles in this is what makes it exceptional. You really are left with a polished diamond of a piece. It's very easy to get caught up with too many words such as 'and' or 'the' as it makes
    writing a piece easier - but not better.
    This is a wonderful write, Meena.

    All the very best,
    Ben

    Take a poem, strip away unnecessary words and you are left with this gem. It flows like a professional piece, it has the gall to rhyme, but only a hint. I love the break up of stanzas by inserting asides. The descriptive narrative is very well done with real intelligence. I love the last two lines of the final stanza. Leave a real lasting image. Great write Meena, only wish I could say more.
