For my partners in crime

Ok... Last night was really stormy... Aakarsh's and Flute's poems made me do all this... dont blame me!


Poem-I: An Ode To The Poet

Shall I sing of the pen that watered thy thought?
Shall I sing of the paper that sustained thy thought?
Shall I sing of the time that nurtured thy thought?
Shall I sing of the Almighty that gave soul to thy thought ?

Nay--
I shall sing only of myself, blessed enough to relish thy thought!

Poem-II: Of Beauty Priceless

A thousand verses put together
Cannot rival a single syllable
Spilt from the urn of the heart,
A blossom of fragance incomparable.

No Frost or keats do I know
At this very moment of time,
For all I know, I wasnt there
When they created their rhyme.

Yes, I write poems too!
Not bad ones to be true--
But now, I prefer to be
As a friend of the poet free.

Such are the cruel ways of our times,
Only on a rare day is such beauty wrought;
Still my soul is in great climes,
For even this is cheaply bought!

Poem III : An Ode To The Divine Verse

My heart reels under pleasure
Everytime I glance at Thee;
It aches with elation,
burdened under the glee.

It is good Thou are not mine,
O creation so Godly and fine!
Had Thou were born in me,
Surely, my soul would have succumbed to Thee.

Kedar.

Chandu would ask you to speak for yourself! (Just kidding..)
bur really, which one of the 3 beats yours? (kidding again)

but really, I love that intense writing style... thats why I liked that Keats's poem.. thats why I like your poem. Seeing beauty in all its delicate and gory glory is the essence of life. If only I can write like this...
