Imagination

By Vijaya Sundaram

Inquire of me, “Why do you dream?”
Merely to drift and spend your life
Always looking elsewhere down the stream
Goal-free, sans work, sans strife?
Investigating that which is dark.

“Notice all that hides in the shade
Alternating ’twixt flint and spark?
Traverse those borderlands and hark!
Ineffable beings are made —
Overlords of your world and mine
Nothing moves but that’s divine!”

Not satisfied with this, I tried another one:

Romance

By Vijaya Sundaram

Rapture and capture of their minds and hearts
Ouroboros that never splits apart
Matching souls that fit like hand to glove,
Astonishment thrills as they fall in love
Never-ending passion for one another
Ceaseless, boundless, (so they teach the other)
Ends in sad disarray when comes the day!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not satisfied with this one, I tried another one:

Sorrow

By Vijaya Sundaram

Sadness beyond all we know
Overwhelms, like clouds that grow
Rife with pain, regret and grief
Rue and rage that life’s so brief
Oblivion’s poppies seed our
World of pain, so full of need.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I give up!  Acrostics are harder than I thought!
