Cravings

I desire the things which will destroy me in the end- Sylvia Plath

Image result for sylvia plath

Give me a cauldron, a soaked cotton firmament

multiplied and divided,

in the sunshine of cigars and the owls of dark

Pulverized ropes of hollow imagination, it flatters me.

I want to put my foot in the skull of my brain

and measure the elasticity, the gravity throbbing.

Your smell locks my lips, susurrous allusion

with your diamond dents and abstraction

Kneading your mouth to my skin

my pores to your arms,

loose like vapours dissolving into the colossal violet sky

So, I crave you and your moist   moist     moist     tongue.

A little does not fulfil my throat,

I want the dirt, and the limericks broke and joined

with the sustenance of deluge inside my veins.

The remains and ashes,

the blue-bells,

the clock between my mind and my doings,

insane movements, I want all.

Slick slurps of hatred and love

clinging my iris and legs.

I want all things bad and eccentric.

PS.-Because I am running out of inspiration, I could always find some,  from this amazing evergreen poetess. She is simply astronomical.

My poem on Visual Verse can be read by you all  here.

  2. How achingly sensual! Your writing invites me explore darker shades of my personality. “Your smell locks my lips, susurrous allusion
    with your diamond dents and abstraction
    Kneading your mouth to my skin
    my pores to your arms,
    loose like vapours dissolving into the colossal violet sky
    So, I crave you” those are my favorite lines. They drew me in your words bound spell.
    Ps: I love Mad girl’s love song by Sylvia Plath. So much talent.

      3. I hear the struggle. I feel it to sometimes. At times more often than not even. Reading other people, discovering authors you didn’t know before may open your eyes to new ways of expression. I will find a few poems from authors I like and share them on my blog later this week. Maybe you will stumble upon things you will like and explore new poetic realms 😉
        Ps: your words are beautiful, no matter what you feel right now, you just need to reconnect with yourself and you will see it too.
        Hugs my talented friend!

  3. Love this, Devika! I adore Plath as well. My oldest daughter is reading The Bell Jar. I dusted off my copy and am beginning to read it again after many years. It’s a favorite. Not poetry, but I love it also.

  4. Beautiful as always, again to quote Plath “I felt sorry when I came to the last page. I wanted to crawl in between those black lines of print….” because I didn’t want it to end 😊
