sediments of love and despair,
like a dose of a morbid orchid petal,
throbbing in my blue cheeks
my limbs are rooms, small pavements that you rock
small parts, dilating trembling stairs of life,
a star inside a boxed room of loneliness
revolving in the thicket sheets of air,
a haze and a backache.
a periphery of grapevines, strangling
telling me to be naked on the evil plates of loss.
i bite my lips.
i bite my lips.
my body is nothing but a voice of pain
shredding, autumn leaves
a loose fitted, transitory polar air,
cold, crisp and moist like
a surgeon bisecting my legs, my frozen tongue.
and i am nothing
only a figment of blurred smoke,
ashes like a solid piece of rope.
Wow. Stunning poem!

One question always comes to mind when I read your poetry. How does MVS go so deep into her soul to compose these dark and deep gems?
My body is nothing but a voice of pain. Wow.
But those last two lines. Perfection. Two of the best lines I have read all year.
You never cease to amaze me.

I don’t know. Maybe it’s the pain or something like that.
Thank you Andrew for always understanding my writings.
Means a lot.

Certainly, I would say, with my imperfect knowledge of class poetry, that this one is of a very high standard.
And for me that magic potion to be intoxicated every time I read, which I do several times when it’s from this poetess.
Thank you MVS

I have never read pain to be defined in such vivid ways and with a billion metaphor.
Some pieces always hit hard. I really liked the title you chose. I could have written a poem on this. Your pain it too inspiring for me, Devika.
