A dancing light on the edge of horizon
Glistening into the DARK…… SAFE…. world
Opening ‘Doors of Perception’ for the blinded world
Testing the boundaries of the real & surreal world
Where people are strange of world
The enticing flame inviting you in
To his world full of snake holes & chaos
A spirited soul marching for liberation to a world of his own
Surrounded by his poisoned angels
Electric emotions passing thru their air
A world complete with constant chaos & mangles
An ever changing kaleidoscope made of colourful bangles
He sat on an old mountain with disgust at the misery of commons
Dancing with his weapons of ‘free Sprit’ & liberation
He set out to conquer peace & adulation
Showcasing his acts of heroism ‘Oh so proudly’
He will always be a deity of Desire undoubtedly
Peeping through his tainted window
At the world full of Funeral Pyre
Throwing words that cause a blizzard
The dark Wizard of Words lures you to
Leave you weariness behind
And soak you a dazed purple light to rewind
Oh Hail thee My Lizard King
With hollow snake eyes & eagle wing
The smoothest scotch rolls down slow when you sing
Wriggling heart calls you back & I wish I wore your ring
And In the end; we could do anything
Genius!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent!! Only a person truly in Love with the KING can write this...Loved it!

I really love 2 lines in this one:
ReplyDeleteHe sat on an old mountain with disgust at the misery of commons (You know what, its a true artist that knows the joy of creating his own work, and then the small hassles of life just seem so unimportant) Nice insight!
Dancing with his weapons of 'free spirit and liberation.....
The smoothest scotch rolls down slow when you sing
( I love the picture this line brings into my mind!)
Hmmmm: One doubt: A dancing light at the edge of horizon.........Does this mean to convey that he is beyond our reach???
Damn! Its complex as usual darling! Every time I read it, I come up with something new!!
Need I say more??!!

ReplyDeleteOne never knows who's windows are tainted..for better or for worse..the weeping ones or the one having chaotic spark of genius..marching to a world of his own!
ReplyDeleteThe meeting place of real and surreal would be the one where even i would like to be....where in the end...we could do anything..
Great imagery! Your intimidation tactics are sublime :) [Wish that your words too start causing a blizzard in the time to come]
