SOLITAIRE-1

The lone poet walks 
Along that dusty avenue
Lined with leafless trees
And cold stones of a lonesome hue.

Towards his deserted home
He walks on and on
On cold winter dusks-
The hours of a weak dying sun.

O' passers by! Stop
And behold his lonesome gait,
Maybe the lone remnants of
His cruel raging fate.

With the death of that weak Sun
His lonesome day ends.
Beneath those soils, warm,
A peaceful night he spends.

Nights pass o'er his grave
A handful of solace they bring,
Unkempt mementos; dark
And lost remains of a shrewd spring...

PSEUDO SONNET-13 (SHADOW OF HER MAN)

{ This is an experimental acrostic poem. This has 14 unmetred, non rhyming lines. }  S he walked down that deserted street... Alone. H er face stern to suppress flow of tears. A nd others smiling at her torn clothes, D ark cut marks, rewards from that beastly man, O n her limbs and torso, rewards from him, W ho had killed her man, profaning her love. O n and on she walked, beastly eyes kept smiling. F orbearing her from meeting those greedy eyes... H er feet dragged her towards that graveyard, E ntombed, where her man was lying, clad in orchids. R akes of city crept behind her... She ran. M erging with her shadow, someone gave her faith. A nd walked with her arm in arm untill her death. N one except her felt- the shadow of her man.
