==============================================
Misery haunts in a painful flurry of thoughts!
==============================================
A flurry of thoughts, as I marry myself to the
dark thoughts of pain - the thoughts that pull
one down, to drown into the slippery womb of a
dragon with misery as an adjunct twin, clawing
with blue-blooded nails, come to the spiraling
head possessed by an equally vagrant shapeless
body, of a pathetic form called man. Why? Why?
questions haunt till they can haunt no more in
the most superfluous floating entities, those,
the more enlightened refer to as a brainchild.
Why does it have to pain when a child is born?
Is it so because of an unwritten code of life,
that from bloodied pain new life would result?
Why does it have to hurt when a dear one dies?
Is it so because we sense a trampling guilt of
being unable to do any thing to prevent death?
Purposeless questions and purposeless answers.
A flurry of thoughts on painful misery haunts.
Whom for do I weep? What for do I fight? Life?
Where from do I come? How does it matter? Why?
Ah! Complexities twinning simplicities of life
and death, as being dual states of a life form
and everything that exists in between supposed
to be fuzzy, useless, pointless, a shot in the
dark, just as the purposelessness of inquiring
the inquest into reasons behind celebration of
life and mourning of this culmination of life!
A flurry of thoughts on painful misery haunts.
The hunter becomes the hunted as the hunt goes
on from a fuzzy yesterday to an aimless today.
Misery haunts in a painful flurry of thoughts.
==============================================

Hi Sudhir,

Wow you have my attention on this one, I have had these thoughts before maybe not all in one shot but to answer them would be saying you have the answers and I don't, you would be a fun soul to sit down with and chat yep I think so, awesome thoughts here, thank you.

Love, Cerenity

Well now! Methinks someone has come across a form which he likes! And which likes him as well. Looks like you not only hit this form again Sudhir, but also matched the current repitition challenge in the English Workshop!

Wow Sudhir, a flurry of thoughts indeed, there is so much here for my tired brain to digest but somethings here just logged in me like hooks, powerful and poem I intend to revist a few times. Just going to cut and paste this poem.
