Minefields

I am walking upon the minefields,
trying to trespass,
an impossible terrain,

 Yet,
continuing to tread, unstoppably,
because the sight of the tranquil soil,
faraway,
and ever bearing clouds of rain,
fill me with an inexplicable courage,
keeping me afloat,
e'en in these chains,

 But I detest, when I step on the mines,
and they burst, sending the tremors,
even where the peace rests.......

The Feet in Blood !

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Her gaze is set, At the wide spread ahead, Lights glimmer, Racing motors on the road, And noises undefined, From far away; But no landscape can collate, With the bruised patches, in her heart; No motors are at par, With the speed of her hastening thoughts, And no clangor as loud, As the shrieks of her caged soul; Blaming is like, Plucking the petals,  of a blossoming flower, To take the blames, Is like being pushed, To walk bare foot on thorns; It's a puzzle, it's a jumble, Her inner self is, Disarrayed, cluttered,  It's a muddle; Those moments are no more, When she was, Besotting to his eyes; When her tears made his eyes wet, When seeing her in pain, His heart ached; She is a reflection, Of the fate's rebound, In the broken mirror; She walks, On the scattered glasses, And Oh! My feet are in blood!

Shamelessness of the Human Mind -- (Shilpa S & Mark Rushing)

  Note For the beloved readers   :  Please note that if a poet and poetess collaborate, it doesn't state that they are romantically involved. Kindly avoid such perceptions. Enjoy the work. Thank you. Why are the misfortunes in life often mistaken  and taken for granted?  As if one should never feel the pains of life!  Instead with premeditated and calculated measures of wantonness  We ride into steady currents of pleasure and euphoria.  Never accepting the damaged caused! Or try to make recompense.  We pop in another placebo  and off we live out our fantasy  accursing any and all truth  that fits not our own perception of lies ..  Every morning among the first rituals  we perform to our self made deity  Is to wash our eyes with blindness ,  smiling hypocrisy unveiled,  shamelessly and unaffected we frolic  into the sunsets cast in layers of gui...
