Words Sail Through Chaos

Original Submission by Gargi Sidana

Words Sail Through The Chaos

Cusp of stains - lingers on the surface

Holy faith drools over cemented silence

I called off the meeting of two Himalayan blue poppies drizzling in crescent fall.

Passive poem stitches to my lavender gaze

Traditional stigma/ dogmas of piles of conditioning hurts/ in the middle of psychological beats

Beats of anguish, unfiltered yet morbid desires

Itch to fetch something clear; translucent sweat hopping over

Silly chain of turbulence,

Happiness slipped from my tongue

Naked truth soars in the paragraphical spiral of the brain.

I found scrumptious mango in the orchids of the lawn-

The alley of dramatic trauma shedding its layers of anxiety.

Whispers of endangered papers glued to downtrodden realm of reality

Reality exposing patriarchal friction between instinct and ego

Shudder the fantasy: dreams collide in a lump of Liverpool of salty mind

Stick hard...

A folder of emotions lies floating in the shrine.

The fierce trade of hope malfunctioned on the streets where human zombies latch onto an ominous, inhumane virus.

Playful cramps laugh through the corners of dignity

I subsidized the corporate charity of peace.

Peace succumb my orange breathe,

Lungs deflated to expose the chores of mundane language.

Language: inflated emotions draped in a gossamer fabric of duality; laminated and labelled in words.

It silently hushes in the curves of diabolic tales of a grandmother, implying a male-conditioned brain.

A brain that has loops of fragmented pieces of orthodox knowledge.

Sunshine never comes...

Darkness prevails on my skeletal muscles.

Man: A plethora of amalgamation of rituals, tragedies and societal norms drugged to elope the evil in him.

Man is the study of social chauvinism - clutching fragility in his palms.
