Written In Your Honors

By Chethan N Murthy

I glanced the time Hours and hours had passed by crumbed papers filled the trash

Empty mind, empty page Heart sobbing silently in rage.. Sips of whisky drying on my tongue Unable to spill the ink, I grunge… I wait and wait to scribble few words Words sprouting from my oasis of emotions Slayed splayed scorched by your thoughts My caged heart fidgets, parched by this drought…

Come pour torrentially into my oasis Turn it into an ocean Let the tsunami of words flow on this vacuous paper Splashing splatting with dots and dashes Captivated feelings reincarnating from the ashes… Emblazed by your vivacious metaphors When read, your highness Finally into a poem written in your honors…
