Searing Recollections

Simmering simpering seclusion
seduced by sanity
Silly stoic stories
Enslaved by serenity
sexy shimmering shells
of something showing
thru the sequestered sections
of a shuddering skin

Shooting, shouting, stalking, 
Sneaking suspiciously
shaking the spaces surrounding

Riveting, revitalising, refreshing
reality resoundingly roars
ringing thru the carpeted room
ripping and rocking
the foundations rarely seen
reading the risky notes
of the raging reaper
repairing the rotten rhymes

Succumbing to the rhetoric...
--Shivangi Vyasulu

The Summit

Flashes of light
Gashed and bubbled thoughts
Minuscule moments of doubt
scrambled by a single sound
across the view a sense of peace
of belonging and acceptance
a long way off yet within reach
Lingering questions float and lilt
Gliding thru the open air
in a magical moment of telepathy.
The moment arrests
Wobbles
stumbles
Stabilizes
Ending with a smile on both ends.
