Odes Lost in Life - Hello Poetry

Soul

(to the one that ticks backwards)

Leaving the future
in a locked
wooden
chest,—
You dive into
the memories;
Deep;
Dark.
You seek only
birth.
But why?
Why
do you
run away from
death?

If you fear what's ahead, there is no path for you ahead...

Ode to Guilt

Wearing a
white gown,
decorated with
Lotuses,
you dance
in the midst of
the distant meadows
like a new-born
petal.
But, in the depths,
where bones uncover,
etched to my black heart,
a red handprint,
you left.—
Will you
ever leave me
in peace?

Be honest. Don't fall into traps. Cause if you do, it is hard to erase the scars...

Ode to a Raven

Shoved in darkness,
poking the grey mist
from the edge of
your crooked
beak;—
Murmuring omens
of death 'till
the life
ends;—
But why?
Why do you wait
for the fall of fame?
From the one drowned
in the seas of shadows,
may I ask:
Is your heart made
of black-Granite
Stone?

Beware of jealousy...

Ode to a Lost Button

From the tiny
chest of yours,
dangles a white
thread wrapped
in thick dust;
Your face all
etched with
cobwebs
grey;—
I found you on
my old table,
beside my
blunt needle
which I held
in my soft palms
fifty years ago.
Tell me,
will you?
Did your heart
belonged to
someone,
once,
long
ago?

A love so long, hidden, not knowing if it was so…

Ode to a Stray Dog

Snatched; Kicked,
out of the doors;
You run away
along the paths
in the midst of
the storms.—
Your visible ribs,
sunken abdomen,
soaked by the
tears of the
skies.
Does hunger
always rule your
life?

Have you ever felt anyone’s situation? It might be a person or an animal. What have you done then? Did you look into it with a kind heart or betrayed him?

Ode to River Nile

Fingers all stretched,
your arms wide opened;
As the mighty skies
shed their solemn
tear drops.
By them,
you soaked the
veined roots gently,
until green tender
leaves dance in
delight;—
Not earning a
single smile.
But why?
Why did you
reach out your
bare hands to
get scratched by
thorns?

The great people are not the ones who pass exams and achieve degrees. The great ones are the ones who serve the society honestly and trying to help others by listening to each of their wounds and reaching them to uplift their status. That kind of heart is very rare, but that is what the present lacks...

Ode to a Coffin

Why be so rude?
To keep yourself warm
in the freezing cold,
you stole my seat,
which I saved
long ago.

Did you know?
The Atlantic's mighty
seas shed their tears
'till no Mariana
Trench remained;
The Northern winds
kept swirling,
awakening the fury
of the Typhoon lord.
All in vain—
seeing my
vulnerable pain.

May I ask,
Why?
Why did you
bury yourself
deep down in a
place I cannot reach,
below my wrinkled feet,
leaving behind
a dead rose
in a black
***?

A loss hurts so deeply. The hurt may not be seen by others, it even may be due to their actions. But that pain...

Ode to a Lost Letter

(To the One Who Never Read It)

Words which silenced
the fieriest volcano,
Commas that held the
flashes of the skies;
Etched; Stitched;—
Like a spider web,
stuck in an Oak tree;
With no name written
at the end...
Tell me,
Tell me dear,
Do you remember
the first ink blot which
shed its tears on you?

Pain of not knowing to the truth, is the worst...Never let that happen...

Ode to the Last Golden Leaf

Why?
Why not leave?
The broken chain awaits,
for Autumn to rest.
Why?
Why do you imprison?
The snowy Winter—
gazing through
the hourglass.
Why?
Why so attached?
It's just...
only—only
—one life.

Be simpler. Be contempt with what you have. Don't get attached, just let it go...

Ode to a Forgotten Cup

Grey cobwebs stitched
in your broken handle.
Coal-brown dregs at
the bottom of your heart.
No taste; No sip;—
Only a kiss left on
your solemn cheek.
The curve traced of
chocolate on my jaw,
my lips that soaked
in caramel juice;
All dry;
Covered in dust.
In the depths
of your ceramic
lies the secret truths
that I never knew.
Tell me;—
Tell me,
Why?
Why, just us
lost in the
mist?

Broken Love holds the truths which we do not know...

Ode to an Unspoken Scream

Charged;
Defrauded;
Roaring with rage,
you hid in my
duct, hovering
a blanket over
you, closer
to my
vulnerable
left eye.—
You etched
a tear drop,
drowned in
silence.
Will you
ever let it
fall?

Have you ever hidden your pain to someone? Thinking it would do better?...

Ode to a Firefly

As the skies up high
bloom with dark sea blue,
when the moon forgets
its duty tonight;
Up you fly for
a ballet with the stars;
Glowing every
single black ray
with a golden spark;
When all asleep,
cozy, warm in their beds,
but why?
Why do you
light up the skies,
without keeping
the only left light
to yourself?

Be selfless. Don't just be in your comfort zone...Think out of the box...

Ode to the seas

Rough; Charged;
Tall as Mount Everest;
Boiling blood in
waves of rage;—
You blow them
all, by a gentle
breeze;—
Back on to
your cozy lap.
Is that all
because you
want to build
a nest;—
Not perfect
but, but a
better one
of phoenix
feathers?

At first sight, you may not get the hidden deeper meaning which I tried to interpret. It may sound incomplete, but it is not...
From this poem, Ode to the seas, it conveys the Bond of a Family & how it differs. I guess, even you have some kind of problem happening in your family. Just think for a second about this I say, during your whole time, haven't a single problem arose in your family? Have you ever thought about why its so? Why its not perfect?...
In my opinion, as I try to convey in my poem, perfect families mean that they have no such thing called family bonds...
