Dancing on Spider Webs ـــ Poem


The untrodden places in the mind
Where dreams flourish still
Imprisoned birds in cages
Of crude reality
Freed by the hour’s fantasies
Where I rule and cannot be ruled
World as fragile as
Spider webs

Wounded is the soul
From yesterday’s slap
In anguish she ruminates
Of retaliation and striking back
But no power left in her
To even sigh
Away, she runs away
In denial of
The irrefutable past

  5. If one slap gave such lovely verse, I wonder what if there were some more.

  6. Loved how this seemed to speak of dreams, and how fragile they are, especially when you wake up...

    Don't know how I came up with that, but you know, just go with the flow. LoL

  10. Another brilliant piece! Our minds with their ability to imagine and compartmentalize are certainly our most powerful and innovative tools - and you use yours so masterfully!

  11. So true. Life can be so fragile sometimes. You have such a unique way of getting your points across. I love it when I see that you have posted something new when I sign in to check my dashboard. (:

    I have been thinking a lot about the subconscious lately. People and concepts keep coming to me in dreams.

  15. Denial of the irrefutable past.

    Ruling and could not be ruled.

    World as fragile as spiders webs.

    Ddid you know that spiders webs are very resistant? I like to think that us "women" are like spiders webs, a glimpse of the world, being so fragile and still so strong.

    :) Nice, nice poem!
