 Ravana......

Standing amidst the dynamic crowd,
A bubbling marsh,
I saw Ravana, the demon ignited again this year
In a fire harsh,
The blaze was never allowed to turn cold.

And as smoke rises like clouds of annihilation,
The retreating summer regains the heat,
I could feel the cold breeze adrift a common pain,
I could hear
The sacred story of
Revenge and hurt
A tale of victory re-told!!!

But as I looked at those ten pairs of eyes
Do I see trapped inside, a fallen soul, a plight?

Does he look sad to me?
As if held and led to continuity.
Captured in a callous theme of
A painful destruction
And a start of resurrection...

I looked at him, silent and surprised!!!
The hate was quietened now which was boiling inside
My mood turned sombre
And I rushed away to quit those moments of fleeting violence
Why I had been so unreasonable, so rash
Relishing a game of decay, of dust, clay and ash!!!

Who I am to blame him of a reprehensible truth?
When the same traits I aspire,
When my posture is equally mauled,
When I also strive the ambition of nothingness,
When a fist is always clenched inside my mind,
When I, a fallen man who holds inside,
A soul which flutters of a blood thirst, a fight!!!

I walked into my room
Which shares the outside pungent smell,
And in the distance I could hear
Sounds of delight swell
The Ravana caught in the theme of lost and found,
Cheers rise up that rimless ground,
Leaving behind the final end of nothing.
A calm distress all it leaves,
Inside all, A misspent something.

A very good post. The mixture of good and evil, highly undistiguishable, present in every one. There is no line, no mark to show where good starts or evil ends. Very well projected with the burning of Ravana.

Many souls existing today became the Ravana within. The real triumph would be when one kills the evil within and do some good for the humans around. Some sympathy, care, compassion are the rays that need to pierce every heart and soul.


Loved your poem and the way reality has been portrayed. You do have a way with words and expressions. A pleasure reading you.

Tc.Smile.

Ravana's ten heads represent the ten crowns he wore as a result of his being the sovereign of ten countries.
