When transformations have gone wrong
Highlighting the secret efforts of twilight zone
Ruination has coerced the souls to quieten
Day’s smiles and evening grandeur are feigned
Gated entry to world of boundaries
There is no freedom for the trees, birds, and winds
Once verdant valleys look misshapen
Uninformed sculptors destroyed the natural essence
Reconciliation with the unnatural world
Aesthetics is a long forgotten philosophy
Breathing forcefully within the confines of a book
Uprooted, life breathes on unemotional theories
Minds hobble with unease to a designated world
Boundaries will determine the dreams
Long shadows of tiredness will kiss the gates
With feeble effort to convince the iron will©

Ahhh to have strength to break free from the facade of normality which feels so uncomfortably accepted…
Your writes always leave me feeling and thinking..

Well, I agree with you, Taruna, “facade of normality”, which for me seems contrived idea that the world has come to accept and we look for a method to hide behind it.
We accept the uncomfortable reality and thus term true freedom as non-conformity. Strange logic we have at play in life.
Thank you so much, you always pick the essence of my poem. It’s wonderful to read your comments. 🙂

Again…the last two lines leave an impact that will haunt me for a while!
I think you structure your poems very well…it’s just when the reader is done and almost moving to his next post that you create that fantastic moment that holds the attention of the reader! Well done.. I’ve got loads to learn from you!

Thank you so much.
I guess all the feelings percolate and express themselves in the form of a strong potion, that awakens the mind.
The finishing touches to the imagery created is important to inspire the readers to think. 🙂
