Of Tales That Will Never Be Told.

An unlikely congregation.

You and me,
and all of our friends.
Some old,
most found anew.

Whispers passed,
among prattle and cheers.
A twinkle caught,
by one too many.

The illusion,
of much being said.
When realities
stay much too fragile.

Perhaps a skeleton,
waiting to tumble out.
Or a secret- bound by faith,
and a forgotten promise.

Distortions, scandal,
deception, treachery.
Lost in days of inebriation,
and nights of debauchery.

Hiya Sherry! Just found your blog and its fabulous! Is it ok if I blogroll you?

And you have a Picasso on ur blog page..brilliant..my blog is named after him! :)

And I simply cannot decide if I love the poem more or the picture..:)

Subtleties, very appropriately labelled. Lines I liked the best
"The illusion,

stay much too fragile."

@ mgeek : I'm a big fan of Dickinson.

Though I think the non-rhyme is reminiscent of T.S. Eliot, and erratic punctuation is more characteristic of cummings, of whom I'm an even bigger fan!

Sherry Wasandi said...

@ Tangled up in blue : And I just found many reasons to love yours! I intend to lurk. A lot.

I absolutely love Picasso. Even more than Dali.
Particularly fond of his works from the "blue" period.

Thanks. For the comments and the blogroll.

@ Misanthropist : Ahh yes. Subtleties.
This happens with everyone I suppose. There are many layers to familiarity. A congregation of people can never be homogeneous, despite appearances.

- Favourite :)

"My father moved through dooms of love..." is so poignant. Cummings (e.e.cummings, for the exacting fans ;-) ) is awesome. He penned that after his father died in a tragic accident.

Sherry Wasandi said...

@ Mer-curial-maiden : *smiles back*

@ mgeek : I haven't read that one yet. Will do so.

Deboleena said...

Little interjection here:

Exacting fans would actually refer to him as E.E.C. 'Tis true the man disregarded all rules of punctuation in his poetry, but he never signed his own name in lower case. Although, I'll admit, it is kind of tempting.

Thank you.

It's funny how something so personal becomes a common ground to feel emotions.

Enthralling poem :)

Kincaid said...

Good afternoon Sherry - I love your site - I have sent the poem 'Lives of Quiet Desperation to a dear friend- Did you get your inspiration from Thoreau?

Sherry Wasandi said...

Hello Kincaid.

I'm absolutely delighted to hear that. Thank you.

Not quite Thoreau, but a man equally(if not more) fascinating.

Devz said...

Have been away from blogosphere for way too long. To say the least I missed being here. Your posts never cease to delight me and I have a lot to catch up with.

P.S: You missed JJ yet again.

Sherry Wasandi said...

You've been missed just as much.
And thank you.

You know there's got to be a good reason why I miss it every year, right? I've got a part of me still stuck back at KNC. I'm sure it haunts the chaupal on full moon nights. *grins*

JJ clashes with my exams every year. You have no idea how much that saddens me.
