Poem of the day: Weapons of mass construction

WEAPONS OF MASS CONSTRUCTION BY TASNIM LANGRY

I looked inside,

Eyes open so wide.

There two souls sat to confide,

Everything two people in this world could hide.

Without even blinking,

Two Titanic anchors began sinking.

No warning given as two collided,

Involuntary took hand and two lives-divided.

Experimental and ornamental,

Co-incidental and incidental.

A fundamental truth to book,

Seeking it in every nook,

Ingredients as if the Cook,

To sit back, stir and look.

Savouring the cuisine nonchalantly,

An after-taste bitter consistently.

Ravishing in delights gone stale, viral;

In a bid to connect soulfully with someone primal.

To come clean with every rival,

As if to cement it is love that echoes: arrival.

Brandishing weapons of mass construction to prevent,

False hope and materialism to vent.

Survival of the heart how strong,

Analysing contexts of “unconditional” for so long,

Intellect appreciating satisfaction of understanding, belong;

Prior tests proved so wrong.

Tipping the scales for all to bare,

Deductions, neurological explosives for all to stare,

Step back and feel energy aware,

Embracing electricity so rare,

Plastic gloves radioactive gear caution: beware!

Fantasmical osmosis in the air,

If only reaching Fully when arms in despair . . .

How we wish upon too many a star,

Yet to touch Me pain is medication, feel, I Am not-so-far.

Sweetness with bitter on par,

Each comb, energetic wherever you are!
