Descending upon the throbbing flesh like a serpent <br />With venom exploding <br /> From each bit of thy deceiving, stupefying frame <br />I view thee, as an offering <br />From my perpetual tragedy, my life <br />So awaited are thou! <br /> <br />Oh! So now my pain is my indulgence <br />My anxious stoic eyes now welcome thy arrival <br />For thou are my eternal acquaintance <br />Loathed foe and cherished soul mate <br />I admire thee! <br /> <br />How do thou come? <br />In the hours of deepest isolation <br />In the void of pain-drenched nothingness <br />In the obscurest of mind games <br />Tragedies and treacheries <br /> <br />In the darkest of nights <br />When all I perceive art thy eyes <br />Monstrous and gleaming <br />Agonizing, but tender <br />Thou embrace me, terrify, <br />Torment all of my being. <br /> <br />Coerce me to obliterate <br />The fossils of my compassion <br />And amend me to a stone <br />That walks, but never smiles <br />That resists but never debates <br />That lives, but is not alive. <br /> <br />Thou prevent me to step in a meadow <br />And pull with thyself in thy tyrannous low <br />I am bound to that intricacy though <br />And I worship thee, the imparter of woe! <br /> <br />Thou befall on me like tears <br />Shedding in the dusk, again <br />When all else is lost in winter frost <br />Thy umbra on me remains. <br /> <br />I witness thou as the messenger of my fate <br />The disgusted thing I’m sworn to be <br />My soul welcomes thou as mate <br />Thy truth, oh agony! I inscribe on me. <br /> <br />Regard to unison of devil and evil, <br />We shall both perish as one <br />I lost myself and thou found me <br />Oh agony! My only sanctum…..<br /><br />Vartika Pandey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-agony/
