(It takes one move to overturn things!)Time(s) immemorial
Are Spectators to her silence
Borne by her patiently.
Her voiceless voice nurtured
And moulded
To match his loquacity.
Fearing his tongue lash
She muted herself
Far beneath 'Echo'
To please his (wounded) Narcissism.
Until one day,
The 'Laugh of Medusa'
Drained off the scream out of him.
Borne by her patiently.
Her voiceless voice nurtured
And moulded
To match his loquacity.
Fearing his tongue lash
She muted herself
Far beneath 'Echo'
To please his (wounded) Narcissism.
Until one day,
The 'Laugh of Medusa'
Drained off the scream out of him.

very nice! i like the Qs that this piece evokes and yet the eloquence of silent answers! well written! i can see echo n narcissus figuring in you too!!!
Nice one Shivika... Keep Writing such good ones!!!
Hey nice poem...an I like the metaphor of chess to explain the reversal of fortune. As for echo and narcissus, I feel both found their meaning in each other. Dunno if you agree:)
hmm..thats pretty profound Neelakshi..i don't take them as antagonists though but dunno why when i wrote it i cudn't think of any other analogy;yeah one might say they complemented each other coz both perished, certainly echo for narci but not vice versa...what say??
inspiring way of overcoming the "voiceless voice"...
must say although your medusa has just woke up, your pegasus is in full flight!!
kudos!!!
oh my god!! fiercely feminist, isn't it!! and so powerful too... with references even!! good work,man! you have improved by leaps n bounds... you are too good...
Thanx Psyche...but ahh...ur sweet comparison is too much for me to carry...M no where near Pegasus, but anyway..thanx..its motivating :)
Yeah Shivika....even i find it a good analogy and a pretty original one.
Thye both perished because the objets of their affection could not reciprocate their feelings...narcissus also didn't realize the pain of unrequited love until he fell in love with his owns hadow. Probably that ties them together...but till in a way they remain incomplete...
