mystic forests

 

 

 

 

 

Mystic Forest _1

A smell that we cannot sense

in our city orb

creeps in, green flag of it flies,

wins over our heart.

 

“what will be available

for dinner this night?”

“Wild chickens if you wish.” Smiles

through his busted dentures,

the old caretaker of

the forest lodge. “What?

Tiger? Nothing that fierce.”

 

Of course we forget

The most fierce of all, us.

mystic forest _2 (color code rust)

A forsaken farm cart,

rust red is on an ancient plough,

hum of green desert is

engulfing the scenario.

Ripples on the river

have a slow drone. You can not break

it just throwing few stones.

Past civilizations have been

absorbed by this forest.

A forest of no reservation.

“Quite un-reserved in case

you find an animal and a gun.”

Your friend sometimes jokes

and his jokes are quite rude and raw.

Of course he never knows

the type of prey you may choose. You

smile at the reminiscence

as her body drifts through silent

water. It has learned to

keep its secrets in an un-reserved forest.

Mystic Forest is where the unicorn lives
where the woodland creatures lives
without the fear of the hunters' rifles
Mystic Forest has its secrets in farthest corners

where Mystic creatures lives
in much peace in forever life's
i am in search of Mystic Forest
to live in forever peace

Lovely poem indeed! Unique, descriptive and with intriguing mystical overtones. Well done!
Thank you for submitting this to my "Loneliness" contest.

Beautiful. I adore your descriptions of the natural settings - the ideas of the stones not being able to truly break the water's surface is especially appealing. Nicely written. Keep up the great work.
