Poetry for me is a way of living, it comes out of nowhere and I have to write it down. How I write, what I write, I decide. I am not asking you to be judgemental. I am gifted with the ability to see beyond the obvious.

weaving webs---Writers Island
a world of web, spider weaves webs steadily
with gossamer silken threads, chained strong
waiting to swoop for an unsuspecting prey
to fall into that parlour of smoothened edges
resistance is useless, as the lure of unknown
breaks it with skill. well versed with the art
of story telling, clairvoyance too coming forth
to conclude that breaking. wings smeared
with honey cannot fly away. crawling out
of it, with so much dignity, difficulty- victim
gets away, cleansing away that stickiness;
shaking to core, it flies soaring to open sky.
if friendship was the agenda, it had to fail
spider’s web can draw, however, has to let go
promises never made, can never be broken
persistence can never turn into persuasion.
mind’s rivulets have the potential to hold
another mind to ransom, yet with strongest
of will power, it escapes. it has to, for its own
sanity- out of nothing, no life can be built.
a world of web, spider weaves webs steadily
now it is with words, which are meant to pierce.

resistance is futile?
The Borg again!
promises never made, can never be broken
persistence can never turn into persuasion
I like these lines very much. A thought-provoking write.
"a world of web"
great first words. you always make me think, guatami!
gautami,
Friendship is guileless. the rest pure sham.
You have amazing insight.

This is my favorite line:
persistence can never turn into persuasion.
Words to remember.
I agree with you. Is it worth it?
Great poem as always...
-bd
very intense - can the words escape?
I'm struck with some of my fav words from Madeline L'Engle about how we weave the patterns of our lives. Lots of power and beauty in this poem.
Yee haw, Gautami. This is one dark piece.
if friendship was the agenda, it had to fail.
Scarily, how often do I wind up saying that, myself?
Lure friends with promises into a web. Very deep my friend.
Strong words and the final line brings it to a point. Beautifully done!
'resistance is useless,
as the lure of unknown',
somehow those words I love...hoe can one resist the unknown?
Every thing I wanted to say has already been said. Brilliant as ever.
encompasses everything in a lifetime of a friendship...beautifully spoken...thank you, reading it twice i had to reflect...
Your work is getting better, it explodes with ideas and wonder. It is truth and falsehoods combined.
The one thing I really love though, is the way you use the cryptic messages, it is truly extrodinary.
and the web of words can be more dangerous than that of gossamer.
well done yet again, gautami.
You have woven a beautiful web of words about the duplicity of some relationships.
Well done!
"spider’s web can draw, however, has to let go" my favorite line... sometimes we try so hard to hold on to friendships not realizing that sometimes... they need to be let go of...
That was lovely and powerful!
