What a strange time this is
A part of me is holding back tears
The world is a chaotic mess and has come
Face to face with its most appalling fears
While the world fights a war collectively
Seeking to somehow prolong the peace
I’m left halfway nursing the notions of fleeing to a place
In my mind where this endless war has ceased
I breathe, wait and hope praying for calmness
Trying to discard the feeling of emptiness inside me
I am terrified of the consequences of this mayhem
And what the end of all this could be
Excruciating painful images of a distorted tomorrow
Make me cower and from myself hide
Call me wind if you do please know that’s again I am
Thoroughly shaken and to my core petrified
This is a poem seeking love and compassion
Asking us to work unitedly towards a common goal
If we focus all our energies against this creation of war
Maybe the future will thank us for having saved many souls

Read MoreA lump in throat, miseries of heart
Dribbled to soak the carved wood pulp,
Scars filled with ambers of tree
I'm shattered like Auburn leaves!!
Wrinkled bark counting since ages
The mahems of infinite piled up like,
Heaps of tawny foliage!
A resilient Zephyr
Swayed me from dawn to day
Wiping out the dew drops of turmoil!
Giggling the misogyny of sunrays
Engulfing the chills of peace again,
The melody in eyes,
Danced on the beats of ukulele!!
The buds lost in the valley of thoughts
The mayhems of life, and the serenity of minds,
Too shall pass like the monsoon night!
Steadfastness is just a illusion
Which doesn't go with the attributes of time!!

In the middle of the mayhem, you came and sang a song of melancholy. You promised a wildfire but instead choked the light that was struggling hard for survival inside me. Eventually, when all the light went off, you left complaining about the darkness.

blurry
the mayhem around me,
couldn't compare to the chaos
within my soul
Which one was greater;
the one within me ofcourse
the laughs
the talks
these noises surround me
Everything's blurry
my eyes get teary
you're not here next to me
I've been feeling lonely-
missing you so much,
that my heart gets struck with solitude
even in a room full of people
All this mayhem around me,
why's everything blurry
Is this real?
baby, tell me you know how I feel.

Mayhem!
I lay here typing confused chaotic
I may seem resilient
But mayhem is tougher...

Mayhem
Deep inside the
mayhem
where the unknown
hides,
rests a hush clue
to all
unanswered questions.

A Gift For You
Here it is....
Something gathered, cupped, breathed into.
Circumstantial nuance captured all here indefinately.
Transfixed time freezes a speeding world while I find myself the voyeur.
Driving, eating, working, sleeping still the same speed of want.
Colliding with time drift slowly down and wait for the cloud of inertia's sodden lift.
Here.... for you.... wrapped in pixie dusted bows....
Let's lift off. Let's GO.
What are you waiting for?
Leave concrete shoes, required mediations on belonging, mayhem's trapdoor, and for God's sake burn those curtains.
Time gifted you space.
Life taxed you with awarness.
What have you got to lose?

There is mayhem
in the mind
Because most
have forgotten to
recognise
and be kind.

Life hung between
the sweet smile of destiny,
the vagaries of fate
and the mayhem of the mundane

We all have mayhem inside us
A bit of havoc to scrape
Our greed to celebrate
And hurricanes to escape
Jump as high as you can
Look down
You'll see yourself hiding in some cave
A cave darker than the lonely nights
Nights when the stars leave and the moon bites
But don't stop just yet
Jump even higher
Now look down and I bet
You'll see flowers all outside the cave
And vibrant colours all enslaved
And then when you reach back to the ground
Outside the cave you'll be found
And when the alluring aroma of the flowers hits your nose
The mayhem inside you will soon decompose

An oeuvre is completely unfamiliar to some while a mayhem for others.

Sometimes emulation of others personality
Becomes conducive for you . But sometimes
it may be Mayhem for the person comprise in you

Dear Mayhem,
I can hear the thunder of your winds,
Bolting footsteps,
Gusting destruction towards my heart,
I know the voice of your anger,
You are far from a stranger to my mind.
The lighting in your eyes,
Pierces so bright
As to cause darkness
To my soul inside,
The only gleam of sunlight
that I can see,
Is the reflection of angel wings,
As they fall to the ground.
Your malicious waves,
Ramped and rave,
Tempting to torture turmoil
Through my soul,
They gnash and attack,
Trying to drown out my last breath,
So that my spirit is no more.
I know you by name, Mayhem,
As you have planted
The seed of poverty
In the earth from which I was born,
From my very first cry,
I have called you Hunger,
My voice echoing,
Yet unanswered
from the barren soil.
I have called you by the
Name of Hatred,
I have called you by the
Name of Violence,
and the Name of War,
I screamed out to you
In agony and pain,
As the gunshots ripped
Through my husband’s heart,
Leaving me a widow,
Without a father for my child.
I called you by
The Name of Defeat
When you chained my feet,
So that my dreams felt
Impossible in my soul,
I heard your laughter
As I fell in shame,
Bleeding ankles,
Trying to rise above
The oppression in this world.
I called you by the
Name Temptation,
As you tried to bring down nations,
Through the greed from our hearts,
You fought to take the power
From the Almighty
And divide us,
Although God is
The Father to us all.
Mayhem, you searched for me,
In the dark and in the light,
Trying to shadow my heart,
You were the crying heartbreak
To my song of love,
You were the darkness to my joy,
You were the emptiness to my soul,
And the chaos to my life,
You were the struggle,
The deceiver,
The strife.
Yet, there were many times,
That I didn’t call your name,
In the silence of my own prayers,
Because I am a child of God,
With confidence in His love,
With the strength of faith
To rise above,
All the imperfect scars
You left upon my heart.
@jeniayn.

Mayhem
Who knew?
Who knew you'd be the one?
The one to cause mayhem.
Mayhem in this quiet,
Quiet little life I called mine.
Violent was your passion
Chaotic was your obsession
That lead to destruction.
Destruction of my feelings
Feelings of admiration
I held so dearly for you.

Read MoreWILD WOMEN, WOLVES, AND THE MOON: Dispelling the Myths About the Modern Woman.
by Carolyn Glackin
Here's the deal folks, I'm all for romance and glamour but I'm also somewhat of a practical realist. I need to clear up a certain matter before expectations start getting way out of control. Assuming you're a reader of poetry (assumed because you're on Mirakee), I'm sure you've noticed the way that modern poets are depicting women of today. To hear it told, we spend every moment of our spare time running wild and free under the full moon, decked out in a fabulous flowing gown, long hair dancing in the wind behind us, while surrounded by a pack of wolves. Anybody done that lately?! Does that even sound safe to any of you?!! I'm not even referring to the wolves just yet, I'm talking about running around in the woods with a billowing dress and long hair flowing all over the place! The hair's gonna get caught up in branches and the dress is gonna get torn to shreds by all manner of whatever the heck's growing on the floor of a forest and/or the pack of wolves! I mean, if the poets want to depict us that way, can we at least be wearing some work boots and a pair of coveralls? Maybe a clip for the flowing hair too... Alright listen, I'm not looking to get on anyone's bad list. It's a fun idea and all and I'm glad that women get to be wild and free instead of stuck in the kitchen or ironing in the laundry room or whatever; but I feel that it's my duty to reveal a perhaps truer version of today's modern woman. So, here's what you're likely to see if you show up unannounced at my house, full moon or no full moon: a tired woman with unkempt hair wearing a comfy pair of pajama pants and an ancient hoodie, sitting on her bed surrounded by more cats than any one household should possess, munching on loud, crunchy, messy snacks from several half-eaten bags around her. The wild and free part's legit. No argument there. To sum things up, I'll say this: women of today can be exactly three things: WHATEVER. WE. WANT. And we're getting pretty good at it!! So, that's the real deal my friends. As told by Yours Truly. ��

- carrie09 Yup we can do whatever we want....I love it ❤❤❤❤
- lovenotes_from_carolyn @carrie09 Thank you so much for checking out this older piece of mine!
- lovenotes_from_carolyn @carrie09 And for reposting! ❤
- blinganshu Okay this tells me that I am not much of a reader because I haven't ever read such poetry. I have read a bunch of werewolf novels though and I totally agree with what you have written. Enjoyed reading it.

@blinganshu Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness! This piece was actually a blog post from my old Wordpress account. Essentially, I was pointing out the ridiculous way that women are often depicted in poetry and the images chosen to portray the poems. All in good fun, of course! And thank you again.
P.S. I haven't been available for the past few days; but when I have some free time, I'll look forward to reading some of your work.
