'Rudalis'--- The Desert Mourners.
sitting in circles,
wrapping garments stale and plain,
Six shrills of sombre, echoes
beastly grim of pain..
Breezing dust , warm sands, carry
poignant cries of refrain.
to far and near, heralding
gloom and doom from the Bereaving Lane..
Hands thump the Breasts, hard as
hitting diabolic clamps of nail..
And cries and bursts of loss,
leaves dark clouds in it's trail.
Sun turns shadowy,with deafening
mourns in crannies prevail.
A Blue Blood's Death, whimpered
by six she-folks avail...
Ghostly , haunting turns the cry,
hands ramming the breats peak.
"Royales ,Thou shall not shed tears'"
so for penny trifles , mourners they seek..
As dark looms , shrugging every vein,
the cacophony halts, from veiled faces..
numbness of eternal loss seeps in,,
with burning moonlight in ragged palaces.
Rudalis went away,, deserting the Grieving Royales,
leaving resonating whimpers, amid faint dying walls.

8 Sonatas:

    time for ur magnum opus

     

    Nothing can be much better ...keep it as it is ...the soul breathe's itself out from the lyrics ..!!

     

    I found the irony shouting out so loud.... The Royales can judge, punish and are responsible for the welfare of their estate but can't cry like normal humans to mour their loved ones....

    What a pity, that they who are supposed to support everyone need the support of Rudalis to mourn.
