Take Me To A Place Unknown

Take me to a place unknown,
A place that knows no flesh and bones,
Take me to a place unknown,
A place that knows no battles for thrones,
Take me to a place unknown,
A place that knows you're never alone,
Take me to a place unknown,
A place that sooths the souls forlorn,
Take me to a place unknown,
A place where miseries' forever unknown,
Take me to a place unknown,
A place where truths shine all alone,
Take me to a place unknown,
A place where love has no pros and cons,
Take me to a place unknown,
A place where's no one,
But I... I'm all alone,
Amidst the ideal nature I've yearned and known
Alone from the world,
Alone from the people,
Alone from the souls I loved,
Alone from the souls that loved me back,
Alive, alone, refreshed,
But dead, almost forever in their zone
And thence no more no one's...anything.
And...a someone in people's memory
No more, but always reverd and known.

Author's Note

... Because life becomes very intolerable and complex sometimes.

A wonderful poem shared dear Saumya. Had the feel of a lullaby. All of us ponder death and what we shall leave behind. I kept the old photos of the people I loved. Otherwise they would be forgotten. Powerful and worthwhile words shared dear poet. You made me think this early morning in Michigan.

Dear Saumya, your lines touched me to the core. Life can be truly troublesome at times and the need to escape can grow strong. Take care.

Even when we have close relationships with family and others... it sometimes becomes unbearable and we want to get away and feel the refreshment of being amongst nature... itself an opportunity to throw off the clothes of respectability and other's expectations and to just let go... and yes, death, as Hamlet said 'is a consummation devoutly to be longed for' ... though it's also interest that the French call orgasm 'le petit mort'. My mind is wandering! Sometimes we need to die to be born again...

Sorry I am late to review . . . been gone writing a book & now catching up on read requests. This poem is haunting & realistic . . . I've been there. The part that stands out is how you describe being alive, alone, refreshed, yet dead. This reminds me of how I had to kill some part of me over the past ten years, those dumb assumptions we grow up with, thinking they rule everything, but they don't. Sometimes we have to let parts of ourselves die before we can truly leap forth to the next new chapter. I don't like poems that repeat a line as much as this poem does, but I understand you were going for the drumbeat of crazy-making (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
