Born into
a life abrupt
of some volcano
gurgling to erupt
With its molten lava
flowing only to disrupt
the soothing peace around
with its ways cruel and corrupt
**Posted for Monkey Man’s Sunday 160 and for Poetry Potluck (week 27)**
How I write, is mine...How you read, is yours 
That’s like a perfect picture of the world around … I guess it will be your Potluck entry and it is a great one for sure … Good night from Athens, fleur-de-lis!
Unfortunately, that is how the world is at times… I hope we can break ourselves out of its claws and come out as good humans…don’t you hope so too, summer gal? 🙂
Lots of love and hugs to you, my sweet friend…
The lava burns as does harsh words! Love how you wrote it and the pic is great! Enjoy your day!
Thank you, Paulo.. sadly, those harsh words can sometimes leave scars that can’t even be seen 😦
Hope you are having a beautiful week, my friend… take care..
ugh yeah deceit has such a destructive power…sad….
I knowww.. unfortunately, all the evil things are very powerful.. grrrr… if only we used love in such a forceful manner, but in the opposite direction 🙂
we are so weak and unaware at times…the reminders are cruel…enjoy the day
Peace, hp
You bet, hp!! But sometimes, we DO need those reminders.. else we might just go on relishing the effects of lies and deceit 😦 …
I’ve missed reading your poetry, Kavita! Life has been crazy. Love how you made the poem into a shape of a volcano.
It’s sooooo nice to see you here, bpbg!! Yaaaayyy… I have missed you tooo!!! How have you been, girl?!?!? All’s well, I hope!?
Will be at your blog in a bit… Thanks for your kind words here…
xoxoxox
true,
peace is enjoyable, at times, molten lava burns…
powerful message in 160, Thanks for sharing…
A++
🙂
Aahh..yes indeed, Jingle.. lava burns.. and so does deceit! whheew..
Glad you liked this one, dear…thanks..
Oh my you compacted so many emotions in this these few words, worlds of chaos both worldly and personal…bkm
It was an attempt, yes Barbara… hope you liked it.. thanks for the appreciation shown, my dear..
There’s always something lurking beneath the surface – be wary, lest the eruption draw us under as well. It is a chaotic existence…but so it goes.
Oh yea, Chris.. it sure is chaotic.. and menacing.. but unfortunately, that’s the way it is.. 😦
Thank you for your insightful words here, my friend.. always appreciated!
Fabulous photo and a great 160. You wrote quite an image even without that beautiful and emotional photo. Thanks for playing.
Aahh.. the photo!! LOVED it myself! DeviantArt ROCKS!!! Glad you liked the poem that went along with it too, MM… thank you so much for your kind words…
Beautifully done.
thank you so much, Rachel dear..
Nice play on words and use of structure. Simple and effective. 🙂
Whheeww..thanks a ton, James.. am genuinely happy you appreciate this piece.. your saying so means a lot to me!!!
What a coincidence…I was reading this by lava lamp. Good thing I hung onto it!!!
Ahaa.. I hope the lamp didn’t empty itself on you, Tim 😉
Thanks for your ever-ebullient words here, my friend!! xoxo
Love how it looks like a volcano. I appreciate the rhyme scheme.
Gee.. thanks a heap, my friend.. glad you liked this one..
You gave a prefect title to your piece.. Just love it.. It may be short but hit right to the eye.. I love this.. *thumbs up*, especially to how you used molten lava.. that’s just bring the whole piece of poem to another level… 🙂

Wow. Powerful words, Kavita.
Oh..thank you so much, Thingy…

shape of the volcano is nice. Really like ‘flowing only to disrupt” nice image
heheh…glad you liked it, Louise… yea, the “flowing” thing was indeed what I had in mind too when I wrote this poem… thanks for the appreciation, my friend..
The image and the words are awesome!!
Gee..thanks a bunch, Teri.. ofcourse, all credits for the image go to DeviantArt… they have the most amazing collection!
And I am really happy you liked the poem too, my friend.. your words are most appreciated!
I like the last two lines. 🙂
Aww.. thank you so much, Chandrika…
So it seems there is no escape….or relief.
Nice Kavita.
You bet, Reggie.. we just need to keep looking, I suppose… whheew!
Glad you liked this one, my dear…thanks for your kind words…
Wow! That artwork puts me in mind of Amanda.
Truth. Some people do seem to be born just like that. “flowing only to disrupt” Some are in the news a lot these days.
I knoooowww…the image is sooo Amanda-like! 🙂 Gosh.. I miss her 😦
Thank you, Jamie…for your thoughtful words here… yes, some people exist solely to ruin the peace around them… (sigh).. I wonder what it brings them though!
Mind- blowing Kavs..
The shape- poem!
The shape of the volcano mount!
The emotions expressed in words!
The emotions expressed in the image!
The emotions of the words expressed within the image!
I feel the heat already.. very well done 🙂
Mwaaaahzzzz xox
OMG!! Olivia, your comments always leave me feeling so proud about what I write.. thank you so much for that, girl!
HEAPS and BUCKETS of love and hugs to you!
the lies will always surface and burn some hearts and eyes…
🙂
You can say that again, my friend… and it really stings!! whhheww!
Nice one again…! My wishes…
Oh.. thank you Pranavam.. you are very kind, my friend..
Deceit in the shape of a vulcano, very clever! 🙂
heheh.. glad you liked it, Ina.. thank youuuu!! I really appreciate you kind words here..
xoxoxo
Beautiful poem,
loved the lines
“Born into
a life abrupt
of some volcano”
Gee… thank you so much, Thor… your kind words are much appreciated, my friend..
Love the poem
love the shape
a significant message
one word – great
Oh my my..thanks a ton, my dear friend… you are so kind..
I am extremely glad you liked this poem this much!!
xoxoxoox
A clever take on this week’s theme. Yes, deceit really brings about destruction. And like lava in a volcano, it comes from deep within, like an evil seed planted in the soul. Love your poem 🙂
Yes indeed… the disruptive lava that flows from a volcano of lies can REALLY burn…
Thanks for your kind and insightful words here, Katherine.. it’s invaluable to me, my dear!! xoxo
Nature and our own nature conspire to to lead us to the brink! Very well done…
Aahh..well said, Lyn… mother nature and OUR nature certain have funny ways.. whheew!
Glad you liked this poem, my dear… thank you so much..
You didn’t have to write a lot to give us the right proportion… I like it!
heheh… I guess it just doesn’t take much to write about deceit… too much of it around anyway.. (sigh)
Glad you liked this poem, seabell… thank you so much!!!
xoxo
But along with peace i guess the hot molten lava also get rid of the bad and corrpt
nice one …
Haaaa… now that’s a unique way of looking at it, Bikram… very interesting.. and true too, really!
Thanks for your insights and kind words here, my friend.. really most appreciated!
A nice poem truth in small words
Gee.. thanks a ton, Ajith… and it’s quite a challenge, I tell ya! 🙂
i like this volcanic shape and lovely words kavi.. here’s mine.. http://fiveloaf.wordpress.com/2010/01/25/paper-scribbles/
aaww… thank you, my dear Kris… glad you enjoyed this shape-poem…
xoxoox
A beautifully crafted write this, Kavita.. Valcano gurgling to erupt… a dangerous valcano ..
You bet, Rameshji…these volcanoes of deceit are most dangerous, I suppose…
Thanks for your kind words here, my friend… I really appreciate it..
I really like the speed of this one. Seemed to read off lightning fast!
Ahaaa… at last someone spoke about the pace of this one! AND I AM GLAD IT WAS YOU, Mark!! I wanted this one to actually be like a volcano… suddenly it’s calm, and suddenly, it’s flowing all over the place
Thanks for the appreciation, M.. you ROCK!!!! 🙂
xoxo
yes , lies in life are like that molten lava . well expressed …
Aahh… and they really burn…don’t they, Nimue?!
Thanks for your kind words, dearie…
xoxoox
Interesting rhyme scheme, my friend!
Gee.. thanks a bunch, Marilynn! 🙂
Aah, the world around has to be like that. And sad it is to see it this way.
you can say that again, Shagufta.. (sigh).. it is quite a sad state..wheww..
I absolutely love this poem!!! great job! nice blog you have here!
Oh.. thanks a bunch, Eva.. glad you liked this poem so much.. I really appreciate your thoughts here…
xoxo
This is a chilling truth, here, Kavita. So many problems in our world are related to lies and deception.
So true, Victoria… our truth lies in these lies I guess.. such a sad state.. no?
Powerful, Kavita.

Aahh..thanks a ton, JP.. I guess deceit needs a strong telling to.. no? 🙂
Nice use of strong images here Kavita!
Thank you so much, Tekia, my dear… your words are absolutely invaluable to me!!
oh man this is DYNAMITE! I LOVE your stuff Kavita. That image WOW!
Aw.. thank you so much, Scott.. I am really glad you liked this poem so much!! But yes, all credits for that image go to the artists @ DeviantArt ofcourse 🙂
Riveting in its abruptness
I take THAT as a compliment, AB.. 🙂 thank you…
Natures fury in more ways than one.
Great job Kavita
Aahh..well said, Richard.. nature sure has her ways f displaying fury.. and we have ours.. Alas deceit doesn’t fit in anywhere… but there it is, all over the place!
Glad you liked this one, my friend… thanks a ton!! xoxo
Very cool poem!
Gee.. thanks, my friend… glad you liked it..
Love that eye with tear/lava flowing, also the volcanic cone with molten words. Excellent.
Ohh..thanks a ton for your kind words on the poem-pic combination, Dan.. I really appreciate it! Ofcourse, all credits for the picture go to the awesome artists at DeviantArt 🙂
That’s quite a poem — I would love to know more about the person it’s about — a follow-up poem?
Ahaa… it wasn;t really about any particular person, Morganna.. but yea, there are quite a few of this type that I know of.. (sigh)
A follow-up poem eh? Hmm… now you’ve gotten me thinking too.. maybe some day .. 🙂
Yes, it does seem that corruption has to overflow and destroy. Powerful imagery, Kavita.
Gee.. thank you, Talon.. deceit/corruption really sucks, doesn’t it!? Ugghhh…
Oh, cleaver and shapely. Much like the writer.
Aw.. thanks so much, K… I really appreciate your sweet and kind words..
Perfectly described Kavita…
Thank you so much, Sam…
Deceit is so cruel–you captured this ugly feeling so well, Kavita.
Ugghh.. deceit is indeed the biggest form of theft!
Thanks for the kind words on the poem though, Gayle.. much appreciated!
it was like i was taking a look into a harsh land that went deeper than i could see.
nice!
Whhheewww… hope you didn’t go too deep, Luna dear.. that’s hot lava of lies in there! And it stings…no!?!
Glad you liked this poem, sweetie… love you loads!!
xoxoox
The poem looked as if it was going to erupt! Good Rhyming.
hahah… I hope the poem didn’t burst on you, JP 🙂
Thanks for you appreciative words here though… means a lot to me!
this reminded me of politics somehow.. donno y..! nice form to it K.!
Here’s My Potluck
Perfectly thought of, Vinay!! Politics is just as bad as deceit!!
Glad you liked the poem, buddy!
oozing in powerful emotions… I enjoyed
Thank you so much, my dear Jessica… so glad you liked this one..
I liked the form and the message it contained was fitting.
Hi Kavita – a wonderful little poem here my friend, packed with so much punch! You rock! Mwah!!! xx 😉
Aaahh..thank you, Chloe dear… I hope this volcano never finds its way in your life.. whew!!
