Those empty words
seem harmless
veiled promises
from the mimbar*
of heaven and her houris
a purpose for the purposeless
*mimbar = pulpit
Expressing myself through poetry

Professor Ashok Misra shares with you literary expressions.

Excellent!
Greetings,
Thank you for this powerful poem. Catering to desire and aversion, those pulpit-promises are often far from harmless.
All good wishes,

Thank you & good wishes to you, Robert.
Wow Sonya how do you come up with such poetry, can I borrow your brain for a moment?,Mine seems to be taking rest and I cannot afford it.Wonderful poem ,’empty words seem harmless’. My question, is it always harmless? The word ‘seem’ answers my question.It’s a clever way of writing it.
I enjoyed reading it. You know I feel like making up a story with your poem. What do you think?
Best wishes to you.
