The quest of poetry

some millions of faces 
i could come across 
they were paragon of beauty
they were all damsels
many of them were superb
handsome,smart and elegant
persons wearing faces
bearing seduction in races
but i stayed searching poetry 
among all these gorgeous faces
i wonder how Byron could compose 
"She walks in Beauty"
getting close to their psyche
i found nothing more ugly
than what they were 
it's not like my search ceases
i carry still it on to find one
who may be ugly 
but bearing the pathos of poetry
how morose i turn my home
with empty eyes 
sometimes i blame me only 
my eyes,my psyche got defunct
i cease to see what looks to be
but i swear all are clever
they know the art to know you 
never ever
they all know minting money
out of the means all unfair
they know to tell lies
and belies their own words
i feel secluded and curse me
but they are the creations 
of the same god
and perhaps god forgot me
the drops what the world brought
even nature has shed its Lustre
what Wordsworth  visualized 
life is so fast only accidents
wounded humanity bleeds last
Shelley crooned in his clamourous 
dejections as no one extended
a hand to help the helpless 
the distance between grave and home
is how far is too far or no far
the competitive world fleets fast 
flicking of the moments of respite 
to think of the past with no quest
once end remains alive in actions 
but the action is no more an action
other than plundering killing hurting
and thus the man ascends the ladder
and shouts at the top of voice
to lure the attention of the attainments
hence where is poetry 
i set out again in her quest 
she is virtually found
within the ambience of a Mandir
holding a bowl begging and prying 
straight into the faces 
as if she were also searching poetry
with cries of unlimited woes
for a confluence of poetry
here the beggar poetry 
old tattered worn out lying
among zillions of millions 
never got composed by poets
for they are the bad patches 
among the crimson gems
