I speak to you, the wind wafting in The one so paradoxical Cooling me down Yet you watch the city burn With rage, hate and envy Carrying the whispers of the devil Hearing the unheard And passing it as lies Or half-truths; even worse And there you still blow In the midst of blazes Meant to blow out But the spread maniacally You bring with you, the cool mist A cloak of complacency In the guise of soft coolness And fill the sky with coal dark clouds Sometimes to disperse ashes Or to bring enraged rain Diffusing the fog, yet seldom leading to it As we stand, watching, helpless With mere windows and curtains To hide and save Still we hear the wind Carrying its own voice Making the city burn
And yeah, I still don’t know where that came from. Guess this is what reading symbolism and poetry by Sylvia Plath does to you :S
I would love to know your interpretations in the comments.
Have a nice day!!

There are so many intricate lines in this piece. This imagery is just one of the many amazing examples ‘fill the sky with coal dark clouds’. I know what you mean about being inspired by the other poets you read, I find myself doing the same at times.

The poem reminded me of Daenerys Targaryen and her reign from GOT! Have you watched the show? And my interpretation obviously sucks.

I haven’t watched the show😅
I am sure once I watch it, it won’t. Right now I am just clueless
Thanks for reading!♡

I’d give you the background for why the poem reminds me of her but I don’t want to spoil the show for you. But she was the ‘mother of dragons’ – so fire and stuff. That’s a hint. ☺️
