Indifference
Indifference
Withdrawal vanity of the mind
The eyes of the feedback
The drawing fingers of the word
Wandering the unwanted guest
Yellow! The colourless merger of suffering
And the rest of the methods
Weeping through the ages.
Look! The pretending suggestion which
Belongs to the seconds.
Prudence of the impulses
Beating the timeless efforts:
Perception! How divided emotional drag?
How divided integral task?
The book of blackness
The door of openness
The lee of reinforcing word

Sense of Enigma
She stared and said !
Evaporation of emotions ….
Erupting and diluting the events
Can we prove the frothy
timidity of time ….
My sense of enigma
her crude leverage of reasoning clusters
provoke me to respond
Her penetrating eyes prevent my tips
She murmured ! Evaporation of desire !
She stood and nodded ……..
Tickling the map of my mind
Pricking the lap of my impulses
But the change of chastity
And the relocation of certainty
wiped my ego and elevation……..
She said, let us make a trip
to the map of aspirations
where we sit and pat our theme
there we pay the levy of leisure
there we roar and rare the rate.
