Eyes

conceptual eyes of the fish

forget to blink

yet red wishbones

light harbours with decrees

and

it feels alright in coming to terms

with wholesome rejections afresh

miasma and bread in a crowded bakery

and they say

familiarity builds indifference

a wall between touch and feel

between fragrance and smell

between uncertainties of comprehension

you will never know me

yet i stand looking through

your window at my face

undecided whether to shave

or let my shards grow

stab your depth

red and white

capricious eyes

    let the day come when people will be aware enough for thoughts like these to be widely understood as of deepest sense of congruence. We are not there yet :-)
    The fact that 'you will never know me' - is still not accepted positively by many. O - our longing for bubbles , bubbles after bubbles , don't let us think like this in real life .. people who do think like this, readily end up cornering themselves from the rest..
