A ray of laser
it passes from our body
into the person opposite
and when it enters his person
if it gets reflected
he is a stranger
oh, what a silly idea
what a ridiculous notion
but, let me ask my dear
why some are stranger
and some friends
when you just pass by
why some smile
and some spill hatred
why some love us
treat us with tender looks
some with gestures
of alien creatures?
What makes us
friends and foes?
Why love is frozen
when some meet some
and fertile
when others meet others?
why some hearts are dry
to some
and not to others
just what passes between beings
that make them love or be indifferent...
Why some touch
yet warmth does not exude
when some touch with words
caressing and fondling with past relationship
as if we have met them
ages past in births last
wonder why some can feel at home
with some and some dont greet
hate even the presence
and show total absence
of any friendly humane sense.
hey.. i like the way... you done your poem.. the little notion one gets when meeting with various types of strangers.. some love us, some hate us.. some becomes our foes.... awesome lines... but in real life its true... we do get these notions..atleast i have... keep writing..good goin.....
lovely poem, Lalitha...it is a lovely poem; I just flowed with its rhythm and feeling and power...it is indeed beautiful and the lines so luminous... To answer the qn asked: Perhaps because some have no poetry/music in them... suggestion: dont=don't

I would like to translate this poem
your poems have a dreamy feel to them...they live somewhere between sadness and dream...great to read but puts me in a sad mood.
