A Closed Mouth A Closed Set Of Eyes.

Rating: 5.0


you will catch
me aghast

red-handed i
did not side with
sleep

it is getting rare
this restfulness

the tiresome thought
has come as a respected
guest in my house

there are playful kids
all around
without their mothers
watching them

some have wings
and tails and they appear
to be like
their dreams of dragonflies

you will catch me
in surprise

i am not myself
i am like them playful spirits

i have set aside
reason for i am tempted with the
rain

the room is vague
and the door is misty

the windows are spaces
where we connect with the
scenery of

trees and roads and
to the end
is the sea and the last
horizontal line
of all existences

a very silent line
straight like your silence

concluding like peace
a closed mouth a closed set of eyes.
