An Eye's Speck? Poem by Isaac Maliya

I’m a speck in the eye
Shying and blinking away
My being disturbs the heart of
An unknowing esteemed friend
I’m a speck!

I’m a speck in the eye
Opting for “golden” silence than words
Alarming speck’s being at best
Why? An unknowing esteemed peer
I’m a speck!

I’m a speck in the eye
Proximities always abandoned
Crocodile smiles on lovely lips
Refugeeing into speck-free zones
I’m a speck!

Unknowing esteemed friend
Unknowing esteemed peer
Unknowing esteemed colleague
Unknowing esteemed of all times
A speck never was, is nor will be!

Dedication: To my unknowing friend of all times!
