Gravity Poem by lalitha iyer

pulling me
to the centre
is the force
from the earth's core
when my life
loses its drive
when the desires
mismatches the deeds
to be done with no heed
when the begging bowl
is empty at the dusk
and the clueless heart
beats upon the humdrums
when the ties of love
tired withdrew
and knots of bondage
knives into you

weightless life goes
beyond gravity
beyond the control of the self
impelled by pinching abnormality............
