Maps Poem by Suresh Kumar EK

Maps
- - - - - - - -
Maps smile at us with all the love
Calls us in a soft empathetic voice
To find the beauty across borders
Calling in the language of feelings.

Come on in, explore and know yourself!
Conquer quickly, enjoy to the fullest
Experience and rejoice, sing and dance
Come on with your powerful short legs
To tickle above my unexplored nudities.

But there lie horizontal latitudes
And vertical fencelike longitudes
They trap us in the national nets
We are stuck at the borders and walls
Unfortunately, we cancel our travels.
