Seconds Poem by lalitha iyer

Every second
why do you think?
Oh my dear Mind
why cant you wink?
I am tired of you
you are non-stop
suckling my energies
and switching my moods
dreams of mine
like tides of waves
they appear from nowhere
and vanish to distant lands
why do you think of
people I dont care about
and of ideas and thoughts
which I preciously share
you neglect to ponder upon
you kindle desires
which I cant bear
and crush my emotions
devising plans cruel

Every second
a new wave
washing my shores
with hands anew
and depositing
ugly gossips on my face
seconds.........oh, they kill me
with littering thoughts........
