Transparency Poem by lalitha iyer

if only life is transparent
the apparent
untampered present
the resident
and inner tenant

if only spoken words
could say the original intent
if only the knives hidden
could be seen clearly undone

if the light travels, objects humble
if visions unravel, being crumble
when dresses are see through
bodies reveal ugly true
when thoughts are open
origins unhypocritic
when inner self is uncrippled
and outer self is transparent

caged cosmic passions fly
to invisible horizons
stretching unduly in pride...............
