! ! ! ..sojourn with self….(1)
A poem by Sivan PG Menon
_____________________________

Eyes elude the self within
Looks deceptive and fear ringed…
Inquisitive to seek the ‘I’ innate, sullen
Am I deceiving the self in me..?

Birth a gift’ …
Childhood, buds of innocence...
Adolescence a barbed fence, captivity...
Dilemma’s un fathomable…inhibited
Teens a …. concoction… oblivious...
Seemingly a ‘tunnel vision.
Nonchalant youth….
Syndromes.., middle age ravaging....
Fear…ambiguous …of a losing paradise….
Your unwilling embrace of….. SILENCE….near…
…a Grand finale…

Traversing a zigzag rope... transformation
rugged …uncanny
…Pebbles down… Ocean depth shall never reveal
the pathways of life….Metamorphosis of existence…
Soul a mystery...infinite...
