why do i promise myself

 

why do i promise myself

stars knit in a shawl

that will not ever crawl

over your eyes

or shoulders

will not even cover your head

on a rainy day

but then with my hand in your hand

i do not even care

if the footrpints will remain

on sand

fragile

unsure

to run away with the wind

or

embrace the shore

denuded by waves

that has  now been abandoned,

 silted edges

empty gazes

donot ask me

who lent me the smiles

that beguiles the innocent

and trap the kind

  1. Should the light be blown off?
    The bard falsely accuses her of devouring moths,
    While burning herself she illuminates his night;
    Ask a moth,
    Who with her side
    And tell not once was he beguiled;
    But watching her die
    Rushed to rescue;
    Call you that death? Asks the kind heart,
    It is my privilege, nay, purpose of life!

  2. annihilating the surface
    on which scratches
    stay
    like stains of love
    i ask,
    if this is what one seeks
    dissolution when
    precipation will do
    and siltation
    when floating on the surface will woe
    the waves
    that are undecided
    whther to be burried on the shore
    or remain at the core
    of the deep
    enigmatic sea
