When I try to study
A blank paper, on a crossroad
Time eats me up as quicksand
I am volatile without a coffin
Fluttering eye and siesta in my veins
A night of pain
And a heart so distant
Too many pictures around
Portraits of strangers
And off season discounts
Flash through the whiteness
Of the blank paper
Stories, poems, songs, sketches
Memoirs and diary entries
Epistolary, novels and sonnets
So much and too many
All in my eyes or just the paper’s itch
I wait, I wait
To understand the mystery,
Of body and mind
Sex and love
Siamese twins
Ciphers disdain these questions
Some ambiguities can’t be deciphered
By a mere itch
Blank paper is just as susceptible
As a crossroad
A blank paper, on a crossroad
Time eats me up as quicksand
I am volatile without a coffin
Fluttering eye and siesta in my veins
A night of pain
And a heart so distant
Too many pictures around
Portraits of strangers
And off season discounts
Flash through the whiteness
Of the blank paper
Stories, poems, songs, sketches
Memoirs and diary entries
Epistolary, novels and sonnets
So much and too many
All in my eyes or just the paper’s itch
I wait, I wait
To understand the mystery,
Of body and mind
Sex and love
Siamese twins
Ciphers disdain these questions
Some ambiguities can’t be deciphered
By a mere itch
Blank paper is just as susceptible
As a crossroad

I wish I cud write poems like u do...
This one took me to a far away, long lost comfort that I once danced with...

Keshi.
Very abstract, and kinda surreal for me.
But I liked they way you brushed across all the variant vantages...that maketh a dark hour somewhat another world within the one you live. The inner crest.
We all have our demons.
(This is what I interpreted, hope I'm right.)
Powerful use of expressions that melt well into one thought from another.
I love abstract poems! You have no idea how much I enjoyed reading this.
