The lost eye opens
5 June 2016
Inner worlds
Engulf everything
All begins
In the self
Ending in simple nothings
Sums of a lifetime
When all ends
Infinity’s rope
Mountaineers
Cling on to
Valleys and peaks disheveled
Remainders of us
Listen now
I know you recall
The first Time
When stars stilled
Measures of feelings distilled
The filter coarse net
The visit
Night’s exploration
The knowledge
Fever’s curve
More than hilltops to observe
Exponential graphs
Sighs and laughs
Learning is teaching
Self pupil
Meek master
The slow pacing goes faster
Inches of treasures
Relinquish
The woes and pleasures
Only thread
Regained sight
Through remnants of joy and plight
The lost eye opens
Reading of the poem:
I asked for Love – Lisa Gerrard & Patrick Cassidy
Geetha, thank you kindly for dropping by and following Flaggfan. We’ve kind of circled each other at Tosha’s blog, but never befriended each other. I’m glad we are now “official”
Great poem, too. I listened to your reading of it, and I love the sound of your voice. I think you mentioned it before, but what accent is that?
Welcome and thank you. True, we did not really pursue knowing each other’s writings. I don’t think one can actually distinguish any particular accent as I have gone through so many different accents through teaching which made it all a melting pot. I have had british and american teachers as well as heard a lot of my Indian friends or French friends speak English. It all depends on with whom I am talking and what I am reading which then defines the inclination of my accent (US, UK, Dinglish, Frenglish or just a bledn) 😀
You’re most welcome.:)
That’s all good though, because we’re friends now, and I couldn’t be happier, or more honored. Oh, that’s right, you’re of a multi-cultural background, correct? Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you through your amazing poetry. Have a wonderful day and week!
Thank you and a wonderful day and week to you too. It is a shared honour and privilege. We grow by our interaction with others. Yes, I do have a multicultural background and look forward to reading more of you too although my time is quite cramped since a couple of months now.
Beautiful poem, resonates with me about my journeyings through life.
Thank you Adele. We probably have similar journeys 🙂
Beautiful. Your inner world is magical indexed
Thank you Tosha. Magic is a part of us
Yes it is. You’re welcome xo
Xoxo dear
The pacing does build nicely
Thank you Derrick 🙂
Geetha!
Loved the poem, as always you were able to draw me inside your mind’s realm. I also enjoyed your puns like “pupil” etc. 🙂 Witty you!!
