Indulging in self-obsessed navel watch for greedy eyes like a cloud of saliva around the amygdale, they walk on sands fudging, seizing contradictions, smelling of raw flesh and salt, an extinction spring. The seeds are floating an parachutes between the burnt-out lures. Everything splits into sparks charging the air. The guilt looms large, arches like an octopus, riveting before an artful design. Just one lump of sugar on peripheral fields to dilate the pupils in dark baking the bones. Let us swim up to the wall, wild in our groins tie up the shoelaces and climb the portrait. SATISH VERMA

Satish, This is an enchanting poem replete with beautiful imagery. I like your style and selection of words. I quote a Quatrain from my book Rubaiyat of Josh Malihabadi -A Drop and the Ocean: The desire to unfold mysteries of nature burns me up/ And craving for knowledge fanaticism develop/ The wine of thoughts doesnt quench my thirst/ The hunger for knowledge eats me for sup. -Mohammad
