Down a Storm Drain

I fear if this piece of glass Hanging on end wall Shows who lies beneath my skin Her outlets,words that drop from my curved lips Or the words that she hides Compressing them beneath tied tongue Stares, through which she sees a world In her own perspective Keeps her contemplations beneath my fleshy layers Some dying in flick of moment And some expanding to the universe outside I always walk the line Of fear and false ego If you see the bitter water Maybe you'll hate standing Besides my eclipsed stream As it slowly engulfs In shadowed mouth of it's darkness Whoever close to her The known alien who started staying from eons The time unknown to me I know,she cares not for anyone Just I and myself Every selfish emotion it hides Beneath folds with tiniest pores Struggling forever for it's freedom I wish I could abandon it in the storm drain When monsoon clouds decide to come down Failing to bear it's own weight of tears 20/03/2019
