Chennai

From freshly showered wet,
to uncontrollable mess,
I need a hair tying thing

From oh such a jolly morning,
to what have I become,
Where have I come,

You keep staring at me



Under the silk bandana
above the red muffler
Soft pink lips, glowing skin

With that faint sad smile
the lack of sparkle in your eyes
Tired of me, still tied

You keep staring at me




Across the distance
From West Coast USA
to East Coast India

Across the time
Good to worse
Then to now

You keep staring at me


And I can barely meet your eyes

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
