Parallel Paths

Strived feet are
                                                                stumbled on this river bank
                                                                cold and slender fingers
                                                                wading through the rapture of ripples
                                                                reminding,
                                                                dying
                                                                dying,forever

                                                                eclipsed were the ways

                                                                pain strewn thorns
                                                                anguished astray
                                                                wavering wilderness
                                                                pensive plodding paths

                                                                wither,they
                                                                wither,forever

                                                                after
                                                                the light years
                                                                I know, you will map us
                                                                on the palm of a miser

Daver Austin December 30, 2013 at 10:27 AM I detect a cry for release, an anguish, even anger. Very deep stuff, Syam. Congrats on the selection. daver Syam Madappattu January 1, 2014 at 10:34 AM Thanks,,my friend Daver
