Schizophrenia

Her 'Verses on Schizophrenia' was written
        while both of us were immersed in Gauguin's


       yellow ocher smudging the eves in Tahiti
       on a bankrupted canvas throbbing to suck pigments


       each stroke ripping the foils of rustic mystery
       unfolded fathoms of emotions undeciphered in her skies


       eclipsing the tulips of reason,erosioned roots underneath    
       her gaze was thrust on an ivy stretching hands


       towards quivering wind perplexed to hide somewhere
       paraphrased each pulse in to the prose of dead tissues


       Her 'Verse on Schizophrenia' lies on the table
       A meteor crosses through the heart of a syllable

Nicely penned on Schizophrenia,Shyam. Hope you are well. Unfortunately, I am not live on poetrysoup. The problem is that publishers don't accept web published poems. My facebook link is 'fabiyas m v orumanayur'
