The Beautiful Impossible

   Fish always keeps its eyes open
   Obvious : All its cards are shown.
   Staying in quiet silent mood
  Neither to protest nor be rude.
  Destined to be killed not to fight
   Bound to surrender : Is that rIght ?
                             Eyes open ! Everything hostile.
 
     With canopy of leaves tree stands
      swaying branches on stream strand.
    Withered leaves leave Mother tree.
    Detached leaves fall on stream, as free !
     Helpless ! Little brittle ripples
     cradle with much  care : So simple
                                 in normal, natural  life - style.

       First love was completely shattered
       All dreamy desires are scattered.
       Swam and sank in deep despondency :
       Endured failure, conspiracy.
       I demanded freedom from him.
     He walked away suppressing scream.
                                  He turned inert closing love - file.
