Sometimes one has to retreat
From the controversial world
To find an inner calm
To stay deep in the sea like a coral
Smiling all the way
Dancing softy
Listening to the soft flowing of the sea
Enjoying the calmness of the sea
Watching the wonderful muddling of schools of fish
A sudden emerge of a diver will bring
An admiration of the human being
From the outside world
And also a great pride and satisfaction
Within the coral
Once in while I
Become jealous
In spite of my well
Composed self
I am considered in my homestead as
A gentleman with moderate dignity and
Integrity with calm and democratic manifestos
But no one knows
How I suffer and weild sword
Of vengeance and hatred
Whenever eve-teasers pass remarks
About your curls as " wayward clouds
Instigating a storm"
No one knows how my heart
Pumps bitter blood into my veins
When I hear a crow cawing -
"Look at his love
Who wears mascara
Borrowed from my wings"
Notwithstanding hodgepodge
Of becoming grey and dry
Like a heap of autumn leaves
I understand
How helplessly I would have struggled
To own a passion as notorious
As the one I cage
Had it not been for your controversal presence
SPEAK OF LOVE IN IT'S
CONTROVERSAL SETTINGS
THOSE INVOLED IN SUCH OUTCOMES
MIGHT KNOW THEIR
OWN FATE
OR DO THEY MAKE THE RULES OF LOVE
DAY BY DAY
DO THEY STAND IN THE POSITION
OF BEING UNOBTAINABLE
UNTIL THEIR PRESENCES AND BEAUTY
ARE LOSTED OR GONE
DO THEY SKIRT THERE BODIES TO BE SUITED
OR DO THEY WEAR PANTS TO REVEAL THEIR FEMALO-BEAUTY
OR DO THEY RECITE RULES TO LIMIT THEIR RESPONSIBLITY
TO MAKE THE ILLUSTION OF LOVE TO APPEAR MORE FOREIGN
CALM THE WATERS OF FOREVER
TO SPEAK THE NIGHT AND DAY AWAY
SPEAK ME AS ETERNALLY YOURS
TO GIVE REASON FOR WAY WE PRAY
I STILL LOOK UP TO YOU
IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO DO
I ADMIRE AND RESPECT YOU
AND AINT ASHAMED TO SAY IT
SOMETIMES WHEN WE SEE
EYE TO EYE
AND WHEN YOU CAN TELL ME WHY
YOU WANT TO BE RIGHT WHEN
YOU'RE WRONG
OR ADVERSE FOR ADVERSE SAKES
