We breathe, we work
We do all that we must
But do we feel good
Liberated perhaps
Enough to enjoy our actions
Unlikely
Throw off the control,
& bring in the candour
that elusive purity
that fervent luminosity
which we have lost
somewhere along the way
Reawaken your dreams!
Think, Express, Live, Love
Let go of the all
encompassing shyness
Which takes away
from
what we can be, what we should be
that which kills our self confidence
& truly inhibits our progress.
Come in Openness
& begone closetted
shuttered utterances
We need to move on
To be who we are
In actuality.
Not what others intend
for us to be!
Lovely verses Nimo......thoroughly enoyed reading it. Am reminded of Kamla Das's Maggots :-)...dunno why. Keep writing :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Madhu. I must read 'Maggots'. At my book launch in Mumbai, some of my works were compared to Kamala Das's-I have always liked her style, seemed so like mine! Do look at my website:
