Sans Inhibition

Life passes us by 
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!

  2. Thanks 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:
