Between borders


Confined within the dark recess
Enchained with brittle coirs
Thrives the fragile and delicate soul
Obscured to naked eyes

Looks gay to a bystander
The Fiery scorching and
Turbulence felt only at deep end
By the one betwixt

Tranquility greets from across
Myriad pleasures the heart seeks harder
Verdict never in thy hands
Benumbed thy suffers in dark domains

Bogus serenity shoulders apathy
And life swarms as in an illusion
With joy, peace and belonging
Endured just as chimera

P.S. This picture was taken by a friend and it inspired me to write the above poetry (if it can be called so..) Looking at the flower and the fence, I imagined the borders in peoples life, the mind, the physical borders the fences.. (India.. Pakistan the state of Kashmir..) and so on...

    I am really delighted at your usage of "thy"...felt like I am reading some romantic poetry of some time back. And yes as always the choice of words is remarkable and elevates the thoughts intended to express...loved it and would like to read it over and over("wont get cloyed")! Love you and take care my sweet:-)

    Dear KP,

    It is true, isn't it, that we build borders to guard the "bogus serenity". Nice thoughts...probing the "delicate soul obscured to naked eyes"...

    Well done!

    Best wishes.

    ps. A small typo, I think...did you mean "coir" and not "choirs"?

    Hello Arjun Mashe.. Yep indeed it is the wall of inhibition we build on yourself is more powerful than the international borders..

    Hi Anand - Oh.. thank you.. (blushing)
