shadows flicker
in response to movement
induced by gentle breeze
a branch shakes
eerie images cast
upon glass windows
I lay in silence
listening to nothing
yet hearing everything
the rhythmic breathing
of all slumbering
inhabitants
all lost in their dreams
that take them through
journeys unknown
the night is rife
with happenings
the eyes cannot see
copulating cats
insects incestuous singing
like crescendoing lust
my eyes grow heavy
lulled by the cacophony
just beyond my grasp
sleep overcomes weary body
soon introducing another element
into a night on a brink of a new dawn

hey .ani,
Good One! Well, you describe a self-absorbed constantly ruminating fatigued figure of despair lamenting another sordid day, almost catatonic in thought of weary mundane everyday happenings, irritated at life and at the same time quite jealous of how others taking it in their stried and wishing to play in his/her playground of dreams(a safe sanctuary of some sort indeed) and to enchance some form of hope that tomorrow will be different where peace and happiness prevails. Nice piece of work!
you take care, M.
p/s: This is just what I feel when I read it most definitely different to what you meant to express.
p/s: 5Mins huh! Always like spontaneity of expressions, there's nothing like spewing out thoughs and feelings instantenously in whatever form!
M ... ahahah I like this take of yours.
Ironically the rest saw other imageries. You on the other hand see the other side of what my words mask.
Interesting. Very interesting. :)
and thanks for the compliment .. I think :p
Nice, nice. I like poetry, especially those by normal everyday beings. Can't describe it as well as Mohan does but it is short, sweet and really nice!
"normal everyday beings" - I like that classification LLT :))
M on the other hand is a poet in waiting :)) check out his comments on the poem just before this - like WOW!
my preference is writing about every day people and things :)
thanks guys - if I ever publish :) you get them hot off the press for free *guides honour*
