Beholding and Visualising...

Eyes - a reverberation to the world;
Evincing emotions and persuasions,
Some beguiling, some guileless...
Some blank as a slate, making the noun - a paradox...
Coquettish and coy, intriguing and intrepid;
Dark and light, Blue and hazel;
Different shades, diffusing diverse panorama across...
Descriptions various, elaboration assorted;
In the world's eyes; eyes, never what they are meant to be...

A Contemplation

Concentration eludes me, Irritation gripes me;
Shackling my inner self,
Restraining my instincts...
I seek to digress, endeavour to divert;
Hope for attention to hold, for botheration to dissipate;
But to no avail...it reappears - an egress; baffling and flummoxing me...
Avoiding and skirting, never an alternative, even if available...
Confrontation and face-off, breaking my veneer time and time over...
I desire for a change, I plead for a shift;
Beg for the yins and rave at the yangs...
And then amidst the melee, I sense strangeness enveloping;
I question my actions, excogitate over my deeds...
Am I a coward or am I intrepid?
Or am I just being what nature intended me to be...a fallible human?

Bereavement

The days hovering over,
Time, abruptly flying by;
Motions and oscillations seeming incongruous,
Normalcy appearing a duty unescapable,
Crowd milling around like a bizarre occurence,
Seeping in and out, brushing past an automation;
My speech and hearing, though dampened and hushed;
Evey deed, a banality; every action like I were a marionette...
In my mind, just one chant, just one intonation...
No blocking, no averting it; only bare acquiescence...
It has come to an end, a curtain finale to what I have held close;
My existence, my thoughts, my friends...the crux of my life,
Moving on, the next step...but I don't want to, don't wish to...
My only fear...losing even your memories - gags and agonies;
Let me retain those, treasure those and grieve for those...
With a free promise given to never wish for anything ever again...
