Staring out of window
STARING OUT OF WINDOW
========================
One day this pain will go away
When you will be longing for the same
On the Day of your final destination
In search of your childhood dress
Looking for your missing ring
and the unread letter from the unknown
To find all pleasantness explained in a book
Half of the circle I do not know
When elders advised me to act of age
And Half I knew to agree with the disagree
Like the aftermath of a war of tug
Dancing whistle of pressure cooker
Soft pillow of kisses in the dark
Watching the black silhouettes fly
Last cry of gees through window of the house
Toys all over the floor
But nothing here below is profane
Why to destroy the split milk
And burn like a hot coal
Do what you can do
Never say,Nothing can be done !!!
Do not put your quiet life to turmoil
In quest to master the language of carnal desire
~~~~~~Jawahar Gupta ~~~
