tensions 2

all was at peace
until you probed
the firbidden and unperturbed recesses
of life's essence
and the smile which once
lit your face
became
contorted resorted
distorted to the
streamlines of
an oblivious cacophony

all was at peace
but now the passions veiling
your soulscape
shivers wildly
in a frenzy of discordant monologues.

peek

they tell us
it's the breaking of a new dawn-
flaunting rainbow coloured promises
that rise with the morning sun...and i
outstretch my arms
to embrace the day
with a long yawn...
just in time to see...
it's all gone or...
there was simply nothing there!
just tall tales
and insatiable thirsts for the ballot highs
and cloaked cravings for a piece of the national cake...

no, don't you dare look the other way!
those stubborn searching eyes of yours,
cup their defiant flames
lest the stubborn unchanging winds of greed
and powerlust
they puff and huff
puts them out,
don't shut them
until you've showed them
what you saw...
