million questions race at a thousand miles an hour zigzagging their hundred ways into my slow sunday brain why does love need a reason a nagging reason to be? what makes your needs, my desire a desire of you to be mine? and how can I make it look natural, a way so natural and not make-believe? nagging interrogations by locusts of introspection when simple words become menacingly invisible and the tough ones become the whiplash from my tongue pungent like some acid in liquid cleansing agents if love is all so pure, what are we trying to clean? if love can be a lie, who cares who’s true, you or I? who cares who’s who? and what’s what? I don’t want to be your unintended lover, and I hate playing games if you give me the choice oh! someone stop the gravy train before it births a nasty migraine oh! please someone stop the rain before it gets too damp to be sane ah! this ferocious heat of uncertain times is burning right through my skin like laser through stone just then, a kettle throws a whistle, a harsh sound to drown harsh roars of queries inside my head-- and I return to loving you again ah! mercy was at last gifted in spoons of sugar-sweet love measured in kisses and treasured in moments of longlasting embrace and then, right then, the questions rushed to hide behind tall curtains as if to discover for themselves the ambiance of love and to merge with the arms of patience-clothed time .... too many questions, far too little answers... maybe the answer lies in living in harmony with the ghosts, and not to answer all questions, lest we all become tipped with an all-reality-seeking poison that's set loose by the ever-questioning serpent inside our heads... just an after thought on a sunday morning maybe... |

nagging interrogations by locusts of introspection when simple words become menacingly invisible and the tough ones become the whiplash from my tongue loved this.... the whole is very good but this stuck out in my read..strong image..and prized for its unique presentation... As for the answers...you find them please share...for I know many a soul looking for the same. |

Sudhir, your writing just gets better and better. This piece is very interesting and also very well penned. It asks many well deserving questions that I think we all ponder...but, perhaps we should not question so much and enjoy love and life as it comes. I agree with your after thoughts placed below the write. Outstanding writing here my friend. ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

So much to think on here. I love the "Locusts of introspection" I have millions of questions all the time, too, it's good when we can let them go for a bit. Sandra |
