City vortex Sometimes I roam the city like an eddy of dust; touching the loose streets, wobbly roads and shaky structures. They seem unstable particles of still forming earth. I touch the people who go through me; phantoms, ghosts. Only their emotions leave a palpable trace albeit following it can lead you to those blind lanes, with one building at the end, trying to conceal pain. “Do not cry.” The voice of some woman advises. Sometimes I move through the busy shops. Windows glowing. The mannequins want to talk. But I have long been deaf. © 2009 - All Rights Reserved Kushal Poddar Love Love in the time war has not spared a single deserted heart. While bleeding to death still love escapes to some moonland nonexistent. politics of love knows theories so strange. =© 2009 - All Rights Reserved Kushal Poddar clever talks delay friendship! |

Yo Poddarku, I see two nice poems here. Is there some connection between them I am missing? Bobby |

City vortex is awesome, the solitude while wandering in the streets is perfectly done...People don't exist, only their sentiments talk, and I guess there are a lot of sentiments where you live...Thanks for the very beautiful poem... yann |

Dear Ku, thank you for both of these profoundly touching poems. Your words always cling to the heart, they are saturated with deep perception and compassion. Most assuredly you are not deaf to the sufferings of humanity. Love and hugs. Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |
