Capture of happening -- From the eyes of a greying actor from the silver-screen -- Glancing sideways into the reflectors placed in the womb of the mirrored walls, I find myself peeking at the me -- for a moment lost in self adulation, glowing in late Summer twilight of interspersed pieces of attitude. Forgiving that moment, I turned my egoistic self toward the outside-faced window -- dismissing the oomph of vanity as I saw the evening birds come flying back to their nests after their forays into space. I felt myself slipping in time greying at millennium speed as darkness of the evening sets into the light of the day, marking the unwritten words -- each bright spot has to end. An actor on yesterday's stage has to rid himself of his make-up and popular skin to reveal what lay underneath the mask of day's glamour -- the true colours from a fading skyline when neon lamps pretend to be suns. I slipped myself into my shell, the pomp of few minutes ago left as quickly as the light -- now shrouded in quietude and aloof - with self-owned moralistic views I stayed within myself glued, yet unstuck, true. ~ [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 09-06-2000).] |

Sudhir, Your imagination is endless and colorful. You pull the reader right into your poems and into your characters. I wonder if you have ever attemted a novel. I'm sure you would be as successful at that as you are at poetry This is superb Liz |

This is definitely one of you better works but there are so many of them that it is hard to say which is best. Martie is a great one to be inspired by and you have honored her with this piece quite well my friend. (now about that novel) |

An actor on yesterday's stage has to rid himself of his make-up and popular skin to reveal what lay underneath the mask of day's glamour -- the true colours from a fading skyline when neon lamps pretend to be suns.

Sudhir, please insert the stunned silence here, A standing ovation for sure. again excellent work my friend.

'dismissing the oomph of vanity' one of the most interesting lines I have seen from you yet Suddy... It works, it works...  Good poem my friend K"He looked across the silky surface of the Severn... it was a famously difficult river with fierce tides..." From Jack Maggs |
