164.Iron Wood-Yours, Once Again Poem by rajagopal haran

164.Iron Wood-Yours, Once Again



Like a ship without rudder
I wander without aim
Among the isles of human minds
Yet float on the surface
Bloated by the promises
Now assimilating the gloat!

Fruit can’t say the root
“Just you ripe in full
Ever giving the abundance”
I am clinging onto the earth
And sucking at her breasts
Hope I am not that evil!

Loitering and sluggard
Wish to be the torrent
Gushing towards the ocean
Carrying forward sweet dreams,
Secrets of the hillside
And songs of the forest!

I am the turtle on the ground
Unable to teach swiftness
To you stag, the radical
I am a small stream so humble
Lost in angles and bends all along
Lingering before I reach the shore!
