lalitha iyer (7.6.1967 / Kochi, India)
Blinded at Heart
When the bird sang
music flowed
when the dawn broke
colours flooded
when the silent heart watched
Vibrations sent
messages of beauty
across many spaces
How to marvel
the love of God
every egg full of life
and activity
every eggshell armed
with the strongest wall
and lovely yolk
invisibly sprouting
the chicking beauties
Love yolking the core
and lovers blended
inside the egg shell
marvelling the beauty
as I stood stunned
Blinded at Heart
she broke my egg
and shell shattered to pieces
and down her ugly liquid
it oozed out
all Beauty gone....
