Eclipsed Cottage (To Mr. Barak Obama) Poem by Swami Jeevan Ekin

(To Mr. Barak Obama)

Eclipsed Cottage



The sun is half curtained

The pledged cottage is eclipsed

Fear in the cottage is bait for the voluptuous vampires

Tribes of the self-segregated province were once shadow eaters

Proud yesterday are now frightening obscure silhouettes today

The tribal chief at the altar knows not it all

Smoldering ambers reluctant to warm the chilly cottage

The dampened walls of the cottage are deafened too

Chief's groan fall uninvited on the indifferent walls

The Chief strolls midst the dark listening the howling of the stern muscles
