In Inevitable Absences... Poem by indira babbellapati

In Inevitable Absences...

Rating: 3.5


sometimes confusion laces
the mind and sometimes
visible green dots
float across the puddles
like directionless paper boats
sometimes diffidence
sits on its haunches
weighing a ton on the
fringes of the heart
sometimes fear sets ripples
like the grandfather's clock
after striking into the wee hours
sometimes stars flicker
beyond my reach
sometimes full of confidence
i float in the weightless
spaces within...

a fountain of emotions
spring forth in your inevitable
and eternal absences

yes...wonderfully composed. it has that anonymous touch...like the poem isn't aware of its own beauty, and it is reciting itself, charming others with its wisdom as well as its innocence. amazing. thank you.

The nayaki-nayaka bhava of the earlier literature is present here...in the last two lines the most specially...nayaki's emotions in the absence of nayaka....but I don't understand why you have used the term eternal...or am I wrong totally...your style is impressive as usual....thank you

a lovely musing there...fear is a very delicate thing..it is so solid and abstract..satan's creation..it smiles it.s way into us
