bosom

relativity

a crescendo

somewhere

far off

a cacophony

somewhere

closer

depending on

where you are

and where i

stand

never

muted

never

diluted

pure form

sublime

silken

soft

with

jagged edges

those sounds

your sounds

i hear

sometimes

from behind the walls

sometimes

from the universe

underground

sometimes

falling

from above

like stars

rain

hopes

dreams

wishes

certain words

flying

with wings

some

crawling

beneath

my skin

some sounds

those sounds

your sounds

come at me

sideways

crashing into me

before i can turn

spread my arms

and say

slow down

why this frenzy

you know you are

welcome

but those sounds

your sounds

can't hear

they raise

and rise

like a crescendo

cacophonic

somewhere

far off

somewhere

close

depending

on where

you are

and where

i stand

innuendo

on a stomach full of rock-bottoms,

he stumbled around,

just a disguise!

he said,

just a disguise!

who drinks whom at this tequila sunrise?

laughing at the tears of a clown

a clown

i

do not

take my make-up off

before i go to bed

too taxing

i think

the tears

shall wash

it away

the silent sobbing

benefits of

crying myself

to sleep

besides

why be bothered

about this

glittery gloss

twice in a day

why take the trouble

to put out

this mask

which

with every dawn

comes

as a gift

forcing my

self coloured

gloomy frown

upside down

into a blood red

grin

stapled

on my face

through out

the day

as i wait

for the evening

to build up

into the night

so that i can

coil

on my mattress

remembering

gut wrenching

eternal facetious

innocent sin

my once

pride n joy

now a chagrin

waiting

for the moment

when these

sticky wet dry

tears

come

rolling

burn

through my

masque raid my skin

and not taunt

or laugh

or point fingers

just run down

my cheek

nicely tucked

under my chin

asking me

while putting me

to sleep

hey clown

apart

from your

make-up

and

comic antics

and

funny frowns

and forced grins

how have you been

how have you really been

denude

the unassuming butler

manakin
