A Discovery
A bug has been biting continuously
My brain,
It’s like little kids thrash guava
With their incisors.
I discuss
Politics and of tomatoes and brinjals.
Politics
Taste of a curved young girl’s bosoms;
Sliced by ethereal hands
Like ready to eat raw tomatoes on the table,
This makes mind frenzies.
A bug has been biting continuously
My brain,
Have gone intractable after following the horizon
Like a mad, a contribution.
Sometimes like an enlightened
It just says:
“Life is a horseman’s odyssey
-the acceptance of emotions.”
