The Cursed Eyeball

Through a petite shimmer

that unravels large

as a blackened rainbow

in this whitened mirage

I glimpsed the thespians

of nature, afar

the romances of whom

always fell apart

 

Through a petite shimmer

that unravels large

I glimpsed the kiss

of twilight and dawn

the betrothed pair

betrayed at last

by the shadows born

from the womb of fall

 

Through a petite shimmer

that unravels large

I glimpsed the awaiting

mote of sand

for the single kiss

of a drop of sea

the wetness of which

an embrace to be

 

The drop was alas!

wrenched away

by the vicious ocean

oarsmen as waves

As the mote of sand

looked on and on

strangled was the drop

by the murderers around

leaving the mote

awaiting in vain

for the single kiss

that will never remain

 

Through a petite shimmer

that unravels large

I glimpsed the kiss

of the soaring breeze

to the greenish cheeks

of a branch's leaf

 

The breeze was alas!

brutally deceived

as the odes of peace

from its whispering breath

beheaded the leaf  

chanting words of death

Betrayal O!Breeze

Order of the storm

Your love,a dream

in the years to come.

 

As birds with feathers

of seconds of the past

lay dead and cold

on my memory's path

as a drop of rain

from the clouds above

paint myriad wrinkles

in the whitened mirage

the petite shimmer

that unraveled large

grows brutally dimmer

and enlightens my last

 

As the hideous shadow

of the glowing monarch

arose from the seas

with scroungers as drops

the birth of a dawn

as dark as dusk

bloomed the flower

in the aden of death

 

Blinded was I

to the eternal kiss

of the lips of the shell

that closes in bliss

Blinded was I

to the eternal love

not ever senile,

but remains a bud

 

A futile beholder

of otiose memories

Iam indeed a rainbow

eclipsed and maligned

by the merciless touch

of the curse of sight

of loves betrayed

and shattered to bits

of flowers that lost

its aroma within.
