"averse" poems
I’m not broken I’m a puzzle not to be solved I’m a bird of… Preying on rain… But the clouds elude my webs I’m the underside of an antisocial umbrella What with the moisture-averse lovers nowadays I shoo them off and twist my spokes And finally I’m no longer pretending completeness for the sake of my surroundings Because She comes clad timeless Comes with the thunder And She tastes like all or nothing

TW: r#pe culture anxiety-riddled, my head is a constant battle of sounds and feelings crashing like waves into each other; interference scares me. as does being out of rhythm, missing too many beats — i am conflict-averse but i am also realistic: i know that sound travels faster through solids and liquids than through the air, can be distorted and interfered into oblivion— that when push comes to shove, whisper networks can only reach so far. scores of screaming matches between metoo advocates and r#pist apologists crescendos of nails scraped across a board feel a bit too familiar like listening to white noise and broken records on repeat while scrolling through toiletpaperworthy nonapologies witnessing victims collectively crying in an orchestra of agony and then be blamed for attention-seeking at best, of causing their own suffering at worst. although it pains me to listen to these tragic tunes, it is amusing how so many mishear this collective choir as survivors celebrating with silly receipts in cancel parties serving blistering hot tea sweetened by revenge - no all this is anything but cathartic. it’s to make people aware that the same melodies are sung or screamed by those who suffered similar pains and so that those of a similar frequency know there are those who listen that their voice matters and we are not alone. - 20210315

karmic crescendo
On my way to work, Whenever I pass through The Holy Trinity church, After a brief prayer, The tombstone of a martyr My eyes never fail to search As his eulogies sensitive cords Are sure to touch! I admire The tombstone’s design A flickering torch, Whose tongue Is the  martyr ’s statue, That talks loud his virtue! “Holy Trinity Till I crossed the river of death Allegedly, striped of my health, Poisoned by evil doers, Who hanker By unfair means To amass wealth, I had been A public servant Adherent to my faith! ” “Holy Trinity To abide by Your commandment- Don’t steal- Was my desire Also to pull out   millions From poverty’s quagmire. Across the board development Working better than one's best Efficient resource utilization Also drew my attention! " “Holy Trinity A generation To corruption averse Is all-out The bad scenario In my country To reverse.   A generation  for A developmental ****** That has lust. I have come to understand The coming up of Many a lass and lad, Whose rights that  demand I need no more reward, When in front of you This way I stand Justice to demand! ” Children of Oromia, Ethiopia’s elephantine branch, You have to detach Your state, your country From the impudent And the corrupt That still exercise The outmoded Colonizers’ Divide and rule As a fool . A corruption fighter Development’s workforce Is also a hero Like Ethiopia’s Valorous and dear sons Balcha Abanefso Geresu Duke,Abdisa Aga And Jagama Kelo. Children of Oromia Giving to divisive guys A deaf ear, You should hold your Country Ethiopia, A cradle of mankind And civilization, dear Do not forget Adding up Is the current road map Evil doers Killing a hero Could not bring The change drive To zero. As a poet what I can say “Evil doers Stop to opt for Devilish way! But if you Keeping going astray You will go To the grave in Ignominious way!”//

Tes yeux sont si profonds qu'en me penchant pour boire J'ai vu tous les soleils y venir se mirer S'y jeter à mourir tous les désespérés Tes yeux sont si profonds que j'y perds la mémoire À l'ombre des oiseaux c'est l'océan troublé Puis le beau temps soudain se lève et tes yeux changent L'été taille la nue au tablier des anges Le ciel n'est jamais bleu comme il l'est sur les blés Les vents chassent en vain les chagrins de l'azur Tes yeux plus clairs que lui lorsqu'une larme y luit Tes yeux rendent jaloux le ciel d'après la pluie Le verre n'est jamais si bleu qu'à sa brisure Mère des Sept douleurs ô lumière mouillée Sept glaives ont percé le prisme des couleurs Le jour est plus poignant qui point entre les pleurs L'iris troué de noir plus bleu d'être endeuillé Tes yeux dans le malheur ouvrent la double brèche Par où se reproduit le miracle des Rois Lorsque le coeur battant ils virent tous les trois Le manteau de Marie accroché dans la crèche Une bouche suffit au mois de Mai des mots Pour toutes les chansons et pour tous les hélas Trop peu d'un firmament pour des millions d'astres Il leur fallait tes yeux et leurs secrets gémeaux L'enfant accaparé par les belles images Écarquille les siens moins démesurément Quand tu fais les grands yeux je ne sais si tu mens On dirait que l'averse ouvre des fleurs sauvages Cachent-ils des éclairs dans cette lavande où Des insectes défont leurs amours violentes Je suis pris au filet des étoiles filantes Comme un marin qui meurt en mer en plein mois d'août J'ai retiré ce radium de la pechblende Et j'ai brûlé mes doigts à ce feu défendu Ô paradis cent fois retrouvé reperdu Tes yeux sont mon Pérou ma Golconde mes Indes Il advint qu'un beau soir l'univers se brisa Sur des récifs que les naufrageurs enflammèrent Moi je voyais briller au-dessus de la mer Les yeux d'Elsa les yeux d'Elsa les yeux d'Elsa.

You'll be initiated, when you are ready. Life knows, and the initiation rites are waiting. Where you are holding, you will be broken. Where you've lost heart, you will be shaken. Where you are careless, you'll meet your neglect. What you are averse to, will be total and stark. What you are attached to, will be pried from your grips. Ignorance will be wrought with vision, a burning, to make you see. You are loved so much that you will be engulfed in the flames of loves fire, in order to ignite your own hearts flames, and fulfill loves destiny. Alchemical change will ensue, destroying you, to make way for new love. Licked by some Hellish ordeal, Ambivalence gives way to Engagement, Rage engenders Clarity, Anxiety becomes Inspiration, Apathy roars into Feeling, Melancholy imbues it's Depth, Licked by some Heavenly delight. Phoenixed, you'll fly, the hero of your own journey, wielding revelatory fire, with great Wisdom and Compassion, a Gestalt, anew. The circle closes, it is a spiral, to the beginning, of another Circle.

Initiation
My face tells me nothing. Not nothing but nothing useful, the complications of ageing humorously but not how to avoid injury. Permanent injury is a now popular cliché. At this age any injury could result in pneumonia, pain in bitterness for your peers, your jury. What a headache I have! And never forget injury provokes at best only pity. Friends are merely friendly, they belong to the majority. They forget your name and so should you, who are you? Even you don't know for sure. In relation to community, no change was noted in       the registry. Still, man's mercy, economy's ecology, there's some joy in being small, some joy in staying strong, and keeping death before you without perjury. Unsafe to run the wind. A big stick might hit your head. Then the hip and heart and head will hurt, all three. Un- fortunately. I like a strong wind. Dangerous to go out in. As a fire or flood. I like the way we are at risk, not a risk-averse weasel. A carnivore, very hungry. Pay money, take chances. Yo's an elegant contraction of you. Cool. Message from street to board: mongrels rule. Democracy or tyranny. Scared to die? Why? Take appropriate measures, descend through meditation. Be empty, rest. And to your friends and sons be as gravity. Tired of death. It's what it is. Let's play sports, have *** kayak to the huckleberries, fish for marvelous fish, live a wonderful life, give generously. Done blowing, O wild wind? Not yet? So be it. I lay my head in your felt hands. The motion of the branches, evolutionary branches,       are my guarantee. That's all folks, 7:30. The sky is clear, the crows are out. The clouds are with my mood commensurate. I should shout, having lived prodigiously.

We’re in a young-love recession. Gen Zers are slow to trust and averse to risk, we have, it seems, a particular social nervousness about interpersonal exchanges and the symbiosis of love. So we resort to situationships (undefined relationships), a stratagem for closeness, with zero commitment. You can flirt; you can kiss; you can dance. You can have a crush so big it blots out the stars You can have transformative romantic encounters you can care deeply and get hurt badly you can, in fact, be absolutely wrecked by love All without ever being in a relationship. Thank God we’re only young once. . . Songs for this: Die With A Smile by Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars Busy Woman by Sabrina Carpenter

recessions
’Twas on a lofty vase’s side, Where China’s gayest art had dyed The azure flowers that blow, Demurest of the tabby kind, The pensive Selima, reclined, Gazed on the lake below. Her conscious tail her joy declared; The fair round face, the snowy beard, The velvet of her paws, Her coat, that with the tortoise vies, Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, She saw; and purred applause. Still had she gazed; but ’midst the tide Two angel forms were seen to glide, The genii of the stream: Their scaly armour’s Tyrian hue Through richest purple to the view Betrayed a golden gleam. The hapless nymph with wonder saw: A whisker first, and then a claw, With many an ardent wish, She stretched, in vain, to reach the prize. What female heart can gold despise? What cat’s averse to fish? Presumptuous maid! with looks intent Again she stretched, again she bent, Nor knew the gulf between: (Malignant Fate sat by, and smiled) The slippery verge her feet beguiled, She tumbled headlong in. Eight times emerging from the flood She mewed to ev’ry wat’ry god Some speedy aid to send. No dolphin came, no nereid stirred; Nor cruel Tom, nor Susan heard. A fav’rite has no friend! From hence, ye beauties undeceived, Know, one false step is ne’er retrieved, And be with caution bold. Not all that tempts your wand’ring eyes And heedless hearts is lawful prize; Nor all that glisters, gold.

On The Death Of A Favourite Cat, Drowned In A Tub Of Gold Fishes
Le garçon délabré qui n’a rien à faire Que de se gratter les doigts et se pencher sur mon épaule: ‘Dans mon pays il fera temps pluvieux, Du vent, du grand soleil, et de la pluie; C’est ce qu’on appelle le jour de lessive des gueux.’ (Bavard, baveux, à la croupe arrondie, Je te prie, au moins, ne bave pas dans la soupe). ‘Les saules trempés, et des bourgeons sur les ronces— C’est là, dans une averse, qu’on s’abrite. J’avais sept ans, elle était plus petite. Elle était toute mouillée, je lui ai donné des primevères.’ Les taches de son gilet montent au chiffre de trentehuit. ‘Je la chatouillais, pour la faire rire. J’éprouvais un instant de puissance et de délire.’ Mais alors, vieux lubrique, à cet âge … ‘Monsieur, le fait est dur. Il est venu, nous peloter, un gros chien; Moi j’avais peur, je l’ai quittée à mi-chemin. C’est dommage.’ Mais alors, tu as ton vautour! Va t’en te décrotter les rides du visage; Tiens, ma fourchette, décrasse-toi le crâne. De quel droit payes-tu des expériences comme moi? Tiens, voilà dix sous, pour la salle-de-bains. Phlébas, le Phénicien, pendant quinze jours noyé, Oubliait les cris des mouettes et la houle de Cornouaille, Et les profits et les pertes, et la cargaison d’étain: Un courant de sous-mer l’emporta très **** Le repassant aux étapes de sa vie antérieure. Figurez-vous donc, c’était un sort pénible; Cependant, ce fut jadis un bel homme, de haute taille.

I I greeted you, my inevitable day In this shaky firmness of my hands; Assuring me of my weakness; the languidity of my serene constitution. The sky smeared with fright,undeed, and look, hark to how the sun closed the night! This was but unpalatable dew, misty in its impatient greyness Avidity for genuine sorrow and late confessions The calm heart then wronged, and soon the war touched the light! II Beware of love, o silly hearts! Loving thoughts, are indeed averse to relenting; albeit they are always leading to smirks and destitution. Release thy grains from yon grievous chain! Spark thy wings, heave and bend! Wear thy glee, ere any of the gruesome tears remain! Shield thy mask with greater abhorrence! III O notions, fruit my doom and feed my sight! From womanly misery I yet ought to emerge and all its surly sleeves I ought to blight! IV O peace, fetch for me my untaught breath in vain Keep me steady, ditch me not in the rain! Tend me more, yet not my cheerful friend- in pleasures whom thrives, in virtues was whom foolish! Praising plaited hairs, swept amidst folded skirts. Gruesome lies they carry, the finest they conspire to marry; what a horrid, unalterable, evil concoction! Yet pureness is the only that deserves awe; virgins are a symbol of unrequited love, but tenderest affection! However lonesome, hither and thither I shall bear this pain Until my stern heart melted to love again.

Unloved
Intimidated by political thugs Prone to insert in one's mouth The nose of a loaded gun Or suspend a plastic bottle full of water On males' reproductive ***** Devoid of freedom of expression Also denied  to his right and Deplorable condition drawing attention Shunning his God chosen land, What is more a bright and warm country Under the sun ,a journalist dreaming began Fighting all odds between The deep blue sea and the angry Satan To migrate to a better place, Where for democracy Avowedly there is a better space, Inhabited by civilized people, Averse to discrimination based on race! Burning his boat, Crossing desserts, Crammed with other refugees, Packed with him in a boat Some trying  to reverse Their economic lot, Surfing uncharted waters Seeking a paradise on earth He headed to the country he sought Though some their lives At the hand of brutal traffickers lost Beaten and thrown out of the boat, Also at a port Suspected of a terrorist bent Many migrants to prisons were sent. After a humiliating acid test Why for a dreamland his country he left As migrants' bane They placed him at the foot Of an ice-clad mountain. “I will never see My country again, You are trying my patience in vain!" He vowed Despite the razor-sharp cold untold. Then they took him up higher An epitome to a cold fire! Once more He put his foot down Putting on more clothes and Changing attire. They placed him At the mountain's helm As hell dark Where the angel of death Is seen stark. Then in his head Something began to bark “*You rather choose the better evil If both your assailants and hosts Are no two different devil! *" Seeing first hand Those with cold shoulder Assylem seekers adore to attack Though there are Few not off humanity's track At last he decided to return back And under his country's sun bask Mum for his rights to ask Killing his journalistic knack!

Letters To Lilith
1428 Water makes many Beds For those averse to sleep— Its awful chamber open stands— Its Curtains blandly sweep— Abhorrent is the Rest In undulating Rooms Whose Amplitude no end invades— Whose Axis never comes.

Water makes many Beds
I stick my fingers in my throat and throw up a basket of swallowed suns; under it, my tongue is parched and pinned in place like a dried house moth on an entomologist’s hand that nurses it back to life and demands devotion in return, a poem in return. But I have purged the feeling being out of me like a cold, cold man now averse to the ways of his younger lover who is alive for all of it — the lust and the starving kisses and the quiet deaths in the morning only to haunt at night. I leave letters for my bitten nails without meaning a single word, and go to lie with the superficiality, the hypocrisy nesting under my tongue. I have started writing poems again — see where they take me this time and find myself here, once more where a fool unpacks her baggage and out I come rolling like a dead body with a foaming mouth, a brown moth burning under the sun, a leech that scurries under salt and needles, slowly eroding like sanity. She thinks, therefore, she is, they say, but at what cost? She looks on and pens this poem with a tiny smile on her lips.

The Point in Pointlessness
The Art of Subconscious Illusion is an elusive tendency towards the averse,              or rather, the act of lying to oneself         Oft times you’ll find yourself wondering how...              …how you lost her…how you lost love…                             how you lost yourself          Your mind a jumble of                spiral static,          coils of confusion, twisting malevolently,                              failing and falling,                    flawed and faulty,           feeble and fading, you slowly begin to yearn for a second chance,         wish that you had performed more charmingly in the blistering tragedy of feelings lost... but there are few second chances in the misfortunes of life.       the damage is done, and now you must live with the consequences        of a dying will to persist in this journey,                               the ups                                                 the downs                                 the laughter                                                          the pain after endless days of convincing yourself you’re not to blame you finally see it for what it is...                     You made the choice      you made your bed, and now you must lie in it… and as you slowly make your way towards the reclining slope of the soft satin covers you’ll begin to see…. it was not a bed your actions relayed....                                                            ....it was a coffin

Be afraid of the bohém, they may write you a silly little poém to make you love 'em. Or even worse, in reverse, with their verse, coerce your mind and soul to converse. And even if their ascent is traverse and the obstacles adverse, routes to them are diverse. They refine their craft to give you a raft, don't be daft, they rehearse for the terse, tiptoeing over the perverse, not wanting to averse. They wanna choke the horses of your hearse. They have no need to beg and plead. Just a wish to slap your *** your steed. They just wanna make fear disperse for it they accurse, knowing well it's a curse. No need to look for your purse. Your courage will theirs reimburse and your smile their swollen fingers nurse. See, the reaper wants the tails of coins thus places them on eyes faced reverse. The bohém kick groins and leave traces but from coins take a print of the obverse. Why? Cause they want not heads, but what's in them. They want your head to stay ahead. Cause when a head is spiked by tails and filled with flashy tales, it is as good as dead. They want to help you stay afloat - forget about the raft, think bigger, think of a boat. Like evergreen crickets they ask you to disburse your fears and reverse your tears. They ask not for a penny, just a thought or two, not many. Like the ***** eyed and slightly sane miss Moneypenny. Some call it a gift, many a curse. A curse the bohém can inverse cause they submerse spirit in a lyrical sea and lower the stars for you to see. Remember and beware, if you reward them with something as simple a stare, you could be blinded by a hearty glare. Now you've been reminded, all's fair and square. So why not just stay there? It's just your spirit they may ensnare like a hare, only to mend it's wounded knee so that it can again hop away and be free. Art is the heart of the bohém and their heart is their art. So if you ever want to, thank them not with money but with a snack, sprinkle a piece of your heart with honey. They'll bite it and give you two back. Eat one too and make like a dove to flee to the place you really want to be. Ride the waves like Nikolai's bumblebee and fulfill your uncharted destiny.

They refine their craft to give you a raft, don't be daft, they rehearse for the terse, tiptoeing over the perverse, not wanting to averse. They wanna choke the horses of your hearse. They have no need to beg and plead. Just a wish to slap your *** your steed. They just wanna make fear disperse for it they accurse, knowing well it's a curse. No need to look for your purse. Your courage will theirs reimburse and your smile their swollen fingers nurse. See, the reaper wants the tails of coins thus places them on eyes faced reverse. The bohém kick groins and leave traces but from coins take a print of the obverse. Why? Cause they want not heads, but what's in them. They want your head to stay ahead. Cause when a head is spiked by tails and filled with flashy tales, it is as good as dead. They want to help you stay afloat - forget about the raft, think bigger, think of a boat. Like evergreen crickets they ask you to disburse your fears and reverse your tears. They ask not for a penny, just a thought or two, not many. Like the ***** eyed and slightly sane miss Moneypenny. Some call it a gift, many a curse. A curse the bohém can inverse cause they submerse spirit in a lyrical sea and lower the stars for you to see. Remember and beware, if you reward them with something as simple a stare, you could be blinded by a hearty glare. Now you've been reminded, all's fair and square. So why not just stay there? It's just your spirit they may ensnare like a hare, only to mend it's wounded knee so that it can again hop away and be free. Art is the heart of the bohém and their heart is their art. So if you ever want to, thank them not with money but with a snack, sprinkle a piece of your heart with honey. They'll bite it and give you two back. Eat one too and make like a dove to flee to the place you really want to be. Ride the waves like Nikolai's bumblebee and fulfill your uncharted destiny.

(Isaiah, lvii.15) The Lord will happiness divine On contrite hearts bestow; Then tell me, gracious God, is mine A contrite heart or no? I hear, but seem to hear in vain, Insensible as steel; If aught is felt, 'tis only pain, To find I cannot feel. I sometimes think myself inclined To love Thee if I could; But often feel another mind, Averse to all that's good. My best desires are faint and few, I fain would strive for more; But when I cry, "My strength renew!" Seem weaker than before. Thy saints are comforted, I know, And love Thy house of prayer; I therefore go where others go, But find no comfort there. Oh make this heart rejoice or ache; Decide this doubt for me; And if it be not broken, break -- And heal it, if it be.

The Contrite Heart
My doctor says that I'm too fat He never stops his barking He may be right at the end of the day But despite it all I'm starving I have a hole inside me I used to quell with spirits I stopped but they still haunt me They'll **** me, so I fear it ******* used to cure this all but no one could keep up then one day I felt all yucky abandoned all pursuits of "love" I had a year way back when Where all I did was party I stuck weird things up my nose But I ran out of money When I was a teenager my dad called me a ***** I got upset and cut myself but quickly I grew bored I drove fast around tight corners to feel the breeze on warm damp nights but today behind a wheel I feel paralyzed My doctor says to stab myself so I don't eat too much maybe if I'm smaller I won't cringe when I am touched But even as I sit here and to food I feel averse I know deep down inside myself I'll always have this curse I wonder what I'll crave now these meds they make me sick maybe just attention will be how I get my kicks I was once the right shape it wasn't long ago and even then I noticed how people come and go Will I ever feel full to the wind I'm ******* I take up all this space and still there's something missing

Done Aug. 8. 1653. Terzetti. Why do the Gentiles tumult, and the Nations Muse a vain thing, the Kings of th’earth upstand With power, and Princes in their Congregations Lay deep their plots together through each Land, Against the Lord and his Messiah dear. Let us break off; say they, by strength of hand Their bonds, and cast from us, no more to wear, Their twisted cords: he who in Heaven doth dwell Shall laugh, the Lord shall scoff them, then severe Speak to them in his wrath, and in his fell And fierce ire trouble them; but I saith hee Anointed have my King (though ye rebell) On Sion my holi’ hill. A firm decree I will declare; the Lord to me hath say’d Thou art my Son I have begotten thee This day, ask of me, and the grant is made; As thy possession I on thee bestow Th’Heathen, and as thy conquest to be sway’d Earths utmost bounds: them shalt thou bring full low With Iron Sceptir bruis’d, and them disperse Like to a potters vessel shiver’d so. And now be wise at length ye Kings averse Be taught ye Judges of the earth; with fear Jehovah serve and let your joy converse With trembling; Kiss the Son least he appear In anger and ye perish in the way If once his wrath take fire like fuel sere. Happy all those who have in him their stay.

Psalm 02
O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all. The crows above the forest call; Tomorrow they may form and go. O hushed October morning mild, Begin the hours of this day slow. Make the day seem to us less brief. Hearts not averse to being beguiled, Beguile us in the way you know. Release one leaf at break of day; At noon release another leaf; one from our trees, one far away. ****** the sun with gentle mist; Enchant the land with amethyst. Slow, slow! For the grapes’ sake, if the were all, Whose elaves already are burnt with frost, Whose clustered fruit must else be lost— For the grapes’ sake along the all.

October
The farmhouse lingers, though averse to square With the new city street it has to wear A number in. But what about the brook That held the house as in an elbow-crook? I ask as one who knew the brook, its strength And impulse, having dipped a finger length And made it leap my knuckle, having tossed A flower to try its currents where they crossed. The meadow grass could be cemented down From growing under pavements of a town; The apple trees be sent to hearth-stone flame. Is water wood to serve a brook the same? How else dispose of an immortal force No longer needed? Staunch it at its source With cinder loads dumped down? The brook was thrown Deep in a sewer dungeon under stone In fetid darkness still to live and run— And all for nothing it had ever done Except forget to go in fear perhaps. No one would know except for ancient maps That such a brook ran water. But I wonder If from its being kept forever under, The thoughts may not have risen that so keep This new-built city from both work and sleep.

A Brook In The City
Grasping vagrancy in one's child Most simplistic act is not Fractured maternal heart bleeds wild Suffered soul the abyss caught Crucible ever prevails fraught Futile remedy ailment breeds Posturing all heedless things Neglecting primal earthly needs Harsh inebriant trappings Averse entirely lucid pleads Clamping malady straining chest Wakeful blackness vanished days Clutched slight suckling babe at my breast Cast tears enduring malaise Reflection of having caressed Tragic sustinence chosen vile Sighted resolves not to see Relentless self imposed exile Indifferent to love me Offer life to capture a smile Grasping vagrancy in one's child Cognizant of special spot An alternative to beguiled Alter processes of thought I am needing to know she fought

Grasping at Straws
Warning: This is not a nursery rhyme for the fainthearted. The promise lit by life, Was actually lit by your lies. Owwwww! My forehead is mine I am made to realize, Realization comes painfully when I bang the wall. Sssssssssss! ****** I am hurting myself but that's all, Never stupidly brave enough to actually finish it. FREE ME! I request that entity to let me live my life, Cursed wasn't how I wanted to survive. Ouch!! The misgivings are just that bit too much, As though a beehive fell on my head as much. BANG-BANG-BANG!!! I bang my head to the tune which I play, And I am unable to bang it on a wall. Peace is what I get finally Cursed is how I live my life every day, Talking to walls like concentrated prisoners. I dare you to swap it with me! Yes! Swap your life with me right now, If you can't walk with me for the mile. Whispers The mile I dreamt with you, The smile you promised, The mile of my life. Forget about it I'm just joking about the swap, I'm no Devil, You can't live how I live because, It's my life, And I'm happy with as much I got, I've to breath alone, There must be some serious curse on me, I accept that curse. Loving people and then losing them is a ritual, I must live alone like a hermit. But you can live on talking only with the darker, Idol-worshiping him only. Enjoy with his pictorial representations & idols, Only one darker idol can you find. This is why I averse myself from idol-worshiping, Because it destroys relations. I lost not only my telephonic-best friend, But also my real life best friends started avoiding me. Not an idol-worshiper is a blasphemous term, In her religion, in Hinduism. It destroys relations if you start loving your idols, And if you even start living like your idols. You never did quite understand what Ishwar/Bhagwan/Rabb/God actually meant. All the best with your Kanhaiya, I wish you all the happiness, And hope that He gives you what I couldn't, Let your imagination work wonders for you.
