Time's Seeping Through

@This painting is copyright of Shivali.

Those who reside in castle

of own material reason,

would perceive never

my busier job than ever

these computing days, 

discerning nights,
revising joys, celebrations,

accounting errs, deeds with

entailed repentance n' fruition.......

Heart is preoccupied here

with flock of sentiments

to rear them with care;

facing a dilemma-

to reserve them or share.

Mind is exhausted 

in dealing with many 

lunatic agents of thought,

as a cordial host it invites

several nostalgic moments

from countryside of past.........

While drowsy eyes knit

numerous rainbow dreams

of soft, silky yarn of fortune.

Soul has yet more

to quill as daily chore

dipped in ink of imagination,

to fight against all agitation
caressing infant aspiration,

to cook faith with perspiration
hushing unfed expectation...........

Resolving some riddles,
some alien strife,

mending cracks
in walls of life,

time is seeping through

some tiny secret hole
to reckon with;

just as drainage of values,

is turning world into muddy wild….......
