Seeking, Searching.........

In the verandah I sit and stare
In isolation I smoke and glare
Into the blank, moonless night
The spotless sky with its rendering light
Seeking, Searching……..


On the roads, amidst the traffic
In crowded alleys, during pregnant pauses
In silent screaming and times horrific
Mind’s tussling with the heart causes
Eyes to rover all over,
Seeking, Searching………


In the pages of a read book,
Betwixt every line, beneath each word
Amongst characters forlorn and flop
Hoping to find that known look
Excavating hidden treasured-mirth
Beginning anew each time I stop
Seeking, Searching……….


In the living carcass of a dead mind
Trying to concoct a new plan
To re-write my-story all over again
To ultimately be able to find
Eternal sunshine of the beautiful mind
So I continue with split-memory, vision astride
Seeking, Searching………..


They say –
Knowledge is Power
But I knew –
Ignorance is Bliss


Was I Wrong?
Are they Right?
Need I stop my yearning?

OR

Continue My Eternal Quest?
Not Knowledge,
But longing Desire

Seeking, Searching……!!
