A Flavour of Life
A Sojourn
Close our eyes for some moments
For the sight blurred our inner vision
We despised width, length and height
A symmetrical urge wilted sense of life.
Close our eyes for some moments
For the sight colored our soul much
We ceased to touch heart and mind
A melanin measure altered face of life.
Close our eyes for some moments
For the sight stirred our mind wild
We twisted smiles playing on the face
A naïve move triggered storms in life.
Close our eyes for some moments
For the sight whacked our heart hard
We wandered in the mazes of love
A mere glance ruined castles of life.
Close our eyes for some moments
For the sight withered our conscience
We blamed suave curves and fissures
A sudden kink crashed the flow of life.
Close our eyes for some moments
For the sight robbed our psyche bad
We created nightmares out of images
A mere look changed all essence of life.
Now taste the life and forget all forms
Hear that every word rushes to kiss you
Smell the nature and each being with love
Touch the earth down and things around.
Sleep and dream the things we touched
Words you heard and the food we tasted
Smooth skin we felt and scintillating smell
A sojourn of sight will incite flavor of life.

How beautiful!
A very peaceful and serene poem! We must follow the message sometime.
Thanks and voted up!
An inner journey, oh how much this is needed! Sweet and meaningful poem.
I closed my eyes only I could not read the verse, lol. Just kidding. I fell in love at my HS prom and closed my eyes to love since. I closed my eyes to my psyche and never had nightmares - only occasional dreams. It was beautiful Harish, I voted it up, shared and pinned it.

Awesome lines, Harish. Very beautifully presented.
Voted up and awesome.
Absolutely beautiful.
Wonderful poetry Harish. Yes, we all need to close our eyes from time to time and savour the wonder of life with our other senses. Voted up.
Oh to quiet the mind of that most omnipotent of senses. To take the time to allow other beauty to permeate our being is such a blessing. What a marvelous and touching piece. Thank you.
Awww, that was just beautiful work, my friend, a pleasure to read and savor.
