Ugly and Hideous (poetry eleven)

I desire mornings like the 
the night birds, preferably
owls. Ugly and hideous. 



 If you wish
you may call me
a poet, 
Because I feel juggling with them-

words. 


They ascend with my vocation, and in
flickering sunbeams
they disappear like
camphor.


Strange you be, 
so good with words but
what about
feelings?


You are 
like that pressure driven wind that rustles 
mundane leaves
only to nurture the silence of
warm afternoons.


You are like those children lost in
moon, only to be found at
tiffin breaks.  

You are not a poet, no, 
you are like
feelings shoved
in a coffer.
Yes.  


 So the story goes

 In this whirlwind of falling worlds
emotions are just motifs,
but still we
yearn,

don't we? 

We hope, hop, 
and hope.
This way or that way. 



We the children of
Down-fell
wait for our scaffolds.

We just wait.

 We long for that perfect bliss,
 we long for that perfect
 kiss, we wait for everything
 that is not solid, for
 everything that
 can vanish in thin air
 like that,
 every little thing that is 
  not
 Ugly and hideous. 



Some of us wait,
just wait,

for that perfect
perfection
of

Love.
