March 24, 2017 – Meenas Poems

Not much can be done
even for fun.

I slip into a reverie
I feel dreary.

A turn I expect
being not in the prospect.

I sit crossed
I have to pause.

Is it my life in short
it being the way I am caught.

I am turning into a being different from what I had […] […]

Seeing Myself October 19, 2020

The more I stay at home the more visible I am turning, ironic it sounds, ain’t it? that is what is real. I am seen with the virtual in mindthe image grows larger than the real. a bit of physics which I studied young rescues me, The real image is made of converging rays while the virtual is an extension of divergences. I […]
