T.S. Elliot said : "Humankind cannot bear the weight of too much reality". These are some thoughts about realities that we deeply hold. We pretend that they do not exist and refuse to confront and examine them carefully. It can be most painful and dangerous to peer unprepared into the human soul.

        Our nature    

 

        Look at the opulence of nature

        Remark

        How beauty and intelligence

        Rarely cohabit.

 

        Only Homo sapiens delight in gossip

        Behold the media

        Swel their tales

        Like peacocks.

 

        All truths

        Are blurred

        By perceptions.

 

        In all transactions

        What we Want

        Is imagery

        What We get

        Is real.

 

        Our personal blind spots

        Are visible to other.

 

        Once brains are grooved

        Patterns become indelible prejudices

        Observe

                         Cultures

                         Religions    

                         Ideologies ,

                         Experiences

 

         How strongly we hold them true

         How rarely we dare challenge our beliefs.

 

         Personalities

                           Are like skin

                           Unalterable

                           Discriminating .

 

          Every day I pary

          That I stay

          Hungry.

 

          Truth is a changing spinning sphere

          Only visible

          A glance at a time.

         Why do we kiss with eyes closed but love with open eyes ?

         April 6, 1997.      

 

          Blind Kiss

 

          Like night and day

          In long embrace

          Our eyes entwine

          Eclipse and chase

                                                                                                                                                    To kiss your lips

          I hide your face

          Or loose your lips

          To find your face ?
