A china bowl
filled with salt
lies in front of me,
yet it is so empty.
I scratch my head
as the pencil's lead
scratches the sheet
flakes of dandruff
fall at my feet.
A strand of hair
falls in my view
I push it back
a time or two
and think of what
to write or do
but thoughts infinite
and words are few.
colours thanks to Deen

ReplyDelete"thoughts infinite
ReplyDeleteand words are few."
this is lovely. that is how i came to taking ONE word and spinning it to reveal more. it is easier than starting from infinite thoughts and trying to streamline...
Deen>> and thats why i love your work! but im lost for words very very often.. even in your poems i wouldnt know all of it, i need the dictionary around, thanks to a little french i know, i manage that part!
