THE TWINGES OF CONTRAST

Folder: 
JOURNAL#26

arriving

being enveloped

by his

gently woven tenderness

so comforting

in the face

of such contrasting

cruel realities

approaching us

at every corner's turn

Life

on the bitter front

of near forsaken humanity

pollution

heat

man

and choking industry

scrapping it out

and trampling upon the dreams

of each his fellow man

in my glistening foreigner's eyes

five wonderous weeks worth

of breathless new love

evolved

teetering at the vacation fringes

of epidemic poverty

and environmental devastation

in my swelling

'I Love Satya' soaked romantic heart

that was

INDIA

as I left it
