there's a sun in my mind.its peak,gets me tanned.


eclipse

when i close my eye
another dog bites his bark
a fish revels in a walk
the sea goes shallow
for me.

when i close my eye
planets squish,
like apes mating
a circle grows a bubble
i feel a slow train
on my spine.

when i close the other one
for a brief lull
i go blind
in my mind's eye
then burst,
a volcano in a jar.

torched flames,colours speeding wild
like the first thought.
multiple rainbows
a flying snake coiled on

pyramid of shades
and unnamed hues
a vortex of red
plays a carpet for me
red,red..
a planet shaped of blood
in the universe of mind.
if this,
what last moments feel like
i'd oblige to death
many a times.

when i close my eyes
i see,hearing an earth revive
the ground walking itself
another mile,
the teeth of roads tattering
with defunct motors,
towered in a pile.

when i close my mind
i open my eyes
termite eaten wood,
a bag of wheat
even a pigeon
would despise.

a bed soaked with sweat
of running dreams
a window cracked
with the tremors
of my whip tail.

when i close my eyes
there is a sun in my mind

Zoya Zaidi
Don't close your eyes!
If I were you, I would go crazy!
You would make a very good surrealistic Painter if you were to paint those pictures.
I felt I was just coming out of a Salvador Dali's exibition!
((((Hugs for that Vivid surrealism)))
Welcome to the Bay!
love,
Zoya
