The million dollar smile
I saw two men walking together
One had a frown on his face and the other, a smile
The frown was constant and so was the smile
The man with the smile was blind...
What are the colours in his black world that make him smile?
What is the sublime prayer that steadies his faltering steps?
What is the faith that lights his darkness?
Maybe his blackness is tinged with unusual colours we fail to realise exists
Or maybe his darkness too is rainbow tainted
Or maybe he is just fortunate for not seeing the complex irony of colours the frowning
man sees
man sees
Whatever it may be, this man sure does have various reasons to smile...

That was an excellent juxtaposition of a blind man and his colourful world and a 'sighted' man and his 'dark' world. Very poetic, very evocative. Great imagination. keep going.
excellent, gayathri.
I suddenly remembered that you write blogs nowadays.
keep writing. are the four lines your original? i must say they are good.
being a poet, i would have loved if you stopped there rather than explain the four lines further...
Hi Abhilash,
Thanks for remembering that i started blogging too. Yes, they are all original. Well, I do not have a natural penchant for poetry, the reason i elaborated.
This site is one of the best I have ever seen, wish I had one like this.
