attach me to my core
detach me from the rest
put me on the path
of non-attachment...

What binds
You to me,
I asked
Tears, you replied
And went away

Tears, down my cheeks

Explorations: VI

Neither...nor
A predicament peculiar
To all

Given either...or
We fail to
Make a choice!

Dichotomy

What children do
Unintentionally
Adults do
Intentionally

Children in bliss
Adults in stress!

Between You and Me: II

What’s between
You and me,
I asked
Life, you replied
And went away

To charter your life's course

Death, O, Death...!

an invisible shroud
you slowly spread
and push one you set
your eyes on, to rest
