Still

/ robertcday

Boring disturbs.
A bear in my mind – grumpy and bite.
Elephant on my chest – gestating dumpily.

And it’s not that I never don’t not know what I do
As I augment with whorls and crenulations.
Serif to my courier.

It’s plain to me that the milk in my tea is sour.
I know it well.
I know.

But still
Still I bite.

Ah, still the mind and stir the heart.

    • I’m not so big on poetry. I can usually only riff off other people’s stuff. Which actually, when I think about it, would work rather well with what you have in mind. Probably.
      Okay – I agree. 🙂
      My name is Robert. I don’t believe I know your name?

      • Hi my name I. Ashutosh and what I have in mind is wanna make a really nice poem on topics like depression and anxiety. I always find difficulty in writing things that are like can effect peoples on personal level. And what I think is we can work together like we both will write a poem on these topics under same tag and link each other and post on some same day.

        • Hiya, Ashutosh – nice to finally get your name. 🙂 You’re in Ahmedabad, right? Nice place. Spent a lot of time there when I used to go to the Raj Yoga Centre over in Hansol – near the Airport.
          I don’t have any interest at all in writing about depression and anxiety. I thing that the more we let the mind linger on an idea, the stronger it gets. If you like, I can provide the positive point of view to your poems. They are just as likely to affect people on a personal level, so that could totally work. I’m just going to communicate on the blog if you don’t mind, Ashutosh – my life’s complicated enough without adding email communication into it. 🙂
