The gush of optimism
No moods, leisuring on the long corridor:
A sweet breeze, a gush of optimism.
I turn around in a wink of an eye,
And see him passing by, sliding away.
There's more to him than his lean body,
The faded shirt on his back, shows.
Time has permitted to us closeness.
During this he has consumed liquor once,
Has thrown the fag end a few no. of times.
Has often made his eyes prurient, yet often
Comes up with a pose that touches his heart.
-Nothing is bad until the thing becomes the habit,
Nothing injurious when taken through heart,
Nothing prurient when the sensation
Satiates the heart and remain there.
-It seems he has a good understanding
With those bad things; I do not.
Another sweet gush, of optimism,
The faded shirt fades in the dark stairs.
I am again left in dilemma whether
To believe in him or the bad things.
