indira babbellapati - A Poem Called A lump In My Throat

f only you're searching for br Kindness in this gruesome world br Ask this lump in my throat br Didn't you experience it br Moving from the depths of your belly br Navigating its way through the heart br To your vocal chords, blocking them br From speech when you looked at br A lonesome child covered in a coat of dust br And looking longingly at br The balloon seller holding a bunch of colours? br Haven't you felt it when you lost yourself br At the sight of two lovers engrossed in br Each other's company by the sea-shore? br Hey, you must have felt it br When you talked to the one close to your heart br Only to realize that you haven't talked br What you intended, overwhelmed as you're by br Hisher voice and hisher presence? br br It always stays put br It always obstructs br My air-ways br At every word or act of kindness br At each act of violence br As equally as br At watching children at play br At an infant smile br At a helpless old man br At a dignified old woman br At a child of restraint br A bunch of giggling youth br A pet waiting for its food br A bird feeding its young ones... br br At a distant melody br At a passing cloud br At bright moon-light... br br ...At every ripple br In this ocean of creation... br br 18 Aug 2011 br 12.
