Solitary Walk Poem by lalitha iyer

Solitary Walk

Rating: 3.8


Alone I go
up and down
past past, present and future
in my inner thoughts
reflecting about things
and persons around
true expressions
and false emotions
Silence! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I watch your speech
flavoured with lies
just to please me
and flatter self
I could sense you
disgusting disguises
as you pour out
all the icings
and decorated plums
your actions
your words
I explore
smiling within
echoes of pride and prestige
prejudiced you paint
in the tainted air
a world of charms
I am afraid
of lies
I withdraw
into my solitary path
how sweet is lonely talks
purity of truth never lost.

...... purity of truth never lost. What else to expect from a pure mind? !

the solitary mind is pure, Lalitha...the poem alludes quite clearly to a calm state of mind, taking off quite skilfully from a concrete and credible details...
