Shards of broken vase in the corner <br />Empty inbox and nothing in the outbox <br />Room littered with million pieces of broken glass <br />House in the middle of brownish desert and barren sand. <br /> <br />Whirr of fan <br />Leaking tap’s tik tik <br />Lengthening shadow of sand dunes <br />All empty life’s great events. <br />Proof of consciousness of the frozen statue <br /> <br /> <br />Listen to heart’s boring rhythm <br />To make sure you are still a living corpse <br />Watch the mirror <br />To see putrid horror. <br /> <br />Sometimes I hear knocks at the door <br /> Not sure it is a dream or am sane <br />I am pouring in sweat <br />But the hinges would have nothing of it. <br /> <br />I have heard that rooms with windows <br />Can bring the mountain in. <br /> <br />That prayers can cure <br />Or something like that the preacher said. <br />People infected with the word disease <br />Need to bark to get peace. <br />Analyze <br />Realize <br />Prioritize <br />Organize <br /> Implement <br />Never fail formula for life’s problems. <br />Free advice; it costs nothing to give one. <br />Love thy neighbor <br />Compassion <br />Helping hand <br />Toothlessly conventional wisdom.<br /><br />Raghavan Warrier<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/empty-26/
