Trembling lips

Trembling lips

A Poem by sharma

Often I find myself kicked,
cursed upon and shivering,
with out a blanket on my back.
I find myself muttering by myself
poems in English from my trembling lips.

In the brink of dawn
When I find myself with a difficult word
In the dialects of English
I cough out loudly 
to be kicked again by my partner
who like me is half asleep
And then I start rhyming those words 
with phrases
with tempting illustrations from my heavy heart or the fluttering thoughts,
whatever fiction feeds my fancy
but I don't stop muttering
clattering and bouncing 
and pronouncing those heavy words
in a bicuspid symphony 
only to be kicked out of bed.

My native language is sumptuous,
but my preference for the foreign tongue triumphs hard
because even in the orchestras I put while asleep
to put a freezing definition to myself
I speak out only in English

My dialect will curse me, burn  me 
give myself a trembling slap like the antagonist still sleeping just did, 
Yet the in frolicking prose of words 
wearing a large white frock amidst the meadow
 a stranger me still sprouts
with trembling lips and half closed eyes,
crying cursed incantations in English.
