Ocular

A Poem by Chandradhish Ghosh

The clouds stopped crying and moved aside
Unleashing the sun,
He blazed on unperturbed by the sudden loss
The moon felt amazed the sun didn’t even care
He looked at her pallid face with scorn
She conceded and bore his heat without complaining
And suddenly she was no more.
The two eyes kept wandering,
From the sun and to the moon, to clouds…
It moved on…
And now to those ubiquitous, small things which come falling down
The hands came to the aid.
‘I can’t catch them, they are too small,’
The frown made its remark
‘How small!’
The eyes moved aside and fixed on the wall
‘They aren’t here anymore’
Bewilderment pushed aside despair
Back to the window now,
‘They are falling here!’
Bewilderment egged more…
But no one answered.
The glass…ah the water now…no
‘What are those colours?
One, two, three, four five six, seven…eight?
Eight colurs? Why? Eight, alright? No seven!
No I can’t quite count…they merge…
Glass gives out colours? Wow!
What is that creature walking slowly...oh an ant!
What’s the ant doing here now?
Look at it’s tip…black, orange body…funny!
I wonder where it is going...
They moved again…the bewildered,
The pup sat cuddled on the sand...basking!
Its eyes were closed…what’s beside that? Hay!
What is that man doing with that wood?
That wood is funny…the man held it underneath his arms
‘Oh he can’t walk!’ But he is walking...although slowly
Not the way I walk...oh that tapering piece of wood is helping...
Can this man run with that wood?
The eyes closed and the head turned around
Sound of wood again…the eyes opened,
The door opened…Mummy!
Frown swayed, bewilderment  followed and vanished
The mind sought comfort of known hands
The eyes closed down…yet they saw!

A pretty awesome Brecht-like write. Almost theatrical.

Thank you so much Pryde...glad that you like it!
A great abstract poem. The eyes can see all the wonders of nature as visions can see all the wonders of the unseen things. I like the entry lines the most but the whole poem...Bravo......................

You are welcome...Muchly...:)....................
Love the way you wove nature into your abstractions, sometimes we see/feel more with the heart than the eyes.
