Creative Corner - Robinson Raju

Composition

(on the day when facts will have no implicit meaning and music is no more mere vibrations)

vain thoughts

tumble about

neural affinities

charge opposite

forth and back

cortically swum

whispered with each-

the -other

mumbled mysteries

free radicals proclaimed

memories fecund forlorn 

within gamuts of wheels

where time is lost

& space unfound

yoked in infinity 

on packaged pages

of bound curation

published

recited

cited

sung

begun

in

vain
