Catharsis


I love the way you do it
That annoyance, that toughness
Which take the smile off my face


And catapult me into
Another world
Of silence, emotions and distances
Of dampened joys
Of ghazals and sad songs
Which ignite a different me
And inspire poetry
And voyages into self
Away from all power and pelf
And detachment above all


I'm so glad about this barrier
That keeps you from understanding my poetry
For if you did
Your eyes would go moist over it
And then I wouldn't have liked to see
The catharsis that would have followed
