Blinded Vision
by Sreekanth Kopuri
This young eye
had many blank pages
waiting for
the dream-script
till the truth
a dream bigger than
the earth and death
a sea deeper enough
to drown the topless
clock towers but
while in a long
winkless wait to
reach the destination
a dark speck of
eye-quake from
the unknown
blinded the future
rupturing the vision
where the life boat
still waits.
