THERE'S A CHINK IN YOUR VEIL

There's a chink in your veil
I can glimpse the snowflakes
Fragile curves and strokes
A few of your eyelashes

There's a chink in your veil
I see the luscious lips pout
Glitter the golden sashes

There's a chink in your veil
I beat with your heart
Rejoice in the Spring
Sulk in dark niches
When hopes turn to ashes

There's a chink in your veil
I creep into your leisure
Gaze on past flashes

There's a chink in your veil
So I need not try and fail
To snuggle through your self-
created impasses

There's a chink in your veil
I sneak into the truths
Hidden yet unveiled
Where life with death clashes

There's a chink in your veil
I flow into your veins
And swim in to feel
How the blood rushes

There's a chink in your veil
Like so many other veils
It unveils exactly
Which the "you"of yourself
So poorly suppresses

  1. yOUR POEMS HAVE THE UNCANNY ABILITY TO PAINT A PORTRAIT, NOT ONLY OF THE EXTERIOR BUT OF THE PSYCHE TOO.The lines
    "I beat with your heart
    Rejoice in the Spring
    Sulk in dark niches
    When hopes turn to ashes"
    are so beautiful.
    After this , all what one wants to do is , to lift the veil.
