Our souls:
Houses with many doors. 
Each open and close in time. 
And some will remain closed. 
Barred shut and fastened with ancient locks.

Complicated in it's origin
Computed India version
Crushed by the English pound
So much so
It's now an alias
Trying to define its own, 
Own

We have to be home, inside, with the doors locked, and curtains pulled shut, by 6
No later no sooner
We don't want to be out when the city’s protectors begin to roam the streets

Often.now and then in a frolic line provoking humour
Whining about not escaping the compulsory sleep,
An unrelenting labour punctual on duty which is paid daily.

Dangling, weighted taut
by Nothing,
still.

I went through each day,
Just trying to wipe away,
The tears that I would cry.
But no matter how hard I would try,
They always came back.
Almost like a heart attack.
GO AWAY! LET ME BE!

You were supposed to be my best friend.
But now that has come to an end.
I had put all my trust in you,
I should have known it was too good to be true.
I tried everything I could do,
To try to please you.

The steed galloping unfurling plains of wondrous scapes,
The mane upholstered westerly with silvery threads waywarding
Down the lithe torso tensed with vigour eagerly awaiting-

reaches blindly through
the heavens 
brought low,
