The Doorway of Consciousness، a Poem by Neha Bhandarkar

My existence in me
the size of a small dot
was getting tortured 
by the ordinariness in me

Orderly, to and fro, moving senseless meaningless thoughts
grow innumerable offshoots
of thorny toxic branches

For a moment, my existence
turns multi-coloured
Thoughtlessness shatters 
my own ideal tenets

Unrestrained passions
get reined in 
by a genteel ray of discreetness
with the guilty horse within me

The cloudy windows
of the grizzly mind
start fading automatically
to open the door of conscience!
