Binding Eyes

Noted Nest

Updated: Oct 3, 2024

By Mukesh Choudhry



Have you wondered

For lies never stolen?

Have you forgotten

The days of our lives?

When you wonder

Of ties that were broken,

I wonder if you remember a smile.


In the workshops

Of a thousand jewels and their tokens,

There lives a dim lamp

That none lights.

In the shallow heavens

Of the nightless glee,

There wanders a gleaming darkness in shines.


Beneath our frights,

And tall, cresting autumn quotients;

An acceptance of pain

Shouts alive,

At the gallery of starless sights,

Stringing along on some ode to life.


March onwards, march on,

Marching on the hallowed horns,

Strung in-sanity, trampled long

Before the doves arrive,

And the ravens have had their time.


Will the curious ever fall,

To be dubious?

Could the jury be doubtful to call?

Would the holy consign us divinity?

Rain for the stones, lest they fight

No longer, anymore?
