Breathing lips


Like bodies entangled in the molten lava of Pompeii, telling no tales,

Too she is silent.

Tweaking through her vessels are a few lazy blood drops,

Escaping the chaos of oxygenating the earthy remains.


All the signs of passion have bleached out of her skin,

Only a pair of lips remaining, that could kiss but not love

And flash a smile,

To glamorize the sepia tainted memory of her with brilliant colours.


She is dead.

Slowly consumed,

And extinct.

Babel


National Geographic says there are 6000 languages in the world.

Big number!

Yet the elemental desire, to be heard and understood lingers on...

I wonder, if it is just the poverty of language in the contemporary world.
