In The Web
written by: Solahudeen Ridwanullah O.
Spiders are here again tangling webs
One entangles into the other like inter-net
May our spirits connect
Like the twin arms of a walking clock
One ticks as the other tacks.
Mother said honey is good for kids,
I threw cakes away and shuddered towards her breast.
To see is eyes; to love is heart
Do you see what you love
Or do you love what you see?
To tango is a game of the two willing birds
Restyling to know who best can care
For both our eyes and the hearts
Friendship is water for two souls,
And if you offer me a cup from your heart
I swear, I’ll take you down to drain my father’s pond.
