Poem 53 : Keeps Changing
My Second Visit To The Anna Centenary Library - 26/08/2023
This is about my second visit to the Anna Centenary Library, Kotturpuram. So, on 26th August 2023 I visited the Anna Centenary Library for the second time. During my first visit I read one book from the Philosophy section and one from English literature. This time I didn't venture into the Philosophy section, rather I focused upon the English literature section.
During my second visit to the library I read the book titled 'Jane Eyre' written by Charlotte Bronte.

Poem 52 : The Wandering Soul
The Wandering Soul - T ABRAHAM
A feeling of dissatisfaction,
A feeling of alienation, inferiority or discomfort,
No where to find a place,
So do I wander from place to place,
And so does my thoughts wander,
A hunt for belongingness,
A search to find my friends,
Whom I can't find out,
So does my eyes wander,
And so does my mind,
Who is the right person?
Where is he and who is he?
I am dissatisfied with my life,
Distressed about the things going on,
My mind wanders to a place,
A place it is longing to be,
My heart beat slows down,
A feeling of rest comes in,
So does the time come,
Now is my life satisfied,
To find what you really want,
That impossible state of happiness comes,
The feeling that is with a permanence,
So does my soul wanders,
Wanders around the places,
Wanders to find it's satisfaction,
Satisfied to rest in peace.

Poem 51 : The Eyes That Speak
The Eyes That Speak
- T ABRAHAM
I didn't think it is true,
Have heard that face is the index of the mind,
But didn't know this before,
Our heart's purity comes out in our face,
Our temperament through our words and actions,
But can't believe this,
It's true, and yes it's true,
I was angry with my face being covered,
The person didn't talk to me,
My frown look was hidden,
But how did he knew it ?
I don't know, I didn't know,
I was smiling with my face hidden,
But my friend too smiled,
He figured out I was happy,
But I don't know how,
Then once I had a frown hidden,
I was left alone,
She identified I was tired and distressed,
I knew at last but not the least,
Our eyes too can speak,
Our eyes can not only cry,
It can smile, rage out and frown,
It can show worry, anxiety and fear,
There came the answer,
The eye is an index of expressions,
So control the overflow of emotions through your eyes,
Just like a mind reader reading our face,
They can read our mind through our eyes too,
This day I became aware,
My eyes can speak.

Poem 50 : Understanding With Doubts
Understanding With Doubts
- T ABRAHAM
Whenever trying to understand something,
Always many doubts come along,
Doubts that are silly,
The thoughts that confuse us,
But wait, be still,
Then ask the one who understood,
Now wait, be calm,
To understand something, it is patience,
Patience that makes up a good listener,
A good listener to a good writer,
Then a leader is created,
First who had doubts,
Now stands with clear understanding,
When doubts arise,
They are shaping your thoughts,
Doubts acts as tools,
Tools that shape our thoughts,
Then at last no doubts,
Now you have a clarity,
A clear cut understanding.

Poem 49 : What Should I Say ?
What Should I Say ?
- T ABRAHAM
Many a times the screen goes blank,
Don't know what to tell,
Can't express my feelings,
The question comes to my mind,
What should I say ?
Words come out during a casual conversation,
But the right words are needed now,
My tongue slips at first,
Then I get hold on to it,
Now it's easy to catch up,
Speak up for yourself,
Talk what you think,
Think twice before you talk,
Words are more sharper than the knives,
Words hurt at times,
They make scars that won't heal,
They are more powerful than a scar,
A scar caused due to cut or fire,
So be careful and choose the words,
They have the power to bring an everlasting joy,
They bring along with them eternal joys,
So be clear and straightforward,
Use the words that make you unique,
Words that express kindness and politeness,
So learn to give out good words.

Poem 48 : Help and Slavery
Help and Slavery
- T ABRAHAM
The words mostly interchanged,
The two misunderstood ones,
The one who needs help,
Help is not by force,
It is done to ease the burden of someone,
He didn't demand help,
He asked for help,
Or many a times no words are needed to express,
The need or want for help,
It is something like air,
That doesn't have any form,
But you and I can feel it,
So is help and you need it,
You are thankful to me,
But it was a small help,
A help at first you refused,
But upon insisting you accepted,
But the other one,
The one who makes me do silly things,
He uses the term help,
Not humble enough,
It's not help,
He is making us his slaves,
I can feel it and you can feel it,
It is the smoke that fills the air,
So suffocating and irritating,
Hard to breathe and see,
But I am clear about this,
I helped one person,
I was a slave to one person,
The person who asked help was humble,
The other one was not,
'Thank you' comes from the mouth which needed help,
Nothing comes out from the mouth of the other,
When they have used you as a slave,
So is the words help and slavery,
Be careful while understanding these terms,
Helping gives a satisfaction,
Slavery gives a pinch of irritation,
So give a helping hand for the burdened,
Don't be a slave to a cheater.

Poem 47 : Should I Keep Quiet ?
Should I Keep Quiet ?
- T ABRAHAM
https://www.pinchofattitude.com/self-love-after-toxic-relationship/
Have a mind which is filled with calmness,
There is a switch to each emotion and feeling,
Switch them on and off,
But know which one to be switched on,
Know the right time to switch it off,
Don't turn them on all at once,
Mixed feelings might melt the connections,
The wire if melts would make the circuit faulty,
So be careful,
Electrocution causes madness,
Always turn on the happiness and joy,
These are always in a voluntary control,
Turn off sadness and sorrow,
These at times are involuntary,
Don't turn on the red switch,
The one with the danger sign,
This switch labelled anger,
This switch that turns off everything,
The one that utilizes more energy,
The one that has no benefit,
So calm down,
Keep quiet and think,
Think about the ill effects of anger,
The switch is off,
Don't let the anger burn you down.
