Tell a wise person, or else keep silent,
Because the mass man will mock it right away.
~Goethe, The Holy Longing
I've
been thinking all night
weird
things, good things, bad things
hoodwinking
all over my head
full
of people, my place
can
I ?
shall
I cry out for little space ?
Been
tattling around
this
and that, poking around
installing
my ideas, ruminating
over
little chit chats,
should
I ?
I
should stop doing that
I
smell the wickedness, stench of
mockery
saluting my nostrils, people with
eyes
too slurred to see what I see
heart
too blunt to feel what I feel
befriending
experts of mine
lampooning
in the guise of camaraderie
zenithal
stage is not so far
and
while I'm on my way
I see
people floating away
demure
and the dauntless Me
words
and the doctrine I speak
nothing
but piffling to thee
I've
been speaking all night
weird
things, good things, bad things
hoodwinking
all over my head
Should
I stop ?
I
should..
Say
not to just anyone, right sort of people I seek
catches
the drift when I speak
can
envisage what I see
sense
the semblance from what I feel
Do I ?
I reckon I do
have bunch of them in my yard
daft
and wise enough to endure me :)
Too much of talking and listening lil makes no sense :P

Wise words Jyotimi. Some dreams were killed at the drawing board cause they were shared with the wrong person. Wisdom is so necessary to know which friend to share what with. So key.
