Under siege,

but I am so comfortable,

sitting on this bear trap

that I can't even feel that

my comfort is being invaded

by intentional encroachers

I just sat down, writing on

the laptop, this is what

happens right now,

as the siege continues

I'm sitting on this bear trap

comfortably, and it refuses

to snap by the talisman of my confidence!

I am a champion.

In the mist of sleeping cobras

who had hidden their fangs,

ready to bite with the venom of discomfort,

I sat still,

in my own independent world,

breeding confidence,

with an intelligence, I learnt from my friends

Now, I was in the mist

of yawning lions, I was not tense

for the fact that I was not confident,

but for the fact that I was in danger,

well, I continued to sleep

in this lair,

till the end.

I can feel the sunlight bouncing

and my soul flying into the sky

the laughter bounces back to the galaxy

and my smile makes the oceans dance

Now I'm floating,

my heart is running

at the sound of the trumpet

of the gold mine shadow

now my fortune bounces with benjamins

I think I've taken sanguine vitamins

I can ride the sky

because my destiny smiles presently.

I could hear deception snoring

in his eyes,

a darkness, darker than the mystery

of the imitating shadows

I suspect he was

a pile of sleeping dynamite,

it just required a fire of irksomeness

to ignite him,

then he would come out of

his silent shell,

a shrapnel of ignorance

to explode and blow up

all men in his way.
