The Key to the Chest

This year's last poem from me.

The Key to the Chest

This will be the last poem

that's gonna originate from the -

ball point tip of my pen this year.

My pen will be idle for a while.

In fact, this is not a poem at all.

This is the key to the padlock-

I'm using to lock the chest-

of my imagination.

I know I can't keep it closed too long.

I couldn't find the 'stop' button.

But I can still fix the 'pause' button.

At least for a while.

From this day onwards, for a year

I should constrict my eyes to the things

that can help me in the study,

not that things I've to learn from.

I should not see the angels and beasts

which the foamy clouds make in the sky.

But I should study that the scattering of light

is the reason for its foamy white colour.

I should not marvel at the beauty of the

seven coloured rainbows,

but study 'Total Internal Reflection' causes it.

I must not enjoy the beauty of the sunset.

But study that the red light has the

greatest wavelength among the colours

in the visible region of Electro Magnetic spectra.

The sun should be nothing more than

a distant celestial object

with angular magnitude 0.5 degrees

and stellar magnitude around minus 27.

Waterfalls must only be a turbulent flow-

of water to me, with the Reynold's number > 2000.

I'm restricted to wonder why

the aircraft fly in the air.

I'm only allowed to be thorough with

the Bernoulli's principle and it's derivation.

I should only care what's in the textbook.

Anything out of it- irrelevant.

But I'm okay with that.

I can get used to it.

Here, take the key to my chest,

and only return it when I ask you

after a whole year.

What if the padlock gets so rusted so that

I can never open my chest again...........?
