Your English….

your English and myhinglish

I
In the camouflage of languages and crystal tongues
I waded in words, till the syllable started dropping,
Phrases menopaused, and jungle of conjunctions

And seams of relations are wearing. There is a bane data of language game.
But nothing about the sounds except twitter.
