Love (Remove filter)
Vital
The haunting of a broken tap: drip, drop
The thirst after the sun: drink, gulp
She never said a lot, gargling girl
Sliding in and out of my body
Helping me breathe, walk, talk
That was why I swam
It was water
Brought me alive floating out to No Man’s
Diving down to skim the sand
It was water
Wanted it, always had it, but could never catch it.
It was water
Insipi...

Leverage
I’ve peeled off my skin for you
I’ve let you crunch my bones,
Consume beyond my flesh
Beyond my visceral tissues
Beyond my beating heart
Beyond the fibres of my being
Down to my soul
I’ve let you gobble up my spirit
I’ve let you slurp up my mind
Lick the lasting crumbs
of my emotions
Everything in me
Everything making me, me
All that constructs me
All...

Deadly Devotion
There is no such thing as a river wide enough
to keep me from reaching you.
If there is no boat available,
I'll simply swim the whole distance for you.
Even if I get swept away by the current,
I will make sure my body reaches you at least.

Alone and Lonely
If I had but a
Choice
To choose my fate
Farwell from this world
I'd rather drown
In the pool of tranquility
And die a peaceful death
Alone
Than be suffocated
Out of this lonlely life
Yearning for
Your lack of love.

Life Tercets
1
A story about
an old poet
and his cottage
2
A dream of an old mariner
lost in Wales
adrift on his words
3
A memory of
a young boy
on his maiden voyage
4
A memory of
innocence
lost at sea
5
A line on a chart
between a girl
and loneliness
6
A communion

Moon in the Morning Sky
So out of place
Yet so beautiful
Like the moon
In the morning sky
Losing its shine
And relevance
With the Rising Sun.

Illustrious Demiurge
Once in a blue moon and many light years ago,
Otherworldly starseeds began to incarnate,
and add to the menageries of the Milky Way's sacral space
in-between you and I: What a “sui generis”-jagged siamese
piece of a memory
with our other half
—filling us in—
on where we’ve been our whole life
So as to make known, any preconceived notion; shown in its true light, and meant to be…the des...

Wanderlust
I've been accused of
Not having wander lust
But only if they knew
How often I wander
Looking into your eyes
Sometimes losing my way
Getting lost
Into the depths of them
For hours together
Time is irrelevant
To the frustrated artist in me
As I keep trying to trace out
Your eyes
With mine
Without getting lost in them

Books>>
They judge me
All of them
Constant daggers of pity
Shooting from their eyes
For choosing the company of books
Over company of people
Loud music and
noisy dinner parties
Casual hangouts
where people
Talk and talk but
never seem to listen
You are missing out on life
They'd say
As they breeze out
for their quota of fulfillment
of this life
How would they ever understan...

Almost Like The Fairytales …..
Beyond the stellar rays of mutual hopes
We knew each other well just like
The monsoon clouds and the rain drops
Sailing over the sky during heavy downpours
Days were like the fulfillment of dreams
With our mutual touches beyond limbs
All our words were jubilant in listening
Each other’s syllable sailing around
All our peaceful melodies lyrical passions
Like t...

JASPER & JUNIPER
JASPER & JUNIPER
There are dawned mornings some often find the same balcony just months in difference,
Leaned over the same stretch of oak-beam and widen pupils
To untangle their breath as it intertwines with lake-steam;
And watch dragon-tailed sunrises in different-hued scenes.
Back inside a fire-warmed cabin held up by support beams over a thin beach
Prior to high-tide,...

Short Circuit
I thought you were my diode
and that you only conducted towards me,
but you started flowing the other way
forgetting all about me.
So here I am now,
waiting until this short circuit will be over.
Will it ever be over?

In Love In Angst
Whoever wants to die before his time-
Is not in love. How can it be so true
For someone who has seen
Both sides of the coin from the same distance!
War and peace, no matter -
You can’t afford to be slipped over.
So much to feel within, so much to feel
For, so much to feel genuine.
Yet you look for the end in itself?
Deep intimate theories invading

life is beautiful
i would fall from heights
shaking Lucifer terrified
for Luna's starry skies to linger,
in a Jashar night, by your side.
floating on Chopin stroked ivory nocturnes
swimming in deep ruby pools of Pinot Noir
dancing on your flowering lips,
sweet with vanilla cigarette smoke.
life is beautiful.
phosphorus waves of purple patches
carry me from seas of stormy eyes
onto shores sanctuary ...

Tranquility
The tranquility
Loves passionate fantasies
Night of the full Moon
