Winds here

Yesterday

Yesterday when we were

Debating whether blood

Is thicker than water,

I saw

Two drops

Of water slowly seeping

In your skin.

Lets forget the strewn glasses

And drops of blood and now

Talk of what touches and

Feels us more.

Essays

Then like perfect poetry

Lengthy essays

On karma and happiness

Withers down to one word

Obedience

Time sense

For OSI, Carry On Tuesday

Lungs to legs

Then adventure screamed its
Lungs out and sobered down
In my knees. I froze and said
Not again. I shall not plunge
And then contemplate about
The decisions made.

So

That’s my life
No entry, no exit
Whirlwind of expectations.

Citywise

This city incubates
Vanity in its shanties
And camouflages nightmares
As dreams.
Still we survive
And say this is paradise.
