In between us

This is what weakened
Conversation leads to.
You speak of darkness
Looming over cemetery
And two ghosts patronizing music
Its absurd, I say
The ghosts are not talking
But singing lullabies
To awaken dead.

Chill

Today, as we speak
Of lost fragrances
I say, cling to me
For my blocked nose
Has a whiff of you in me
and now cant breath it out

Sit

Today, we hold the
Entire expanse in our fists
And ponder where in the world
You and me could sit.

Dictionary

Today, we spread dictionary
And lay down words
Which would have the
Maximum score in scrabble
This we tell is the score
Of our togetherness.
Preposterous, I scream
For it conjoins perfectly
To the score and meaning.

Arms

Your snaring arms
Is a perfect cradle
But, I have already decided
To sleep on hard rock

Question

Childhood question still unanswered
Whether I shall turn out be hero of my own life
Childhood question still unanswered

Secrets

Today, as though inner voices
Planned and stuck between numbers
We counted the hours passing by
And forgot about
Confessing secrets and truths

--

Yesterday night,
I saw your toes entwined
Making spontaneous love

Drips

Dripping moon lost

In hypnotic dawn

Sulking sun resumes charge

--

The dripping taps

Never burst

Like this hypnotic state

You and me are in

Forever sulking in whispers

But seemingly happy to others

Snoring you in me

This snoring of yours
Scurries like black mice
Trying to hide but
Always caught in my trap.
But,
Dream on, for dreams are sweet
Your snore, would add rhythm
To our nights.

This state

Today, let’s decide
Either you suck me in completely
Or let me drown in my world
Thinking cannot be forever

Two some

Not today, tomorrow. Decision never taken.

--

This yawn doesn’t reach you. Neither do I sleep.

--

Stomach bloating in indulgence. I don’t want calories.

--

Inhaling your breath. Now, you reside in me.

--

Trade requested her to smile and I was
Forced to reciprocate.

--

In the tree shade. Sleeping greens and me.

Slump

In this slump
When hearts loiter and economics
Of flaming hunger dominate
Acuity loses itself in the blue skies or
The greens below.
(We have nothing to do,
But just dream)

Probably,
Luck and 0pulence will rub someday.
For now, let séance dominate
the world and speak of austerity
and I shall dream of rubbing furs.

Wee bit

This little you and me
Leapfrogging to the celestial world
As though fireworks here weren’t enough
Holding the stars in my tiny fists
I say, they are like you
Enticing at distance
Finally only particles of dust
When felt and touched.

Muddy traces

Yesterday, I spoke
Of how the gloomy weather
Kneeled me to sticky mud.

I said, I felt moisture of rains
Thrust on them like forced
Love.

Today, I decided to suck
Transparent raindrops into me
To spare the mud of
Forced love and reciprocation.

--

This gloom slithers and kneels
(As though in obedience)
And soon darkens
The transparent sky to yet another evening.

So he said

Death cannot be said like this

In between spoons

As though grief can be

Spit out in indifference

It needs to sink in

Arouse sadness, wailed

And then, I shall scoop

Few spoons of rice

Before the next interesting

News pops out.

Stranger

Wriggling out of me
Is this stranger
Reflection in the mirror

--

“Is there anybody there”?said the traveller
Knocking on the moonlit door
Two there’s of the stranger puzzled me
We probably could discuss crossword
On end up having an secret rendezvous
But for now, I settle for a cup of tea
With moonlight soaking us to silence

Two lines continue

Praying waves dont wash footprints
Fading memories

--

Music resonates all over
Yearning for your coarse voice

--

Open doors
Your breath struggles to seep in

--

Books piled all over
Words still dont sink in

--

Walking into bath after you
Fragrance and romance sinks in

--
Watching reflection in serene still water
Human deception.

Lost me

Yesterday you dissolved

A part of me

And puffed it out like

Flamethrower’s sting

My strained toes

Still search for the lost

Me in your spine

Or probably your heart

But, this part of me

Is already lost in

Chill October winds

Cloudy

Longing for clear blue sky

Grey and cheeky clouds hover

We walk

Turbulent weather

Grey clouds hovering around

And my funny face

Yearning for your attention

Lets leave it all for now

And walk unrestrained

With umbrellas broken

And nature showering

Its tears and anguish on us.

Me to you

This I offer you
Never collapsible acceptance
Sweet words that camouflage us
And beyond all this
The eternal yearning for
The life that could have been
