പലരും പറയാറുണ്ട് ജീവിതം ഒരു പുസ്തകമാണെന്ന്, പക്ഷേ.അയാളുടെ ചിതലരിച്ച ആ പുസ്തകം തുറന്നു നോക്കാൻ ആരും വന്നില്ല.താളങ്ങളില്ലാത്ത രാഗങ്ങളില്ലാത്ത ആ ജീവിതത്തിൽ ഇനി അവശേഷിക്കുന്നത് ഒരുപിടി കയ്പുള്ള ഓർമ്മകൾ മാത്രം. അതും ഇല്ലാതാവും മുൻപെ അവയെ ഒഴിവാക്കണം. എല്ലാം ഭദ്രമായി കെട്ടി പഴയൊരു നിർവികാരയായ സാരിയിൽ പൊതിഞ്ഞ് ഒഴുകി വിടണം. ആർക്കും എത്തിപ്പെടാൻ പറ്റാത്ത ഒരു ദേശത്ത് അത് ഒഴുകിയെത്തുമ്പോഴേക്കും ആ ജീവനിൽ അവശേഷിക്കുന്ന അവസാന നാളവും അണഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ടാവും.

ഞെട്ടറ്റ പട്ടം പോലെ അയാളുടെ ആത്മാവ് ഒരു ആൽമരത്തിന്റെ ചില്ലയിൽ അഭയാർത്ഥിയാവും.തന്റെ ഓർമ്മകളുടെ കെട്ടിന് പ്രേതമായി കാവലിരിക്കാൻ.

Shuli’s Love

Shuli washed her hair twice that day. One for her love to cleanse all impurities of reality and one for herself. She took a nap twice that day. One for love that took her melatonin, And another to forget. Shuli laughed twice that day. One on behalf of her tainted Love, And another on her botched brain cells. She cried a quarter that day. Half a quarter filled with anger, and the other half with shame. She danced twice that day, One for lost time on love, And another for her love for dance. Shuli wrote twice that day, One for her heart and Other for her brain. She gave two hugs that day, One for her wet pillow And another for herself. Shuli played hostess twice that day, One for her pain and the last for her sanity.

Little Poem

My procrastination ends here, While the urge to write chokes my throat, My hands get paralysed as in a trance, I find excuses to write a little poem, I make up a lonely man, a distressed woman, a lovers’ quarrel, an unrequited love, But they are reluctant to play the part, Maybe i should give them a raise, Or throw a party at midnight, Maybe a few drinks might work, Only if they don’t puke. I can expect a little vandalism, Some damage to the property and a mini scandal, Possibly out of rage. But at the end when I bring my weapons, Sometimes they get scared and back off, Some may never come back, Others find it funny and mock at me, And opportunists, seeing my desperation, Attacks me with manipulation. And all these while, my three panic attacks talk to me in a different language, I try to write a little poem With a racing heart and flowing eyes, I write my little poem, tortured and broken, I end my little poem, Like a mighty warrior, Who had a pyrrhic victory.

Madeline’s Mirror

Madeline’s mirror told her she’s fat, It appalled at her shapeless dress, Covering a chunk of flesh. She looked at her broad shoulders And big breasts, which reminded her of a pile of clothes that no longer fits her. But Madeline smiled and applied her eyeliner effortlessly. Her mirror sneered at her chafing thighs kissing each other when she moves. Madeline’s mirror found her plush lips contradicting the pair of flesh on either side of it. It spotted the two chins fighting for space like contestants in the combat zone. Madeline admired her freckleless skin, and applied her favourite lipstick. The mirror reflected her flabby arms complementing her saggy belly. Madeline moved closer to her mirror, which still in oblivion, started to produce sympathetic smiles at her legs. It mirrored how her legs carry all the weight, hiding under her flowy dress. Appreciating her silky hair and perfectly manicured...
