Pain


Let my pain grow older and wiser,
When the death knell tolls,
I will built a coffin for her,
To be in solace,
To descend and not to levitate,
Because I sneeze pain,
I hear pain, I touch pain, and I walk pain.
I hear pain from
Deep down the abyss of hell,
Producing cries of unknown.
I see my body giving birth to uncanny prickles,
I touch the warm waters that gifted me blisters.
From the dark corners of beautiful gardens,
I see eyes of pain with beckoning signs.
When too much of fakeness engulfs my existence,
I see Pain commuting in public bus,
Looking out at the old footpaths.
Pain clutches tightly to the windows
Of the young widow,
with one week of nuptial happiness.
Pain borns when rain rapes the land,
Heavily pouring down in red and yellow.
Pain takes the form of old abandoned toy in the cellar,
Trying to get free of the dust.
The flowers of unrequited love in multiple pockets cry out in pain.
And when summer gets murdered by autumn, pain falls down from ashoka trees.
Sometimes,
Really many times,
I embrace pain and squeeze it,
Till it suffocates.
Because,
When pain is loved, it loves us back.

YOU

Never did I think I could find something as attractive as you, You were like my morning coffee Without cream and muffins, My first prayer on every dawn And the last on dusk. My closet is indifferent without your cologne, Which lingered all day along the hall like fresh lavenders. And it was not the tequila in my margaritas that intoxicated me, but the constant sight of you, everytime I blinked my eyes. My psyche was away from the earthly realm wandering in the intricacy of your control. Flipping through the pages of  our rendezvous I couldn't see the excitement in me, which was halted by what seemed to be my clockwork routine. But your face projected  the blisters in your soul which apparently you hid under your attractive words. In and out, we failed  To be the hues of each other's life. And I tried to paddle my canoe to reach yours. Yet you reliquished, your last song of content was dedicated to my colourless juice which purified my face. I wish the time had stopped jus...

  I have always felt that life is like a vast ocean. Most times it gets messy like the ocean, but we love it for it's calmness and the vastness. Even when it's messy we move with it, unable to predict the outcome. All our emotions that we hold, bitter or sweet, we let them grow with  us freely, just like the waves. We love and hate, we fight and cry, even if we don't want, we can't help ourselves from doing it. Because we have become so accustomed with the beauty it reflects.  We feel that we know everything about the people very close to us, but when we look deep into each one of them, just like the mysterious ocean, we get to see all the bitterness,  heartbreaks, insecurities and everything that they don't want us to see. We love and lose hoping to find a shore from the clutches of this chaotic mystery.  We move with our messy lives hoping  to clear the mess. But as the waves grow stubborn, it gets deeper and deeper we get entangled with it, leaving us in...

I Let Myself Sink Into You

  I let myself sink into you,  Taking deep dips,  Not letting myself float.  You kept the rhythm of ocean Calm and said the waves To come another day.  I got lost in the tranquility of your arms,  Seeking an abode for eternity,  Reaching out in bliss.  Maybe If I could live here forever,  I would dance at a different pace,  guided by the warmth of your heart. I see no lines seperating us,  Shutting down the little fragments of overthinking,  I place you close to my bosom,  Never to let you go.  Making all the falsities disappear,  I'm riveted by the hold of your hands,  the sheer joy on your face  At the movement of my eyelashes,  Making me fall all over again.  You asked me if you could join in my agony,  If you could make me think of  Things of joy, Checking my pulse and it's  dramas,  You dived deep into me,  Untangling the mysterious cords,  that encircled me....
