Mind Games...



Concrete spaces
Hollow Earth.
A vagabond of sorts
Crisscrossing directions
With brittle momentum...
Innocent eyes
Gazing across
Through putrid wisps...
Mundane stares

As the pawn dares
Seeking ground
Before the king...
Angry yellow
Flashes, of Chaos
An interplay
With the vivid silence
Of mind games....

I just want to love you for a day....


Deep into your eyes
I will condense my passion...
Right into your soul
Will I rub the ashes
Of my singeing heart...
Closer to my breath
Will I draw your shivering being
For I just want to love you for a day.....
With a tenderness I've never known
Let me lock away those tresses
That cloud your countenance
And play across my strings...
As I run across the fields
That spread from your nape
And trap your giggles
In the nooks of my memory
For I just want to love you for a day.....
As the gurgling streams
Of untamed yearning
Meander through the inches
Of my fixated body...
Let me ensnare you in my arms
And take over your life
As a lost chapter of my own
For I just want to love you for a day......

There I am....


There I am
Hidden somewhere
In a hundred pages
Torn edges
Of tender memories....
Dripping from those corners
Are blissful nothings
I spent, basking
In the shy glimpses
You blew my way
With the silence of your hazel eyes.....
There lurks somewhere
The makings of a We
From a You and Me
In blatant blue
Written uncertainly
Then crossed out
Erroneous in a zephyr of emotion.....
Folded away, tattered I lie
In your desperate attempts
To look away
Yet there always stand out
Beneath scribbled mundane
Pages you wish you never tore....
There I am
Waiting for you...

Opekkha... (The Wait)


You've broken my fences....
It's time again.
To look for a chance
From under the arch of my palm....
As I wait for my insides
To silence their turmoil......
For a silhouette
Is beginning to take shape
From the last drops
Of the setting Sun.....
I hear the music
Of your footfalls
In the mischievous flurry
That tickles the leaves.....
And everything begins to sing
The gleeful drops of rain
Carry your being to my heart.....
Immersed in the perfume
Of the tender loving Earth.....

Dedicated.

Reverie...


Come to me
When the sand dunes dance
To the music of the stars....
And I shall leave whispers in the wind....
Written in sand,
That will graze your lips
Before they melt again
To become one with the Earth....
And the night
Shall raise her curtains...
Won't you take
The center stage?
Will I, then break
Our unspoken chains?
And bring to life
A nascent you
Born out of my colourless dreams?
For the songs of silence
Beckon my delight
As you resurface
From your fathomless slumber....
While I take in
With each breath
The musings of the sky....
Lost in the rhythm
Of this serendipitous number....

Cups of Clay...



Bubbling tea
Ginger laced steam
Tingling nerves
Innocent smile
Cups of clay...
I ask
Where is it?
 Your piece of celebration?
Shy laughter
Crinkling crowfeet
I melt it
She says
And sell it to you
In these cups of clay...
Limitless riches
Blown in moments
Aimless glitter
My celebration
Endless nights
Relentless labour
A bag full of coins
Hers.
All of it
She drains down
In those little cups of clay...

Bokeh...



As the embers of my last cigarette
Are quietened by the wind
I look through the mist
Of nicotine ghosts....
A world cluttered with hexagons
The lives and the lifeless
All in one frame....
Like chips of coloured glass
In a playful kaleidoscope....
While my hung up mind
Chooses to surrender....
To the balmy peace
Of a consummated moon....
The wilderness sways
In my silent adoration
Of one scar- less instance
That man has failed to molest....
And I’m one
With her presence....
Whether it is her beckoning
Or a drugged nerve wreck
I know not.....
For now, I decide
To blindfold my being
In her tender embrace...
And brush off the shreds
Of worldly affliction....
To carve out the essence
Of those fathomless bokehs....
