Young, is what we all were at some point.
Growing rapidly is what our parents say.
Boy meets girl.
Girl meets boy.
They become friends.
Then become more than friends.
Three years later celebrated prom.
Hurray!!!
Year after that Graduation.
They get lost into college and find other fish in the sea.
Decades later A high school reunion.
young is what they were. middle aged is what they are now.
Boy finds girl, and the girl finds the boy.
Tears of joy seap out of their eyes as they hug.
Tighter and tighter.
The bond is strong!
when years turn decades.

the sky's clouds
can be soothing bubbled scale,
protective thick hide, or
soft stringy fur all
painted on
that big blue
dragon's foreboding and
daunting cosmological
back.
War
You bury your boys.
  We bury our boys.
  Our tears can never
  bring them back.

  What's the score in war?
  Number of men killed or
  maimed? Which is worse?
  No man returns the same.

  The girls at home waiting
  will never know him again.
  He's silent or screams at
  night in dreams of war.

  The children will cringe
  at his cruelty he hates
  but never understands.
  It's war's carrion breath.

In the end,
I had no choice but
to cut the last thread
that sewed us
together.
Blue is cool
but that's just them
trying to fool you,

they scrawled it in red paint
now
that ain't cool
but again
it's just them
trying to fool you.

Monday's blue
and that's true,
I'm hot and bothered
but I usually am.

I wish
She was here
whispering in my ear
'stop whining, the sun's shining,
what more do you want?'

oh!
I have a long list.
a
fantasy,
you and me
waves crashing
on the shore
In the olde days
babies were made this way
according to Hollywood

life
loses it meaning
when you know
there is no future

when we all pretend
we haven’t past
the point
of no return

hoping
everything
will go back to normal

why bother
life lust love
we’ve been given
a death sentence

Everybody stop
stop pretending
that everything is normal
as if the climate
hasn’t change

the happy days
are over
there is no hope
for the future

humanity will
survive
our way of life
will soon die

i am not easy to love

i whisper it into the breath i blow across the cup filled with steaming tea

i am not easy to love

i trace the words into the stone at my finger tips as i gaze at the water rushing over the edge of the cliff

i am not easy to love

my mind chants as i open my palm to catch the fallen dice

all this time later, a decade and a half, it was time to write the truth in stone for us both

“i am not easy to love”
Weird conversations that only desi girls have.

Sometimes I do small things,
small enough people don’t notice.
I pinch my wrist,
I pull my hair.
I let piercings close-
only to pierce them again.
I seek out so much pain-
so much hurt-
because it helps me feel again.
