Reminds me of the ****
That invaded me, as we
Are pushed down
By a low iron sky

Reminds me of the Sun
In the wheat fields, as men
Constricted every move
Hot breath foaming at the mouth

Reminds me of your clamp
Iron-tight, as wails
Came from every crevice
Between stacks of bodies

I am paper thin. Compressed,
Thinner than a hairsbreadth
Suspended in weightless space,
Fingers and rough cloth

A babe howls, far
Like wind, through alleyways...

Thunder claps - engine roars to life
My feet sank into the soil
Your face turned to me, pale
Rain will fall - I know

Run. You mouthed, but
No, I can't ever flee
Storm clouds, wheat stalks
Round, and round...

Your weight upon my body
Heavier than a dead cow
Your breath upon my ear
Whispered in exhilaration

I want to be your hero. Drunken wind
Screamed, and you breathed it out
As I saw, the raindrops rip
Through your gaunt cheeks

Clouds descend and bare their teeth
Down, into darkness and heat
Throat is parched
Air is stagnant -

Smoke, smoke, all smoke
Ash in my lungs...

Stayed there for millennia
Sheets of rain crashing down
Lay there until stars came out
On the black drapes of my eyes

Hazy, my vision becomes
Lungs, black as tar
Suffocation presses closer
Grip tightening on my throat

You sprawl beside me. Crimson sky
Hangs low. Damp soil between my toes
And the rumble of thunder, no,
Of the engine, in my ear

I flung myself at you
Across mere inches
Spots dancing in my eyes
Bellows ringing in my ears

Your face glimmers, pale
Through the murky waters
A shadow of an image
Long lost, long forgotten...

By the waving willow-tree
Turning your head around
Your lips cracked into a smile
For the very first time

I raced toward you
Freefalling, you float away
I took you by your hand
Roaring currents - I slacken

Your heartbeat, steady
Your pulse, beating
Your arms around my waist
Your lips against my cheek

The world heaves a sigh -
Empty sockets still
Leagues below the surface
Your hand within reach...

Like every last step
With all my strength
I reach for you
Your bony wrist

Like every first time
I fling you up
You float to the surface
While I sink down

Last embers die
As eyes close gently
I want to be your hero
For the very last time

peace is war
ignorance is bliss
just obey
george orwell was right
big brother controls

जो होते हुए भी नहीं आते
उनसे मिलने की कसक
जो नहीं रहे हैं वो आज भी
बसे हुए हैं दिलों में बेशक
यह टीस ही हमें बुला लाती है
देने पुराने दरवाजों पे दस्तक।।

dandelion clock,
whispers dreams into the breeze,
wishes take their flight.

Atul Subhash, I empathise with you,
This modern age is evil.

Your wife behaved narcissistically,
The judge behaved more so.

I can understand your situation,
And you're a lesson, an inspiration.

I won't ever get married, brother,
For I fear divorce, yes, I do.

Instead of getting married,
I'd rather get a cat, yes, a cat.

As for my monies, oh the dust,
I'll donate it all to a cause.

Animal welfare,
Medical research.

Somewhere useful,
But not in a marriage.
