She tells me
About the tedious
Times I had
With you
You and your
Fumbling fails
My child
Never got up
From her sleep
Help never came to her
Because
You never there
Honey
You arrived
A little late
That hope
Was a place
For the people who understood
And a heaven for
Those ignorant of
Warring souls

Once I was sitting among smoke rings and laughter
A snake came from the azure waters
Somebody shot the poor reptile
I asked him was that a ghost
A strange reply came from his lips
When the eyelids don't shut
When the dreams turn to daydreams
These creatures **** the cocoons and fire
In the winters when the ice takes over
They only slide into their gold skin
Akin to the season
There is torpor
And everyday can't be a summer dithyramb
An august reverie of the old fat lady is everywhere
Or the church dies with christened saints
It is the prayers that keep me awake
And the hiss of the lizard king
The sermons haven't wiped the tears
Only fears have turned to wrought iron
Galvanized by the gold skinned reptilian queen
I love your inner demons
They have no compassion
I would have shot it in the same fashion
Quite impassioned with a rectitude
As I name this beast with the right attitude
Only your love can absolve me
I don't need your friendship
Blitzkrieg will not bring the snake from the burrow
Or this confusion where fire treks and climbs tomorrow
Through the forests and the tedium of twigs
A medium of solitude will crumble
Allows me to see why I tremble
I can't feel your lightning
In the stormy weather and fiery hours
The lizard king still lives
The furnace of the lamp that burns bright
In the garden
I left it there, to ensnare them all

I will not hurt you
If you break down
Like the dawn
If tears like morning hue
Cover the skies in blue
If what was once skin turns violet
I will not hurt you
Let your colours fill your eyes
If you are crying out loud
Let me see your soul
Is it bleached like clouds?
Or deep like a valley
My heart is shallow
Like a pond
You swim like a fish
I will not hurt you
My love cannot save you
Or destroy you
The water just wanders

They gave me a job
I wondered what my fee
Or my role was
If it was worth leaving my dears
Or holding back my tears
The thing about breaking
Is you find more love in putting together
Yourself as you cry for help
And no one hears your call or desultory philippic
A blue frock and pearl necklace
Was enough to recover from the wound
Of falling in a loveless place

Some learn from life
Others learn from their own mistakes

I could write
A thousand, "I love yous"
But my heart would still be silent

She loved
Love stories so much
That she never learned to love

If you only would fill
My shoes
I would tap dance under the starlight

When we look into ourselves
Deeply
We realize everyone is trying hard
How can we look into ourselves
Without realizing
We are at war with our souls
How can we ask for love
When we give suspicion
In return for friendship
Look into yourself deeply
If you hear silence
You may weren't born with a soulless voice
Sleep on this, or wake up and apologize for being sentimental
About your life

Do you remember
When you were the ghost
I had a feeling
That you were the one
While we wade
Your eyes would shine
Now in your scars they flicker
I can keep waiting
While walking
You cry in memoriam
In august reveries stalking
A vast interior of trinkets and memories
Have turned me into a
Ghost of my past

You really need a clasp
On the fair-headed looking for the essence of rain
Or you risk gasping for air
The knaidel startled me when I shared by numnahs
With the sensory deprivation that looked like the amnesiac
Running to pay the rent for my books
A young girl helped me sincerely and she was dead
In the library, who kept forgetting as they were trying to keep the books again
Curating each memory
Clasping the candle in the dark
We are finding love in the dancer of the dark
Maybe, we might want to leave the impression of dark people to a thousand stolid poles of lights bequeathed to the poor with their cold quilt

I felt the debris cling to my shoe
I felt a stranger hold me
I fell for a trick as my lover held me in a glance
As I ran from the country house
I felt the touch of fire on my eyes
I felt the wetcloth on my forehead
I fell for the banality of a nurse
As I ran from the hospice
I don't want this war
To take me alive
"We'll see to that for a moment"
My gunnery sergeant said as he handed me a rifle
As I clasped the trigger
I shot at the sky
I thought,"This bird has flown."
The skies were bare

I am sure you would leave me in the snow
You wouldn't think I was too unkind
I am not too low
I am sure you have your reasons
I am not that warm
You would think I'm meaningless like rain
That's the cause of progress of the pain
You change your process
When you think about an inhibition inside
I have my own curious disposition
If you want to bestow forgiveness
It is all up to you
If they tie you up and let you loose
You can kick the dust and live it up
Their fights are a cause for exhibition
My story curls in my mind
Ties knots in your stomach
Much like snow stuck on your highway home
My love will heal your body
And send sunshine to your heart
But, it will poison your soul
And the heat will eat from inside
Like a star with insidious intent
Leaving us in oblivion

I'm hiding from the light
Because I am scared of my shadow
Give me the night
Rising from the window
Rising ahead of me when you live and I die
The show is never over for the starving one
Who can't sleep hungry or being well fed
Because he has been taught to be angry
So why should I write about love
When many never see it
Is it because they miss it
We write about love because it sustains intellect

How many rapes
Must one society take
Before it can learn not to wait

Without the rest of the world on your knees, how can you ever expect to be there for me. I want the world, and so do you. I guess we will never be together.

Loitering in the violet hour
Flowers and fragrance tower
Overhead a humming and rustling tree
Underneath a crackling and rattling leaf
The chuckle often matches the shuffling of feet
Loitering in the violet hour
There are too many at this time
On your secluded street

If you could have my heart
You could have it all
If you could have my soul, I swear
In spring, wouldst be in fall
And in winter it would turn cold
Take my heart, as the trees hold the earth
Evergreen as the tempestuous sigh
As I write to thee, being unheard

You wrote me poems
Easy as the seas
When I read them the tears would follow
Your lines and my breaths
They mingled and turned my cheeks rouge
Your heart must be blue
Like the night sky
Such a deep hue comes when the love was true
My lines and your voice once followed

Now we sit
And search for a clue
In the stars
Pointing out the mistakes we made

I wake from this dream
I see butterflies appreciating the scheme of things
Going across the universe this is how we leave
Out with our solace, and the taste is bittersweet
When we left our home, for some other love
And life, and the haste of everyday people
Salamanders swimming hailing the giant houses
Effective waters, these will brim and crash with the shape
Of my dim light of survival, and the delight of shame and guilt
Sorrow, for the revived and convivial lives
Are you sure, we show enough for our actions
And disaster is what we show for our sins and inactivity?
Mistaking for being cautious, open with ourselves for the
The fire of the times, and the proclivity of the insane
And sanctimonious people looking at us in the good days, we die
Sane, we lively bunches will score the breadth of many oceans
Making our lives better with poorer dreams, relying on the same sins

Dreams are
Made of sorrowful
Days full of promise

Don't think twice
It's fine, and I'm alright
Sometimes, it's not so rough
To respond, and it's okay if you're in for a night
That I could live without for a while
It's much too strong, too see it through
Life has come to a new beginning
The stuff I'm made of and plastered on
Like a fool
It's like little locket of love
Locking me out of my own memories
You were once mine
And now know, the key to your heart
Is gone, for no one to respond
The lover's charm can open the door, once more
But, I guess it just takes your kiss, to pick up the phone

Make my life wonderful
Some meet we will too
When I repay the favour full
Such is my love toward your will too still
My laugh would walk to you
Leaving a smile everywhere
As far as the eye could gather
I'm misplaced like a case of butter on the larder
Or a butterfly in the corner
Like a moth drawn to the lantern
Many said let us take the light and find our way
As it grew darker behind, beginning of a new wage

The conditions of rights of the people
Some of you like, this is on the government
Are the open signs of poverty in a country

Love is great
Love is expensive
Because it isn't easy
To maintain
Like great treasure under blue depths of oceans

The road travels downward
It travels further
Just let the sunshine in
Summer's trying to touch your skin
Like the nights try to bring sleep
These days may leave behind us daydreams
But we know not what tomorrow brings
You can mock me in this circle game
If you are born an actor
You may die a loser
If you are born today
You may live to pay for the forgotten ones
I guess I am a loser
But, at least I wasn't born yesterday
I'm ahead in the race with promises
Sorrows that I don't lack
Tomorrow comes again allowing today

The pristine dream
Imprisoned
By hands and feet
These thoughts are the only reality

I read the newspaper
It was a habit
That was inculcated when I was a youngster
They said you could sell them as bundle
I got a couple of rocks
As I fit them in the trolley
Nobody noticed that I had tricked them
My mother reprimanded me
As I kept looking for a reprieve from hunger
Now I follow the world's footsteps and don't worry

Weighing my decisions
By my possessions
Coming to conclusions
About my pursuits
Of happiness

A balloon, the only thing
That flies without
Being misconstrued

Earning currency
With the doorknobs
Of a zillion webs

I looked into your eyes
Of gold
For a second chance
Like I kept digging

But, it turned into looking for a silver lining
Your heart had turned cold
The skies were I had to look

Searching for grey skies
I was bewildered by your rain
It drenched me and told me
Tears aren't enough

When I am
F
R
E
E
F
A

Remember I am always with you

Her sarcasm cuts like a knife
Her dress writes like a poetry
She tells me,"That poem is too long."
My poetry is no song that can make her breathe

Her wishes turn to acrid gestures
I'm at the end of her condescension
And I lose face within
I once thought my chagrin lost me

Well, she tells me time's on my side
I realize that I'd been taken for a ride
Saint Augustine knows me
He says treat her carefully

He tells me she is the siren of the east
Well, the visions of Urma
Show me a future of dignity
Present and past are just two points of a compass

When the relationship ends
You are left with no future
We fought so much
When the car broke down

We didn't talk that much
We just kept pushing and pushing
Until the love was lost
It startled me when my past haunted me
Kings and queens nurtured me in my sleep

Walls and alleys forged later
Clocks had stopped
Her beauty ignores me still
Her shadow follows her and is too dead to dream

Like one possessed I kept praying for us
No more lies
No more hiding as I chased her
One day we will refuse each other

Another compromise
They say beware of your pride and false hope
A thing that you say when you are in agony
Her steel eyes and gold heart will **** you

Make kindness a rare virtue
Sometimes she gets so ornery
I cannot hide that I am ordinary

I want to instead explore
As extraordinary free men do
Be free of your visions of failure and downfall
As I grow into the cocoon

Where the circadian rhythm of crickets are dead
The butterfly has no wings
And is only used or abused as metaphor
When the day comes

I will love you with the stories of a thousand starry nights

We sat in a road
Of cobble stone and rock
Our valise and car was locked
The road was pernicious
Our guide was impervious
To the wisp of winds
The shape or form got diffused as my friend
Went in once again
The rising breeze
Left no survivors
And took no cowards
So, I went in after him
Worry might have taken me first
That was the worst I'd seen of the cold
The night came in a blitz
As my friend walked further in a hail storm
The car was void of form now
When I looked back with feeling
There was a time
Warm supper was laid out
As winter eased out
Now I remember the lost time
It has gone away like a powerful rhyme
The further I walk
The more happiness runs away
Now I don't know really
What I should look for
Is it a picket fence from my house
Or is it the sound of crickets
If I can now make it
The rumors will be roughly true
They said I will always be alone
The bird overhead called out
I had once wondered
If the whistle of an eagle
Is louder than the hopeless blizzard
The gelid storm that went for hours
Death's cry is said to be namesake
As it called my name in my ear
Often wondering if I had moved it to the core
If I had the hoarded courage of a saviour
All I throughout, home was on my mind
God could see it
But, I couldn't
Because the war didn't leave survivors
But, it didn't take cowards
When winter thawed
The water called out to the birds
That had left the battlefield
Looking for peace
I remember
We sat on that road
Once before
And heard the same birds calling out
To us to stay on the road of life

Some of you ***** ******* writing how much you love love
The idea of losing someone close to your dreamworld is like cotton
Buds flying across the star-spangled banner or the loveless
You may think you love her
But, you can never be sure if it is love
Until you are willing to **** about and have the path of glory in the sight
If you wish the truth come to you, you need to have the inclination
So that when it ******* hits you, you are prepared
Do not cry, because tears are better in the rain
When writing in agonizing alliteration about the teary tumult of racing rain
Does it come close to your expectations of being famous, or would you *******
From the responsibilities meant for you, one night stands would ****
You for life without the garden and patio to sustain your *****-less nights
So, what's up morning sleepyhead, the story rises like soulful vibes?
With the ashes of coffee-like memories, you could journalize
Realize, the ashes were just the flame to rub you the wrong way
****, it might even be make-believe if you have your open shame
In love, *** and pain there is only two ways, and it's always leaving
And being with someone, without your rags to riches story, is impossible
Have a golden heart with the only motivation for tomorrow's set
Let today's act finish with the ovation of the many against you
In your dreams, they might be ******* you and the anger doesn't
******* up, like watching the sunset without your permission
The line cuts and you are all alone with an idea of you
Washed on the footprints of the sandy desolate beach, at home

I remember when, you and I
Had that breakfast, spread
Like a sunset on the Denang horizon, youthful
We lingered on the muddle of stormy nights

Through the glass windows, yellow fog
In the happier days
We talked of the army dog
Let me ask if laughing made it better for the crying black eyes

We talked of caged parrots around saw mills, behind bars
For all I know about you
That you serve sentences now
My hair must be growing thin under the human condition

And how should I decide?
How should I begin?
How can I continue?
Without your forgiveness?

Do I dare?
Or sit and stare?

Where the insane linger
They bite their nails
Twist the hair of their sagging *******
Soon, they will die and live at the same time

In another place and another time
They may be tossed papers of poems
If they exist or don't
It is just the same

Soon, they will breathe and be breathless
As the moon takes a vivacious scenery
Into azure skies and calls them midnight
The day will salvage the rest

The fear in their eyes
Will be calm as the lively sea
They shan't sigh
If they grow old, old, old as stone

They called it prying
It was a tragedy
That you didn't see it coming

In the room where you held us
As the messengers lead the young ones
Find your voice, that may scream

Old and new cannot screech as newborn ones
As a lover cannot trust or lose
Find your voice, be free and truthful

Where the man finds it easy
Let the sun burn them all

So, you must find your wife today
In the room that betrays you, the next day
As murmurs fade away

When the bell tolls, yesterday will be yesterday
As life changes, today will be today
For when the time comes, it will you and you only

Where the sun burns them all
The whispers will tell you, find your voice

Soon, the curls of the clouds will fall
Like a frail finger of beautiful new life
As tendril twists from the fingertips of a twig

Summer is easy, but, the winter is breezing
Let us dance as freely as the wheels of love
And fall down as soon as the rain calls us too

When the ground calls us
Let the sun burn them all

Whistles of a train, spray the sky like a raven
Humming its wings, unknowingly
Let the fields watch on as civilization leaves in a second

When, love leaves us in a fleeting second
Let the room die as soon as we are born
Let the truth prevail as soon as we die in this world

Say you want to be a fish
I will catch you
Like a falling Lord
If we are cruising like ships
The lilacs would bloom
Say our love is like stargazing
I pick you out
Among the most beautiful galaxies
Bewitched like angels and air
Wrecking heart be still like
Earth wind and fire
Often birds fly during evening
These are some things we watch
As we have time to lay supine
Next to the frescoes of Jesus and Mary
Underneath the belly of a Basilisk
Vehement protest comes from the hall
They told us love is forbidden
But, the last kiss moves earth
This world is not ours
At least we have shared poignant time
I'll believe you'll say I hate corny jokes

Weirdness
Laughs in her

As she is weird
As she can be

Odd isn't it,
Awkwardness

time keeps freezing
In my hands

My palms stay cold
Feeling the heat of the night
Of sensual calm

Time passes away
Awkwardness keeps the weirdness
Both say, "hey, beautiful."

There is a continuity
In this curated knowledge we have
Make the right conclusions
Live numbered days
Live long enough to make sense of the universe
The stars are what we strive for
Black holes or this definitive knowledge
Celestial order where there are both motions
And duality, where do we find the end of these processes
To the third stone from the Sun
Many of the phenomena that exist in this expanding astute universe
Will make your wildest imaginations seem tame

Sitting on the pew
Praying for warmth
Soon we will lose the evil breeze
That makes us lose the trees

As the homeless die and turn blue
Waiting for the train to salvation
Nature cries if you listen closely
"Peace is the last station"

The conductor calls
All aboard on Train 6 at 6 past 6

If you think you have
Hurt someone
Remember, people
Never realize the difference
Those who do
Are the ones who have been heartbroken

I can't think anymore
I don't want to spend my words
I love writing your face
In a prose of roses for your heart

Under the heat of the sun
I love drawing my hands
On the silhouette of your face
I presume how your hair floats

I can't keep writing
I need you beside me
So the bed leaves an impression
The weight of expectation dies on me

I can't live without inspiration
I need your words and admiration
Not my images of love
I am left with ashes of lust

Instead of making love to you
I make poetry out of you

The way I look at it
You can either
Accept your fate
Learn from destiny

If it is difficult
To find the two
In the long run
Then, life is a long stretch

Look at the present
Instead of the past and
Predicting the future
Expecting everything will be new

The nicest memories
You have are often subject to the
Worst experiences that require bringing about that transcendental belief
If you are stuck with your possessions, for example
So what, love is like it is
It is turbulent and the objects are closer than they appear
If your love seems far away, be silent when you have to prove it
