manya
whenever I see you
I feel you on my skin
Memories come sliding
Of what we have been


Now your lovely stranger
Knows the way you taste
All memories are forgotten
But yours is somewhere cased


This inquisition I hold in me
To search for myself
And for the world to see


Now I stand distant
Let the feelings sag
Ha! Eilish sings her own
"isn't it lovely, all alone".

Laying down on the ground
I inhale the fragrance of the night.

Lost in the stare of the shining orb
surrounded by twinkling stars it was.

Ignoring the sense of transience in the air
It shines with beauty and flair.

The peaceful cricket sounds seep into my soul,calming the storm within.

The gentle breeze causing the trees to sway from side to side, rustling the fallen leaves of the day.

I inhale and exhale whilst admiring the scenery.

Slowly,I fade into unconsciousness as the tune of the night time lulls me to sleep.

Sacchie..

Put to rest,in the fog of war
you once promised me infinity

Only a memory
not but a stolen kiss

You once promised me forever
not but an unrequited love

Only a memory
why?

Not even a goodbye
maybe one day...

Sacchie...
She drapes her beauty
over a gossamer sleeve

breathes music box melody

through the spindles of dreams

elopes with the stars

and whispers
lavish possibilities

through a cauldron of clouds

she, the whimsy,
midnight Blues fantasy

seeped in gin
drizzled over
my sins

she is madness
and meaning

commingled in
pearlescent
glow
I was inspired by John Destalo's style in "Scavenger" and Patty and Gideon's homage to the Blues and the beautifully soft phrase "cauldron of clouds" in Shamamama's "Sleepless."  The phrase bewitched me.
_True feelings☘
Never dies☘

It gives all the happiness☘
Without any means☘

sorrow and pain☘
Are likes heaven☘

Distance and separation☘
Makes it stronger than mountain☘
True feelings are like second heaven
like peace and love
t heir is no separation,
Distances makes it stronger than mountain.

गणीत में बड़ा कच्चा है तू,
मेरी प्यार की गहराई को कभी नाप ही ना पाया।

I want this to be
the last poem that I've written
while I'm sipping on my tea
after everything's been eaten

after everything has been digested
then gone to my mid-section
after every recipe been tested
and cooked to perfection

but now the dishes are all stacked
and empty is the fridge
I'm ready waiting fully packed
crossing my life's bridge

so let me slowly sip my tea
and let me out loud slurp
this poem i will want to be
worth a one last burp
