This heaviness, a stone in the chest,
a brooding passion flower,
fully at bloom, at moonlit night-
emits the distinct scent
of the tormentor of my heart,
an intoxicating accent it exudes--
which cages my mind.
Lust is its subtext.

Lungs are bottled up
with a mix of her pheromones,
signature perfume and the musky
scent of her sweat,
If a girl, with that intensity
gets in to the system, mixes in blood,
it's excruciating pain, is a bane,
and an insane ecstatic bliss, same time!
This isn't animal instinct, I know,
didn't she bare her mind though on the sly,
in words that has many facets, like a diamond?

No, still not sure, feels like an idiot,
(Wasn't she quite an artist,
playing with my heart?
But I am totally her's, can't help it,
from those moments,
which refuses to leave me in peace)

A longing that won't
let me take her off
from  my mind's GPS.
Oh! now, shut both eyes and imagine
her undress in slow moves,
her lush, chiselled form, sends me
waves of fragance,
I am on the verge of collapse...

Then-
suddenly the phone rings,
she complains
a heaviness of heart,
***** thoughts that-
refuse to go to sleep.
"What would you do for this?"
she  anxiously whispers,
"Hey, you are the only doctor,
I can lay my hands on,
to keep this malady at bay,
I badly need you near here,
**Is it true?
Am I falling in love with you?"

glaciers rested here
then chose to stay
melted into the ground
from which stalks sprouted
I am

pioneer of the elementary school prairie
conqueror of the long highways
that stretch from flat horizon

I am

Partition’s land
born on the right side
border still bathed in the blood
of those born in the wrong
He is

and spider-web trees
longing for his land
visitor of Swat
disparaging long lost tranquility
uprooted, exiled
frequenter of south asian sweets houses

Walking around town
Feet achin'
Breath seen by all who may still be awake
The sun has taken its slumber
But he shall not
For he is cursed to walk the night
Unable to sleep
Unable to dream
Doomed eternally
For he is The Insomniac
Slumber eludes him
The night is his time
His time to shine
To be the sun in the night
For he is The Insomniac

My heart
Will be yours
The day i can hold you
Thats what i tell myself
I fear it will be before
I love that it may be before
You are so perfect
You are so sweet
You are so...
Undescribable
My feelings i can not fight
You are so amazing
I never know what to expect from you
Every day a new thing learned
As it should be
So many messages between us
So many more to come
The smile upon my face
As i see it is you messaging
Knowing you smile when you see its me
Could this be?
Can this be?
One day we will know
One day

He is after us
We cant get away
We think we do
But he shows back up
He gets hit by a car
Gets up
Unscathed
Chasing us
He wants us dead
We want him dead
Cold steel enters my skin
Nice try
Not deep enough
I steal the knife
Living autopsy
Slice
I cut right down his sternum
Splash
****** fluids hit my face
Stomach acid
Bile
Blood
We run away
He gets up
Unscathed
Who is this man?
What does he want?
I am not dying today
She is not dying today
Another man shows up
Help has arrived
He pours water in my hair
Splash it on them
"The power of christ compells you"
He is weakened
Living autopsy yet again
I pour the water in him
He has been defeated
She is safe
I am alive
All are happy
I wake up

why everybody wants to be treated like child all his age
why they want freedom in a cage
there is fear of growing because of conflict of interest
is maturity knowing your interest and protect it best
but in love you have to let go your interest for someone
yet people say in love i am interested in someone
it is very difficult to forget your identity and difficult to fall in love
BECAUSE LOVE STARTS WHEN TWO OF YOU ARE ONE

steel tulips
one misconstrued word  slips,

from his naive yet wise lips

she can feel  hell's heat upon her face

 her  blood pressure rises at a horrible pace,

boiling now;

she wants to be loved but has never known how

heart beats wildly

unsteadily;

she  trembles in a kind of pain

that cannot be pitied or explained

she opens her mouth to scream

but her raw lips can hardly breathe

too consumed in this fury to move

has lost all things to prove

she just sits there,

hunched into an emotionless ball

jaw and fists clenched

knuckles white

her tired neck tight

who ever takes the useless victory

will come home to an empty bed

both will loose it in the end

both will lose a lover,

and a friend
