It was akin.
I want to stay quiet.
Everyone speaks truth
of everybody. Except me. I tell lie
about myself.

Don't look at others.
You will betray yourself. You
have two minds. One for dying
and other to live in rose garden.

No family beside me.
Wordless pains rise. Sometimes
you want to go mad. Thinking
more thinking.

What was the unsung
story of deathless stranger?
Mates, I **** the dreams again.

What you heard was
not true. I am writing my will
after you lost charisma.

I am dying daily, after
reading the smoke signals
coming out of your book.

Can you sing the
ghazal of Ghalib. How will you
agree when you don't agree?

Where do I go now?
Sky is burning and larks are
invoking unheard screams.

In crisis you bow out.
I want to stop breaking of hearts.
O colossus violence is rising.

On the wall sits buddha.
Buddha in prayer. He wants to make
peace. I dream to commit suicide.

Let me do, what I want
to do. Lights on street are gone
and I have to meet my last hope.

Don't bring any wealth
before my eyes. I become blind. Will
not be able to read god's verdict.

Where has gone my
universal pain? I want to walk
in burning woods to final seeds.

Who wrote your name
on the tongue of time? I am not
able to stop the clock.

God, I will never
understand you. What happened
when you were present everywhere?

I ask my lips not to
move. Nobody would know
when you can synchronize?

Supermoon was coming
nearer to earth. I made you a
killer. Look inside, you got more.

Stung by a wasp.
I want to live like a hermit.
Nothing was left to say.

A large hole *****
humanity. I walk alone to meet
my destiny in ring of fire.

I am rolling down,
down, in dream, thinking of
you pulling a thorn.

A butterfly flirts.
You find shelter in pain. The
power wants to celebrate the dark.

The hands tell your
anxiety. They tremble while
holding a pen writing a name.
