आजाव आप कभी फरियाद लेके
पायल छन्काके चुडीया गीत सुनाके ——२
दिदार करु आपका मे भरि मनसे
देखकर सरमाए लो व देखनेवाले

इस पलका आपको भी चाहत होगी मनमे
राँहाँे ढुड्ता हुए थक्ती होगी निगाहेँ
मनमे पुछनेको होगी हजार सवाले
देर नकरो, सिम्टादो अब ए सफर

आजाव आप कभी फरियाद लेके
पायल छन्काके चुडीया गीत सुनाके
खामोस चेहरा आपका सरमाना मन्जुर नही
महोबत दिलमे हा तो खुुलाना जरुरी नही

आजाव आप कभी फरियाद लेके
साथी होडगे बहुत लेकिन चल्ना फिर्ना छोड्दोगे
साथ हमारी पाकर खाब सजाना भूलदोगे

आजाव आप कभी फरियाद लेके
बोल सक्ते लोग चाहे मनगडी बातेँ
रोक्ना मत चाल, आप बीच राँहोमे
आजाव आप कभी फरियाद लेके
पायल छन्काके चुडीया गीत सुनाके ——३

Theme: Appeal
George Krokos Dec 2018
It’s said that ‘a change is as good as a holiday’
though a holiday might be better than a change.
This depends really on one’s attitude some say
or what appeals to the person who is to arrange.

echoes fall on my skin
like ripples of fear
a lonely gaze toward pattern
ignores the warmth behind my eyes
I trace the veins of my hand
rolling bones and tendons
a feeling of solace
the sound of my own breaking
under pressure I caused

a lilac touches the nape of my neck
soft and forgiving
a grace I do not grant myself
serenity found in chills
interrupting ripples
disturbing the disturbance

Nay, despite failing to make the grade,

Embracing premonition making me mincemeat

The old cashier at the car dealership,
she chain-smoked skinny, long cigarettes
all day, every day.
Her voice sounded like a bullfrog
that recently learned how to curse and laugh.
The crease lines around her mouth
and the folds in her neck
conveyed a relaxed style, confidence
earned from a hard life
and dangerous choices.

Sometimes there were no customers
in front of the cashier’s window
and no mechanics busting her chops.
That's when she’d rest her elbows on the counter
and cradle a skinny cigarette
between ******* near her cheek.
That woman’s eyes would gaze outside,
glossed over in what looked like daydreams
about all those lovers, in their graves,
and their cliché widows
with their tiresome grandchildren
and their sanitized lives.

Back in the day,
men in gray suits and skinny ties
never could resist her,
but then again,
so few ever tried.

A young woman stands on the sidewalk
in front of a vape shop.
Her long red hair is the dream
of desperate men
that flutters in the cool spring breeze.
She fiddles with her smartphone,
her thumb quickly scrolls screens
in an attempt to fight boredom.
She's waiting, waiting, waiting
for her next adventure,
but those skin tight yoga pants
and her filthy sneakers tell me
she has a long wait.

I sit there like a balloon, fit to burst,
and no one even turns their head.
I've been pushed, and pushed, and pushed and pushed andI'mjustsogoddamntiredofitallandIjustwanttoscream.
How can they not have noticed?
I mean, it's not like I'm trying to hide it,
I'm long past that.
Do I really mean that little to them that they never noticed me before?
Have I always looked as depressed on the outside as I am on the inside?
I know they care - I know they do.
I just need them to notice me for once.
notice me when I need them most.

I don't know what will set me off,
or how explosive I'll be when it does;
Once I start, I'm never really sure that I can stop.
Will it be the picture of upset, my hands linked behind my head, legs drawn close, unable to stop the tears from spilling out of my painfully red eyes - uncontrollable sadness.
Or will it be screaming anxiety, my claws finding their usual tearing spots in my scalp, my body trembling with the effort of not screaming at the top of my lungs and falling to literal pieces on the polished floors.
Or will it be like last-time; small, silent self-pitying.
unnoticeable.
The kind that come out of no-where and takes you by surprise, that you cant do anything about or someone will see, the kind that you hide with your hands whilst pretending that you're getting on with your work and not wishing that you were dead.

you never know with me - it's just one of the many flaws of my mind.
so please - please - just notice me now.
When I'm in the worst place I could be in, the people I need the most never seem to notice.
With four legs
I am able to stand
But if they break like eggs
I will not work as planned
As I wobble on three, two or even one
Nothing can be placed on me
For my job will be done
Because my legs are the key
Without them I am nothing
I have no use except maybe for scraps
Believe me I’m not bluffing
Eventually I will collapse
And on that day
I know not what I’ll feel
Freedom or dismay
But that day holds strange appeal
kind of showing the way we may feel, if we're not needed
we might feel freed while others may feel like they have no purpose
I guess until that day - that does hold a weird appeal
we'll never know
