#parasitic
Web hanging from above
Engulfing you in my nest of complexities
It's clear to me
You're dear to me
But instinct drives me to chase
You away, in a way,
Where I eat you whole, my love
You wont come back
From the legs that hang over your neck
Noose of obsession got me holding you close
Till you come undone, loose, in my arms
Promising you out of harms way,
Involuntarily, stay-ing in my grasp
Biting your head off before you may
Release, a gasp
Of relief, as I've finally shown you my love

I kiss the lips of nicotine instead of kissing you
You showed no signs of leaving, and yet you broke me too
When I held you I hoped to hold everything you wanted forgotten
Her biting words, your dad's drink, and expectations you carefully walked on
I wanted to pull and threaten every sob that left your lungs
With the kisses that I peppered down your jaw when we hugged
But your eyes made me cry like Jesus in Gethsemane
What a color of many colors, those retinas held felicity
You pressed your forehead on mine and bridges of noses brushed
You sang the radio lyrics and between words, kisses hushed
I feel so parasitic, so pathetic, so paralytic
How can I never hold you again? To only look for mere mimic

No human enters this Earth born to serve,
to slave, to suffer, to scramble desperately
away from fire, from threats that mutated
all too rapidly into a guarantee coupled with existence.
No human enters this Earth born to survive,
to brave, to withstand, to endure grievously
through oxygen-starved blood, blockaded lungs
wrapped in wine bruises concealed from all.
No human enters this Earth born to be subservient,
to be exploited, to be depleted, to be drained relentlessly
until heart and eyes and chest become an aching hollow
and there is nothing left for the parasites to devour.

While passing from the roads I take daily,
I noticed a mycorrhiza on a tree.
Wrapped on the sweaty hands of the tall,
Entangled into each other.
I heard them whispering
"I love you",
" I love you too",
and I saw the little plantae
embracing very leaf of the tall,
kissing every inch.
It was symbiotic, I believed.
too symbiotic to be separated.
I took four steps closer,
and I noticed it was a cascuta on the tree.
Engulfing the sweaty hands of the tall,
climbing onto the top of the other,
I heard them whispering again,
"I love you",
" I want you",
I saw the little plantae
suffocating every leaf of the tall,
******* and tearing every inch.
It was parasitic, I knew.
Too parasitic to be together.

Asked to be safe, to be calm,
with the suction-pores of each palm.
Lips in twist with skin so sour,
drawing blood to drown a flower.
Pulling back, to study faces,
shaking out of sure embraces,
her heels kicked out
and her face soon followed,
and what she left,
I chewed and swallowed.

What if
all the species
on earth except humans
Got united and attacked us:-
For being so stupid and inhuman
For being so idiotic to destroy
our own common place of living ..
For mining our own resources
to the bottom so that nothing is left for future..
even for our future generations..
For being so cannibalistic,
for being in war, for being parasitic,
for killing our own species..
In the name of religion, caste, colour and creed
That big nations manufacture weapons
To be sold to terrorists
To **** its own people?
And then hunt the so called terrorists
Which are their own making?
What if there were no religions?
What if there were no castes?
What if there were no Gods?
What if there were no fights?
What if if there were no wars?
What if there was only peace?

*Don't try to ask me why
just think of it as my final goodbye*
*It means you are no longer needed
you did your part
and I think you did great*
