the nakedness of your secret
must never face the eyes of the unconcerned
sometimes it is slippery but the onus is on you
to hide and tightly lock it far inside your heart!


once it flies outside the gate of the prison
prepare to lie on the bed of shame
covering yourself with a blanket
of worries and sleepless nights!
always keep your mouth shut!
secrets must be tightly guarded
Even the slightest vibration
of your galaxy surrounding me
made me want to burst into flames
my moans rising in ecstatic degrees
the uncontrollable sweat
filling my sizzling flesh
unraveling my imagination
touching me deep in the spots
that made my world spark
like a lightning rod

basil
sticks and stones
will break bones
and a knee will take a life

tear gas and barricades
will need first aids
and rubber bullets will take eyes

signs and chants
dismissed as rants
and a point that will keep being missed
justice is not just a word.

Once I fell in love
But now I've got up
I don't know-how
But I came out, yup!
She hacked my heart
And entered its part
But I know do not
From where did it start
Before becoming a friend
My story of love did end
Heart of mine, got a deep sore
But it's now time, to rise up and soar
"But it's now time, to rise up and soar"
They told me to stay cool
And I bought a litre of ice-cream and ate it up
Wasn't that really cool?
She was a cute little fairy
Beautifully blonde and hairy
She came from some other nation
Which was merely my imagination

I greeted her with a 'hi'
But the reply that came was 'bye'
Hence I came to a conclusion
For me, love exists not, even in an illusion

Shadow
It is Dusk and my time has come.
The sky takes a pinkish hue,
The cool breeze begins its departure,
And the trees wave it goodbye.

Dusk has come, My time has come.
With it, it brings the black blanket,
That covers the immense sky,
The sun leaves with tears,
And the moon replaces her,
The stars begin to appear,
And I think of her with me; here.

Dusk has come, My time is now.
The flowers begin to close,
And the clouds cover the sky,
The seas begin to reflect her,
The lonely breeze sings of her,
The crickets cry her name.

Yes, Dusk is now!
Sadness is now
Despair is now
Woe is now
Sorrow is now...

My Dusk has come,
And my soul wants to break out,
And disappear into the night,
Into the dark clouds above,
To run into the rain,
Out of the forests of my pain.

Dusk has come...
If this piece be my final one
Please forgive me for the things I've done
Be happy and live in glee
For goodbyes will set you free

basil
i spit out
the words
you put in my mouth
so you feel
okay

but the taste
of rot
and rust
still remains
on my
tongue
