"deliquesced" poems
The sun must have reached low to prepare
our paths, as we walked those grandeur
streets, how it simmered the wind mild
and warm, to embrace the moment as its child;
how it forged halos around your cheeks
as you smiled, painting heaven on those peaks
& august bloomed in the lake, where my hand
kissed your fluttering feet—I felt it expand
till it was too leaden for my palms, and it drained
away into a moment in time, but you remained,
steeped in memories & my deliquesced heart
whose tides would fail to let you sail apart.

Make love to me by moonlight
Let its beams caress your breast
Its darkness pulls your waters
Drawing in the welcome guest—
Who within dances so sweetly
As from moonbeams deliquesced
Electrifying darkness
With your sweet love mad possessed
And the moonbeams turn us silver
As they dip into the west
And another god shines down on us—
We know that we are blessed.

time
was purely a four-letter concept with you
you made hours alone
discussing the universe and its secrets
feel like fleeting minutes
a year passed by
in an ephemeral glance
reality completely deliquesced
with the touch of your lips
and your love was marked as transitory
...but those eyes were infinite

It was
One of our
Childhood habits
To crumple
The wax melting in front of St.Antony
And make new candles.
The tapers of
Thresya whose house got mortgaged, and
Selina whose wedding never got fixed, and
Anthappan who mourned his lack of offspring, and
Thankamma whose chickens died of infectious bronchitis
Stood and liquefied for us in those days.
Math test, pimple,
Cancer, wedding,
Death, visa, love,
Lost hundred rupee note,
Why, even missed periods,
Hair graying too early,
All these daily deliquesced for us
Day after day.
What did the new candle
We lighted in those days
Melt for?
We cannot see a thing
In its light now!

"Unprepared I wondered into her burrow,
My endeavors were useless as her beauty,
Plod into my conscience,
Aghast at what in your beauty I might find,
I couldn’t resist in going and touching her near,
If she were to resist what would I do in interim,
The closer I had gotten the more she toiled my soul,
It is as if I had entered a dream and wit not to awake,
Than finally adjacent deliquesced in each other’s embrace,
Free from iniquity I gave myself deluded to her,
An archipelago had opened before with her tenderness.
No longer live in dark places as she has brightened all,
Illuminating my soul with each one of her embraces,
A heart once cold and cruor with such from melancholy,
My only assuagement bad anamnesis gone from mind
For she comes to me in a mystifying incognizant way”

The spaces that lie in between ***
Heavy like the ghost between us
Haunting the skin of deliquesced nights,
And the noon of thought.
We awaken in serried falls,
The veil of dusk melting in between my thighs,
And the sin of your tapered thoughts,
Hastening the arrival of starry white lies,
And night’s black spell of seclusion.
Bring your husked limbs toward me,
And seep into my bones under the shadows.
Turn off the lights in me
In the dead of night
And the noon of thought.
An eclipsed silence leaks in between ***
Unexchanged like the words between us.
