"frigging" poems
Dead in the center of her heart I found a minotaur. Of all things a frigging minotaur. I stood puzzled as we locked eyes. When I stumbled upon him he was sleep with today's newspaper drenched across his lap. He bounced up in full guard. Me being me I asked him for simple directions. Telling him that I thought I was lost. I planned on seeing heart shapes maybe a butterfly or two. A big bunny shape thing or two but you, just wow. He grinned slightly and said yeah that's the first time I've heard that one. One step further, I added. I take it from the amount of drool on the side of your lip you've been sleep for quite a while. Now I don't mean to intrude on your guarding the labyrinth thing but, How about you let me *** a smoke and we'll talk about it at the nearest dinner. After all who can be mad over breakfast

Breakfast With A Minotaur
You broke my heart And threw it in a pile of dirt I have no enemies However, worse are you, than an enemy Because, betrayal leaves scars Which are even bigger than cars And take as much time to heal As it does, to complete a CA course Which is of course, a huge deal! You broke my heart And caused me a lot of hurt Truly did I care for you, you know Thus, was it a massive blow When we came to know the truth Which destroyed the earth On which my love was built Since, loyal was I, to a fault You broke my heart And turned it into a shopping cart You took advantage of my compassion And used it as ammunition For your deceitful modus operandi However, thanks to the rescue operations Led by my best friend and my sister We put an end to the matter However, rather protracted and tedious Was the divorce process And ultimately richer did you get, by a frigging four lakhs For absolutely no fault of ours!! You broke my heart And ensured I nearly fell apart However, healing am I Slowly but surely Thanks to my dear family As well as my circle of friends Not to mention, a few close cousins All of whom ensure, I suffer not, for your sins Our relationship may have had a bitter end However, I am now free And no longer, will I carry The burden of a relationship Which, in hindsight, was always going to be doomed Even without all the cheating and manipulation Of course, I may have to apply some caution When it cometh to future relationships However, I now understand the value of friendship Better than ever!! You broke my heart However, I am making a conscious effort To put all this behind With the help of family, cousins and friends As well as therapy Of course, not always am I happy But I am healing for sure This experience having ensured That I am working harder than ever And allowing myself to be bored, never I repeat, you broke my heart However, you have made me more alert I am now stronger than ever And will allow myself to be cheated, never What you did proved to be a blessing in disguise Because, it has made me wise And just a matter of time is it Before my broken heart eventually heals!!

Don’t talk to me, I’m not in the mood I’m tired, I feel sick, I have gone off my food I have got heart burn, piles and I’ve got a sore back Don’t argue with me, I won’t cut you any slack I have got big, black bags, under my eyes I look like I have eaten to many pies I have stretchmarks, I look like a frigging map The baby kicks me in the ribs when I'm trying to take a nap I'm forever hot, I forever sweat My ******* leak, my tops always wet When I walk, I puff and I pant I can’t wait to have this baby, I hate being Pregnant

The Joys Of Being Pregnant
I finally figured a piece that could fit Decent enough to mention That gets deeper with each visit And though it wasn't my intention We invented vivid scriptures Shakespeare would weep to Crackheads could sleep to That's just the calm of absolution as it creeps through We never needed a deity's forgiveness or god to bear witness To this **** that we do behind closed doors cause in these moments I'm finally yours And that's all that should matter

Shakespeare Frigging Wept.
I don't know. I'm sad and I'm mad about being so sad. Because I know life isn't so bad, and I'm trying to add more of the happiness I've previously had and I'm so dang glad I mean, I can see the blessings I have. But no matter how bad I want to not be sad or how hard I try... I still sit here with tears in my eyes and I'll tell you "I'm fine." And you know it's a lie; I'm holding on for dear life. I am tired and the fire in my eyes? Along with my cloudy heart, and the cloudy skies; those flames are dimming going out with the city lights in the middle of the night Like if I just hide and take some time to get things right The despair will somehow dissapear from my mind. Maybe if I try being kind to myself ...and my heart and my mind I will be fine sometime.

Depression frigging *****
The intimate mountain-- Weekends in a mercury supermarket-- And the nearly vindictive lilt in Your voice when you drop the Last 'T' in restaurant! Perhaps for just a few months We might dispense with the honorifics, Because we each know perfectly Well your finger-ring has a smile For no one but me. The first autumn was always impossible for me (or at least it will be). Winds winding like a clarinet-- A boulangerie cover of Dies Irae. Now where have I misplaced my Sensory glands? Charles Walks an intricately awkward emphasis In ungodly, Strangely comfortable stilettos. The emcee has no frigging Idea what the people want to hear anymore. His serape and his wine-- Not to mention his women, Although I have just now. Poor little frog. It looses owners off its skin Like tadpole-seeds, over A game of backgammon That never really cheats anybody. The abandoned LiveJournal account. The forgotten Myspace passwords. The iPod that hasn't been updated in years. The body slumped on a threadbare sofa. The broken earbuds and busted eardrums. Start spreading the news: I've already left. Go and empty the pews; My mother bereft. And the Chamber of Commerce wants to blame the ****** on me.

I have been yearning for true love For years and years For decades and decades I have seen it in movies I have read it in books But to experience it in real life Is a different feeling altogether Of course, when you have lived For as long as thirty two years It is utterly impossible Not to fall in love At least once, or maybe even twice And I am not even counting crushes They are as ephemeral As the life of a mayfly is The love bug has bitten me twice However, on both occasions The love has been more lop-sided Than the recent Men's Ashes On the first occasion I was slower than a snail By the time I finally confessed my feelings The girl was already engaged On the second occasion It was an arranged marriage After two initial meetings Followed by two months Full of frequent phone calls We had a rather simple engagement Since then, it was apparent That the going was smooth Even if it was a long-distance relationship However, just before the wedding The pandemic chose to strike The marriage had to be postponed By five frigging months Consequently, things were never the same again Mind you, I was very much in love But, as I mentioned earlier It was a long-distance relationship And I could sense That slowly, but surely The girl was beginning to fade away And the marriage, when it eventually happened Was an absolute trainwreck Now, a year and a half later I am single again And the quest for true love continues This time, I hope and pray That when I do fall in love again It will be duly reciprocated And will be as long-lasting As the love That my family has for me

How on Earth was i supposed to get through this So, I stayed Put on my daily show but you knew me too well to fall for that facade And that's whAT hurt most **the warmth in your eyes that once felt like home sheltering me from world's cold ways was now gone replaced replaced by this coldness** *Your skin was the only home i ever knew but i realized, i was not welcome any more* And I relized that that hardest way possible yet i stayed 'cause i just could not leave I did not know how to leave I loved you so frigging much and everything just kept getting worse YOU WERE NO LONGER THE SUN but a blackhole swallowing all the good memories devouring them all till there was not a trace of light inside me till there was nothing left to me till i became the ghost of the girl who i used to be And all those good days they seem like a distant dream and i don't even know if what i'm writing makes any sense my hands won't stop shaking or my head shouting it keeps yelling YOU NEVER FELL FOR ME YOU SLIPPED UNKNOWINGLY A MISTAKE'YOU REGRET EVERY DAY

A pensioner's long walk today, Yes, the mailman's been, no yah! What bills did arrive this way? Postman, postman, stay away, I am putting up a sign, "BAN THE BILLS!' about frigging time! If all bill payers went on strike, Bills would go down, not upwards hike, Yes, it's that dreaded long walk again, Should I throw the bills down the drain? A gutter too far, or in the bin? Bringing us bills is the postman's great sin, Can't afford that, can't afford that, "I'll shoot you, postman, now don't come back!" Is shooting postmen a capital offence? "BAN THE BILLS!" on everyone's fence!

THE LETTERBOX
When you wrote a short poem, you were in the mood for a quickie. Meant you had no patience for me and didn't want my attention. You got a short attention span, lack of patience and you hurl insults. Wish you really loved me like I loved you, what you love is money. Felt dead for years and missed the sweet you that went slow making love. You lost interest when I lost my job for a few months, you hurled loser. You did not want to be tied to a frigging loser, died inside dozens of times. My heart ache was his gain, you met your lover boy in the stables. Tried like hell to keep you happy, you did not want that from me. You only wanted it from him, he had a good job but not like me. I can't get back what I felt for you once you hurled insults at me. You got dollar signs for eyes and money centered.

Does expectation ever stop? When you are at school You are expected to get good marks In all the subjects Your life is decided By your ability to memorise things You are compared with others Your cousins, your neighbours Your friends, your classmates All the time You, as an individual Are reduced to a mere shadow Does expectation ever stop? When you are at college You are expected to achieve a high CGPA Never mind the fact That not getting arrears Is practically an achievement Especially as far as engineering is concerned And if you happen to fail People speak in whispers or hushed voices When referring to you And when you graduate But fail to land a placement You are seen as "that jobless guy" And your character traits, whether good or bad Turn out to be immaterial In the mad race for status Does expectation ever stop? When you are a working professional You are constantly asked about your salary And it is compared With that of every frigging relation of yours Whether close or distant Not to mention, neighbours And their families as well Does expectation ever stop? When you are single People constantly bring up marriage As though it is something That any decent human being must go through And when you are married Your wife also becomes a victim Of all these crazy expectations And you, as a couple Are also compared to other couples Does expectation ever stop? When you get divorced People keep poking and prying Until they finally manage to extract from you All the juicy details But these vultures don't stop at that They also want to know When will your next marriage be Your freedom means absolutely nothing to them Does expectation ever stop? When you are overweight You are constantly advised To go to the gym Go for morning or evening walks And again you are compared With everyone who is slimmer than you In the entire neighbourhood Does expectation ever stop? Being a good person is not enough Having a good job is not enough Earning a decent salary is not enough Having a good family is not enough In fact, nothing is ever enough You practically need to become God In order to satisfy the expectations Of our ultra-greedy society A society that never stops expecting Until you are dead Seriously, does expectation ever stop?

Would I still be me If I did not have These fancy words to bleed I'm the pebbles in my pocket That keeps me drowning Farther into depth I'm the frigging rescue boat too And I'm yet learning how to deal with that I like to sit and watch The world Never bothering to participate I like to live in my past And wish on the stars That are long dead would I still be me If I did not have these fancy words to bleed I'm the only cloud in my own sky Blotting a perfect view. I'm the blazing sun too. And I'm trying to learn how To take responsibility If It rains down on me I like to dodge away All these sad incidences I turn them into art, When they hit me I like to use my words To guide me out of my own head; It's the only time i make sense to myself Would I still be me If I did not have these fancy words to bleed? I'm the lonely dandelion Having myself blown away To the ten directions I'm the wind too Challenging everything that Gets in my way I like to look at the trees I like to have the wind whisper my name I would like to be you I would like to be him Without ever losing the essence Of my true self Would I still be me If I did not have these fancy words to bleed

Tuesday Weld was a frigger She was friggin' everywhere and Everywhere she went, she frigged As a matter of fact There wasn't a day that went by In which Tuesday wouldn't frig She frigged at the supermarket She would frig at the mall She frigged at the movies She frigged at the gas-pump She was caught frigging at the dentist She even frigged down the shore All her twenty-seven siblings Worked the local house of ill-repute It had a bar inside of it And was Whorethorne's best kept secret Even the police would get laid there (on Tuesdays) Finally, the townspeople of Whorethorne Could not take it anymore And they burnt down The Barn Then, just like Tuesday They too Went frigging nuts

LEG STUMP SHOW.
That rather awkward moment When you try to find a rhyme So you bend over backward Trying to keep time And it ends up sounding forced Even slightly trite Like you literally sat there All frigging night And sweated and banged Your head on a wall Trying to come up with Anything at all That would sound like a rhyme Because you are a poet And you've written before Though no one would know it . . . There is such a thing As a poem with no rhyme It's called free-verse, ******* -   You should try it sometime.

Sylvia, don't cry.   Come and sleep next to me in this grassy field. Our knees touching like two knobby parentheses cupping words whispered between us at 3 am. Vulnerable. Venerable. My dearest sister in arms. And if it makes you happy we could talk about literature and Gods and good art and tea and faithless fathers and lovers. Sylvia,  don't cry. Scream at me if it makes things okay. Curse at the yellow moon hanging in the starless sky like a gold pendulum. Break all the mirrors and wall clocks. But don't run after a train that has already left that foggy station. Sylvia, don't cry. Stop scraping the answers to your sorrows off that crusty oven floor. Go, open the kitchen window. Sylvia, don't cry. Next time the phone rings during dinner Rip out the ******* cord And choke that soulless ******* Sylvia, don't cry. Find a ladder and climb the frigging tree Stuff your mouth with purple figs until your belly aches. Don't wait for them to fall on the ground. Keep eating. Sylvia, don't cry. Slice their throats with your cursive knives When men say that a girl poet must bleed on the quill she writes with. Smear your cheeks with their blood. Battle paint. My brave Amazonian. Sylvia, don't cry. I know at times it feels as if your spirit is trying to climb its way out of your own body Stop swallowing stones to weigh it down. Hold my hand. It'll get better, I promise.

I'm gonna puke on the mirror or on the street puddle or if I could, on my own frigging eyes. All that reflects. I'm gonna puke on the atmosphere or on the clear window or if I could, on my own foul heart. Why isn't it raining hard? The clouds aren't afraid of me? On them I'm also gonna puke.

Quickly now I take him out To the Front patch of lawn Now frigging covered in freezing snow The early morning storm, winter-silent The sky thick-grey with flurrying Falling snow **** It's really coming down Hard To believe, almost apocalyptic Snow in Sin City!

Failure hurts, no doubt Especially when you are in Recruitment A profession which depends on people As much as India used to depend on Sachin Tendulkar In the late nineties But you know what hurts more than failure? Imagine a T20 match Where your team has dominated From start to finish And still managed to end up on the losing side Due to a couple of bad ***** From your best bowler In the very last over Now, apply the same analogy to Recruitment You have put your heart and soul Into a particular mandate Done a thorough search, through various portals Called up as many candidates as possible Presented quality profiles to the client And lined up interviews one after the other Everything has been worked out To the tiniest detail However, at the eleventh hour The candidate backs out Thus, you have no choice But to start all over again And this happens not once Not twice Not even thrice But a frigging four times However, you are no ordinary recruiter You are a recruiter who possesses the heart of a lion Thus, you prepare yourself for the long haul Determined to do whatever it takes To close this mandate, once and for all And your efforts do pay off Or at least, they seem to For the client, it is a choice Between two worthy candidates However, as always, there is a hitch One of the candidates has started showing signs of cold feet While the other has to take a pay cut That too a big one This mandate now hangs on a knife-edge So, it is not failure that hurts the most But coming within an inch of success After months of hard work Only to have it slip through your fingers At the very last minute

What Hurts More Than Failure?

Someone's staring at me right now here on this subway. His eyes have not left mine. He looks crazy and nervous, a young guy, a twitchy-looking young guy. I have a feeling he's going to jump me or rob me, maybe shoot me or stab me. He's probably looking for money for a fix. He's going to follow me off this frigging subway car and then he's going to slit my throat and throw me on the tracks. This maniac drug addict is going to **** me and buy some ****** or crack or whatever these ********* scummy losers buy to get high and he's going to leave me on a subway track with blood streaming out of my neck, my mouth a pool of blood. He's waiting for me to get off here at the Spring Garden stop. Well, forget it ******* my wild-eyed doped-up piece of slime. I won't get off here. Wait a minute. He just got off here and the door closed. I see him running up the steps probably to catch a bus or **** someone on the street. Thank god he's gone. I was sure he was going to knife me. I had it all figured the hell out. I even stayed in this piss-ridden rat hole of a subway car and now this means I have to get off at the next stop and go over to the other side of the station and take another subway back to the Spring Garden stop. I have totally ******* up. I talked myself out of getting off at my stop and now I'm totally messed up. I've got to stop thinking like this. This paranoid crap is taking its toll. It tricks me, confuses me, frightens me. I have to be calm now, just get ahold of myself. I'm standing up to get off at the next stop. Now I'm by the door. What's going on here? I just noticed two guys sitting over there just a few seats down on the left and they're looking at me. One's got a mile-long scar on the side of his face. These guys are trouble. The other one just put his hand in his pocket like he's got a gun or something. Holy Christ! I've got to get off. Maybe my mind's just playing tricks on me. I don't know what to think. I'll just stand here by the door. The stop's coming up. Christ! They just got up and they're walking toward me and now they're standing behind me. I can see their reflection in the door's glass. I can almost feel one of them breathing on the back of my neck. I'm trapped now...nowhere to go...nowhere! The door's opening and I step out into the dark. I'm a dead man.
