you reposed-
contoured in a shape
formed ridges,
dividing horizon.
my fingers were
clothespins.
my legs were
propping
while you stretched
receiving weight
some wet linen
hung, to dry

Idealism is one glorious
iridescent flame-
a magnet to young blood
swathe in innocence. How
with our simplicity,
our winged resistance-
singed and burned. Died
until our ashes will mix
in the wick, obliterated
by mediocrity and irrelevance.
Our lives wasted and fading
to wisps of smoke-
in a country where poverty is
a usual sight. Everyday
like cockroaches,
we swarmed the sewers of society
and its livid pavement. Of placards-
waving [...]

Mystery unravels tonight,
strange a landscape-
since you left. The room is
a parched valley of sheets
as I lay naked, bathe
in the lunar light.
Sans the gravity
of your satellite. It orbits
without the ocean’s rage
of high tides luminating
passion, as I grope
within the walled corners
of the stark midnight.
Sadness falls
like rockets ebbing
the bed. Its trajectory
creating pockmarks
and craters
of a dormant volcano.
I tip-toed.
To our [...]

Today, he waits
at the station, searching through
the window panes. And soon
he’ll run along, chasing
shadows to his past.
The train became a home
to a lover. A wanderer of days-
exiled to traveling distances.
An evacuee amidst
the maze of constant strangers.
A thought, he is keeping-
of a woman he lost.
That last glimpse returning,
as she boarded a train-
happily blew him a kiss.
But [...]

The earth became
a lacerated vision
of shallow heaven,
after the rain. T’was
a parting time,
a moment lost
when the big sky
agonizes over
the summer sun.
And how the bamboo trees
sadly waving goodbye.
And the monsoon winds
blew gently,
creating ripples,
mirrored patches
and misty glimpses.
A sea of blue.
It was all-
in the photograph
capturing puddles
reflecting clouds
travelling by.
It was all-
that I keep
as a remembrance,
of a big sky
hoping for the [...]

It’s odd to see a cow
grazing in the fields of gold.
I wonder how they chew
the sun-bleached blades of grass?
Wearing a pair of green-
tinted sunglass.
It’s odd to witness a bird
perched on a concrete sill.
A shred of plastic
on its ashen beak.
I wonder. Isn’t the bird
building a synthetic nest?
It’s odd, then I wonder.
How life forms into a breed
evolving [...]

I came from the east
And you from the west.
The space between us
is an empty canvas.
Our footsteps were
unsure scribbling of lines.
Our lives were
charcoal grey sketches.
Our beings were
liquid pigments, pressed
out of tube-like existence.
Paint the words
written by fate.
Our union pre-destined.
Our spirits would soon
penetrate this world,
transforming our bond
from this obscure surface.
Like criss-crossing layers
of texture and dimension.
Your blood. And my [...]
