when in love


Thirty
Is the ripe era
To fall in love.

No home works
No lectures
No exams.

A dozen year old wed-lock.
Wiped off novice.

Bitter half at gym
Random kids at shuttle class
In laws in star plus

She 
Alice in nowhere land
Floating over head and toe.

Cross him one fine day
And later
One more day

Childish love
Teenage love
Loveless love
Leaps all her loves in a flash

A whole new world
She falls for life.


adjectives stripped
(plain) love!


Still

Imbalance is a brooding dog

splits her self
to now and then.

She sweeps it away
Under the bed
And
Over the cupboards

but, In vain.

She

Loves in her balcony,
soul masked.
Lives in her kitchen,
legs spread out.

Emotionally unplugged,
Certified winding machine.
Today, tomorrow and day after…

But… dear love….

She was thinking of you
When he made love.

lakshmi priya... I dont know how I reached your Blog. anyway it was a surprising experience. mildly shocking. but what I was shocked more - is the complete absence of comments for both of your poems- Love and I Wed... what is the reason ?
The icons you used cleverly does convey the message loudly and boldly. the dozen head nods, a dozen year old wedlock...
Happy to read them. I too have a Blog. Pls see if you have time

Now that I move on

Gradually I fail to fall in love so do my attempts to write poems It's not that they are connected, love and poetry you and me now and then. But they conjure,  haphazard evenings and revolting senses.  The void, that takes over like a weed looking for excess.

Tunes you play for me

The tunes you play for me are brown. With souls walking in head scarf. Short and hump. Climbing hillocks of round stones. Faceless, like extended life There is a tunnel of rails Murmuring the distant pace Heartbeats in summer. Folks of the altitude. Strolling children from heaven. Baby curls Like swings of amazons. A single bloom, yellow in a pale grey canvas Thick skies Heavy like void, of your pangs. Burial ground. Silver moon. Withdrawing lives. Slumbers of yesterdays. Glow worms. Wind. Strokes I fail to play.

The images that come to you on a Sunday morning

Jesus, crucified in an altar facing the sea Desires, Prayer beads Rain down your skin as you walk, into the endless gaze of a body sprouting blood You turn away, from the wickfires, glorifying a sacrifice, and face the monsoon waves Love, leaves the shore again and again Droplets from the altar flow past your breath filling the waters The sea and the sky, Pale blues, spilling over each other You smile, as you notice, a million crossing overs wetness over the sandbanks yellow lights over eyes, closed sky over your purpose, and My longings, over your abundance
