Nymph nodes



Nymph nodes

I
 Childhood has an attributed nostalgia
like ventilators that sustain life.

It’s like your wish to return
to the cellar towers
Where you watch,
the green of weeded walls.

The damp air
The dusk
and the rusty care taker
fill your breast,
While you watch
your shadow curve
in the lantern shade.

II
 I was a girl of eleven
with a cot of my own,
When fingers, thick and dark
spread on to my skin.
I lay bare, by the window cot
watching afternoon leaves
flutter shades and breeze.

It was a nameless tree, next to my broken fence,
marked as my floristic guardian angel
in the annals of my birth star logics.

Climbed on it, every other day my pores bled,
To paste its pulp in-between slices chiseled.

It stood straight, with a thousand limbs stretching.

I must have hugged and kissed its belly red.
For I feel,
I am cuddled within.

The Insult

Suddenly, one day You become a weed on a courtyard wall   The wild green that nourishes on the intrinsic bliss of his domesticity.   Their murmurs of yesteryears gather on your body, hanging down the dilapidated concrete, and write new epilogues for a play, that ended much before the first Act   Your hapless nerves become, the scorching summer intruding, their frozen corridors. The melancholy whore, You spread like evening rays over, the impending silence.   Your words Your skies Your cuddle Your newfound womb, shatter over a forbidden land, mutilated.   The snake bite on their moonlit nights, You ooze out, from a million pores.

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.

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.
