Love to Desert


The loves one desert
With no remorse
Roam the city
As pockets of wind.

On those nights
You can’t sleep
They come to you
As reminders
Of the devil in you.

It’s much easier now
To cope with your loss.
Fresh and throbbing
Like a fish
Out of water.

Don’t philosophize
But laugh aloud
Open your arms
And embrace the rain

Droplets are better lovers
With no promises to stay!

Strokes I fail to play.

The images that come to you on a Sunday morning
