Boredom of a kind


Boredom is a sign of depression.

The type that affects the stealthy rich


What else to do

when you have had your lunch

taken a day off at the beach

debated on how climate change is directly proportional

to the class wars and refugee hike

Smoked while counting stars,

Joined a toast at your friends garage and

sang of love and longing.


Boredom affects your religion

When you have nothing to pray.

As your thoughts take a flight

on sleepless nights

over abstract canvas of life and letters.

The type, which a toiling body miss

the moment it falls asleep

exhausted, under some way side makeshift

Or on mud, on a full moon day.

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.

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.
