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 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.

Her grandma had said, Its exact midnight when, The He-god passed their courtyard On Friday nights Dragging a chain Pulled to his ankle They sat there on the portico She counting the rose buds And he untying the shoe lace Years dragged between them, jerking Like the squeaky kitchen drawer. He indexed the strangeness Clinging to his shoulder bag While she sketched The alien features of the little one Sleeping inside. Her dry washed skirts Lay on the backyard poles Drenched in the night rain. She dreaded, The man-god passing would curse If water drips over his face As he crosses over. Words lay scattered Beneath his cigarette smog Like onion peels In that bright wet night. She felt relieved For the silence that came over As a new born babe. At least, now she needn’t explain How she balanced Coffee mugs...
