Ex 6
The Kitchen
It's that time again.
My phone shouldn't swim.
I leave it behind.
My feet drag, the door joins in too.
My face sags as always.
Time pauses to tease.
There's that pile again.
I'm cuffed with no one to assist me.
I take the glorified slime and mix it with the oils.
The bubbles.
I like the bubbles.
But what do bubbles change?
Then it strikes again.
The silver chord within my heart is strummed again.
Ripple from my head to my hands.
Picking broken shards from the floor again.
I miss the days.
When she was around to mention my name.
Here come my tears again.
Pouring out of the cut I had.
Not in my palms but in my heart to hold.
I am in that place again.
Floating in the fragrance of her cakes and pies.
Landing in the tightness of her scolds and hugs.
Rowing on the rivers of her secret prayers.
It's that time again.
Staring at myself in cloudy water.
Seeing that left to me the storm will never be over.
I like to hold on to the anger that bubbles inside.
Wishing I could be a doctor before she went cold.
The bubbles.
I like the bubbles.
But what do bubbles change?

THE PAWPAW TREE
Outside my window
I see a burdened tree with fruity dreams.
With a billion places to go yet rooted in one spot.
Its pain, its stunted spine.
Bent by the weights that alleviate another's pains.
I see it's sweat, I see its tears.
Sticky white snakes gliding down it's sides.
I see the curse of abundance.
The tears of the blessed
Enveloped in the darkness of isolation.
Waiting for the one in the shade to offer a trade of place.
Hoping someone would understand.
Hoping one would care.
Outside my window, I see myself.
Maybe in another world.
But still,
I see a burdened tree with fruity dreams.
With a billion places to go yet rooted in one spot.

UNFAIR
hanging on the rusty
wall nail,
my sad wrinkled
trousers
wondering what kind
of an accident
it must've been
to leave
them feeling so
amputated
and me so soundly
asleep

WORLD MAP
May night. Outside, the dark storm prowls
like a border patrol van.
I sleep uneasily, my eyes fall on the world
map, hung in the living room wall.
And lo !
All the continents have disappeared,
carried away like autumn leaves.
The oceans are now oceans of absence,
and this entire map - a map of ghostly emptiness.
Full of terror and dread inside, I drag
myself closer to that naked map, put my ears to it.
And straining hard, I heard again that deep
ancient humming filling a mother’s womb,
the same humming that holds together the oceans.
Geography blurred into pre-history blurred
into biology.
Just that humming, some sort of a starting point.

The man who desperately craves love is just like any other man.
There's no particular adjective of shame or kindness to associate with him.
Love is natural. Love is attractive.
I desperately crave love.
Hers would be the best.
It is familiar.
It is known.
I know her smell.
I know the intonation of her voice.
I know how tight she grips.
I know what she likes.
I know when she was born.
I know what her voice sounds like echoing in the compartment of Delhi metro.
But as she used to say it's not like time won't make us forget it.
It's not like it was permanent.
New things will come along.
I tried to desperately not desperately crave love.
But I have now come to realise to crave love is what nature wants.
I could force myself to not crave it but it would be unnatural. As unnatural as a fish swimming upstream.
Nature takes it course and nature will always take it's course.
So idc.
I want to love.
I want to be loved.
And I want to ride the Delhi metro in love once more.

I'd kiss her cheek.
I'd feel the bump that she makes when she smiles.
Withdraw myself to look her in the eyes with her pupils dilated and her lips curving slowly to form a smile made for me.
I'd see my own reflection in her eyes.
My own pupils dilating in her dilated pupils.
My own lips forming a smile as they get closer to touch her smiling lips.
The air filling itself with a heavy blanket under which only us two exist now.
No sound penetrating us.
No outside world being a part.
Only us two in the grazing of our skins, feeling each other's sadness and sorrows mixing together into desire as we become one to be one.
To withdraw from this moment would be criminal.
To withdraw from her would be disastrous.
I don't want to leave her.
I don't want the air to have a space between us.
I want to feel her skin so long our temperatures become one and the sensation that this isn't a part of me vanishes.
I want to see her smile.
I want to hear her whisper with it's soft high and soft lows in its quietened sincerity.
I want to paint her.
I want to write her.
I want to sing her.
I want to be hers.
Why did it have to be too late?

Emptiness
Oh! How I remember those days when I used to read and laugh and cry
Quarrelling and gossiping
Playing and losing
Cooking and serving
my lovelies around
Full of ups and downs
Oh! How lively life used to be
Oh! How come l am here?
With no soul to share
And ears to gossips
No more of age old stories
And no oldies to dictate
Less is there a banter here
Only calm and silence glooms
this tranquil streets and lobbies
of closed shops lined
with haunting strays
men and animals
and lamps going off and on
where empty houses stay
I dread this peaceful city
of beauty uncanned
I loathe my untidy soul for this
For people who yearns for a place like this
For I
Who never know beauty is carried by peace
is unable to comprehend the unknown things like this
Wish I return to the madness of life and life full of lovelies
Wish who genuinely wants it like this replaces me.

Dreams
Everyone has Dreams,
Their own Dreams.
Some Small Dreams,
And Yes, Big ones too.
In which,
Most of them can be achieved,
But a few can't be.
Work, Responsibility,
And thus, Anxiety.
In Consequence,
Some dreams remains
As Fantasies only.
So, must remember.
Dreaming isn't important,
But to achieve them, is.

The Kitten
I saw a cute little creature,
Hiding behind a dense bush.
When I tried to get closer,
She terrified and ran in a rush.
I used to feed her many times,
She would eat the food
But when I get close,
She would run away hastily.
She was literally dramatic.
She lived with her mother,
Everyday, roaming here and there
Everyone passing by could hear,
Meow, meow, meow everywhere.
But now I hear no meow,
She has left this place,
Leaving all memories behind.

Where have you hidden yourself truly?
Where does one search for you duly?
Your imprints are seen now here
Yet you are seen nowhere
How many days at a stretch
For my thoughts to quench?
Will this be an endless quest?
Or this second celebrate success?
Relentless river of hope flows faster
No full stop to my quest hereafter
This river flows down past my door
Whether I wet my feet or walk away
Destiny's magic play
Without any address to go to
Without arguing it much ado
Why did I stand here?
Tell me, my friend very dear
With the brush of solitude
A pretty snowflake I drew
Thanks to the sun's rays on me
I melted into nothingness really
I was like a fish roaming
In the unknown waters swimming
Looking only for you
My sleepless eyes scan high and low
All over the town searching for you
I want to share my thoughts w you
In a language no one else will know
I crossed the seven seas to search for you.
Lookin for only you all the way
I will meet you one day
Cruising the seven mountain and sea

One room is yours, one room is mine,
Will a door open for a lifetime?
One wave is yours, one wave is mine,
Will the sea in between melt by design?
One end is yours, one end is mine
Will both our poles meet to combine?
One cloud is yours, one cloud is mine,
Will the moon cross in between anytime?
One story is yours, one story is mine,
Will this riddle be solved soon sometime?
I see before my eyes nowadays
Many hues and many gateways
I turn into and fly as a nightingale
Cruising many a hill and vale..

Even the shinning stars cried
When they wrre writing a fate
The night also bowed down a bit
And haven't slept till date a proper nap.
As the day burns the sky with
The hot sunny weather
And this inflicts the stars.
The night heals them
And makes them the most beautiful glowing stars again..
Just like a love it is in real life we lost
Like a star then someone comes into our life
Like a shimmy night and briggtens is up like a star glows.
