Aborted
Another child? Eyebrows raised. Our Eyelids sank Ashamed! Depths of her womb cringed, Two sad gasps echoed. Umbilical chord, a tight rope Amniotic liquid, dessert of poison. Hands Unloved, Unkissed.

Life after
Oh baby.. Dont kneel. Daada hold me!! I’m sinking Is it karma Or death confused? Be quiet. Stay still. Daada I’m drifting Blurred sights Muted breaths, Heartbeats.. Past lives encircled Thoughts, memories muddled. Soul detached, Floating… Deep slumber Inner voice chanting Om…… Arose.. Incarnated!

Readers
World skims through my life, barely reading a word Benumbed in boredom blues. God watches me keen Through his rainbow shades, Repainting each tear smudged word With petals of love…

Two lives
Craving to write a simple “love” or “mirage” in a piece of code. Typing out of desire then deleting out of necessity “aroma” or “drizzle” or “rainbows”. In an infinite maze of “if’s” and “else’s” I stand broken, my emotions wrecked. Poetry lost in logical dilemmas stories buried in broken thoughts characters strangled to meet […]

Another
Tears fall on my liquor diluting its vigour Head bangs hard Howling with the wind Empty wardrobes, Empty side of my bed Thoughts pettiness… Wishing, another ice on my glass Craving, another date with her eyes.
