its funny to be in an a.c hall
with lines of white computer facing longer lines of students
and there is a pin drop silence engulfing us
funnier is that i have come a long way
from the haven of those poor parents who shielded me from all decoy
from my brother's innocent questions
from another's care
and as i sit in this sterilized library 
amidst the teeming heartbeats,
i seep in the loneliness
does it reside in the mind or the heart only.. i wonder
and i wonder if i had been lonely throughout inspite
of what i had got down these years...
but the screen remains blank with no answer.
network failure, i say.

cast away

castaway
in your ocean of bliss
am left free to roam
free to feel and kiss...
castaway
in your sky i dive
dark and blue
and sometimes true
i need to die to feel alive.

Today at 10 am



The water, it falls with the silent rush of emotion
I lose track of time
The boys play cricket in a wet ecstasy which only they know
I am not part of it…
My mind is occupied elsewhere
Fever and blank verse strikes me from within
And I cannot understand the reason I donot feel the mirth that I should
Nothing comes straight,
Cloud, grey, wall, darkness reigns supreme
Its an irritation, an itch I cannot scratch
I'm left with nothing but the desire to sneeze!!!

fags

spiraling up like a wiry haze
the strings from the cigarette 
flew back into the lungs
and i die from cancer
without even knowing what it is
to smoke
and i wonder
lying back on squeaky white sheets 
amidst figures in white
how does it feel to inhale..
how does it feel to breathe..
everything is so clogged up now 
even imagination



today

silently the sun climbs up the sky
we forget to watch as it blazes our eye..
why do we watch the moon then or the stars
for that matter, 
i do not know, hell no, not i... 
cocooned within a mesh of ink
procrastinating, pausing to think
the night is gone through its western door
the sun begins her acrobatics once more

Chlorophyll

i see to move
move to touch
touch to feel
feel to know
know to reassure
reassure to live
live to die
and die to love once more...

Tricks of the trade

everyday it's a maze
you don't know where to go
which road to take
what the end might show..
might you be happy?
might you die?
might you be scared to leave 
life behind?
life's a maze
too many turns
too many provocations
too many heartburns...
it takes a toll on your peace den
you'd rather look away to begin again...
you are the maze
you don't go in a straight line
you twist and braid
you preserve in brine..
you stub a toe
yet on you go,
you stop at the prize
and i say - it's mine!

Roses

ashes blown away
camaraderie galore..
ashes in my eyes
till i can see no more

Bogunvillea

red carpet on the earth
a tinge of the sunset in her eyes
and my pot of gold awaits me at the
end of the rainbow...
hues of a heated day
lie still on dry twigs
setting fire to all within
somehow i crawl to the edge of the abyss
peering in
wishing i could look up
at the sky
from down under...
and i close my eyes in hope...
