Secluded in vast expanses I do not hide
From eyes, at least not intentionally and though
I stand tall for everyone to see to indulge
In the glimmering solace my essence offers
Blindly and though, all decant my lymph and … CONTINUE READING »
When we forget
You can find him making love in narrow streets
To his violin, his willowy figure lost in darkness
Playing a silent lyric, melancholic, a lyric of loneliness
As he goes unnoticed, unheeded, unperceived.
He fondles the neck of his venerated … CONTINUE READING »
Gratitude
Woke up to light, in my life today
the sun rose for the 15,705th time.
For 15,705 days Earth has spinned in such
a delightful precise way as to grant
me existence, an abode in the bewildering

Lower the Curtain
Curtain down on glittering smiles,
Children’s exuberance, adults’ laughter.
Curtain down on happiness,
The concept, the unalienable right, its pursuit.
Curtain down on comradery,

Before it’s too late
Seek me, let passion lead you,
Surrender to the mellifluous impulse,

Your essence, your substance, seeking your words,
Your embrace, your empathy, your courage,
Your sorrow, your grief, your resilience, your tears,
Your frustrated anger, the bravery … CONTINUE READING »
Do Not Apologise
My dear fish, feels like the world is going bonkers,
Humanity has stumbled upon a bizarre newfangled disorder
Compelling it to walk backwards, blind to its retroceding course,
Blind to its sombre direction, its dismal destination,
All it sees is … CONTINUE READING »
Amber Leaves
I am alone as I wait for you
Toying with colours by the tree,
Slowly undressing fading emerald
Into brittle rustling amber Didi and Gogo
Are nowhere to be seen. With patience
And anticipation I read the longest novels,
I … CONTINUE READING »
TOO DARN HOT
As Dostoevsky and the Karamazov have been lying
on my belly for the past half hour I am musing
on a chocolate cake, soft sponge, creamy frosting
dark cold icing, my mouth watering in anticipation
my mind perusing the kitchen, … CONTINUE READING »
