Well, if I were to breathe my last now

Knowing that you aren’t beside

How do I pass on my last message to you?

This thought bewilders me, my love.

Listen,

Do touch my heart, once.

Though in the coffin

You’ll feel the warmth

Passion of my love

That which you were immune to, always!

In the vacuum of our Silence

Lay my heart quiet, numb

At the background, she plays

The-music- of- death.

Micropoem

  

I know it sounds weird

Yes, it does

But then, I wish to fly naked tonight

Soaked in your luscious love

Enjoying the gentle caress of a tropical breeze.

Love, hear my heart pound like a boom

Crooning your name in ecstasy

As I fly through the clouds

I wish it drizzles on my bare skin

Just the way you tickled me,

Once upon a time!

Once upon a time!

Pa, my beloved

How I wish I could hold your lil finger

To walk through my life, carefree

Now that it sounds like a fairy tale

For you’ve grown old, frail

However, it doesn’t matter

Though far-off

I can still feel you close to me

As I walk into the unknown

An unknown horror eats me now

For, I see demons around

Pa, be my guardian angel tonight.

Across the oceans
through the snowy mountains
I swam
I ran
only to find you
in the galaxy of my heart, my love.

You've slipped
we’ve drifted apart
But then, when it rains
I see you in the rainbow
Smiling at me with love
Singing a song of Sunshine and life.

I would love to dip my feet

Where the river runs shallow

Splashing in the water

Twirling in the waves

Singing a song of unison

Leaving a peck

On your cheek

 Humming into your ears

A tune of sweet nothing

To resonate my love for you,

For, I refuse to hate you.

If only I'd known

I had a storm brewing within me

I wouldn’t have worn

My heart upon my sleeves

For daws to peck at.

Oblivious, I enjoy the rain

The droplets, the drizzle

And the zephyr.

Unfortunately, the breeze ridiculed,

The drizzle mocked

Crippling my heart

Letting loose the storm

Uprooting us, the involved.

“I Do”

Those words loiter around me

As if, they were pronounced yesterday.

As we exchanged the marriage vows,

The demure in your eyes

Your blushing cheeks

And, the way you bit your lower lips

lingers on, baby

Simply, to echo into a stony silence.

I have been digging deep

Into my heart for love

But, found blood in the course.

Surprise, surprise

Neither, could I trace

The hatred nor the hate.

How I wish,

Them to have parted ways,

Only to find the hatred

In her kohl-lined eyes,

Camouflaged.

Ah, the fondle

The tantalizing sizzle on my cheek

Was that the breath of a breeze?

Or, was it she blowing into my ears?

My eyes found out nothing

I've been in a trance

And

Silence was her disclosure,

 As always.

Hey, Girl

Do you see us? Feel us?

It is here, right here,

On this rubble of love,

We’ve lost us.

Our hearts crippled

in isolation,

Costing us our moments,

 Of love and of life.

A kiss away

 Was love once,

But for now, we tossed

Love away.

My love,

Have you wondered, ever

About that which has gone astray?

Sit right here by me

Let’s unriddle love

Love for you is an illusion

A fancy, a fairy dream

And,

You, my love, is the reality

That is love for me.
