Dear Loneliness
Dear Comrade
23 December 2021
If I'd never met you
Greenhouse
Winds are hurling
A storm.
Earth quivers in
Boggled awe.
As a revolution
Comes alive.
Icecaps are afraid
Of a wave of heat.
Mountains shiver out
In a cold that beats.
Seas too slosh
In scare,
To the revolution
That's in wake.
Forests have lost
Their cool.
Animals are as
Confused.
Trees do anticipate
Something bad.
The revolution in
Wake, is not
Welcome at all.
Demons are
Running for life.
Angels are confused
Taking sides.
Gods sit coughing,
For being pleased
With lit-up cigars.
And the man lauds
The smoke,
He is breathing.
Lits another cigarette,
To celebrate the next

Vacuum
Trenches,
Till the vast expanse,
Of the sky.
Collapsing neutrons
In the core.
Till the doused light
In dying stars.
From a widow's
Eyes to
Sinking hopes in
Hospital corridors.
Loneliness prances
Like a
Hell sanctioned,
Demonic Avatar.
And when it
Joins hands with,
The freak of
Re-enforcing silence..
The noise it makes
Is much more quieter.
Like it's a vacuum.
Sheer Emptiness.
Dust of separation
Has smothered
My verses.
Stories prematurely
Die.
Has stacked
It's pitch dark.
A veil is spread
On my eyes.
Sight is murky,
I'm almost blind.
Dust of separation
Has taken over
My mind...
Thoughts are
Misaligned.
Sense of perception
Is gone.
Has opened some
Wounds,
I scream your
Name.. but
You're not around.
The dust must
Have settled on
You as well.
Are you too

Bday Gone Wrong
Be expecting a
Gift.
And I'm all
Caught up in
My head,
Preparing a list.
..
The song I
Wanted to write
Hasn't come in
Handy.
For the train I've
Been waiting,
The signs haven't
Been so dandy.
..
My rhymes are
Still broken.
Words,
Incomplete.
The tones are
Out of sync.
I have run out
Of ink.
..
It's been three
Hours,
Sky is turning
Pink.
She must be
Waiting for
Long..
Her hopes
Shouldn't sink.
..
The train did
Reach late and
She didn't quite
Really wait.
But I did sing
A ballad on
Out of her
Hostel gate.
..
Dance
Brush away the shade.
Color your gaze.
Tickle your desires,
And to the off-key
Music of your
Head,
Let yourself go.
It's time for you
To dance.
..
Breakaway from
The restraints.
Tear off the
Snares you wear.
It's time to stretch
Arms, to grow wings.
Euphoria that
Bounces off from
Your redemption..
It's time for you
To dance.
..
Let go of the
Bondage of
Guilt.
Wash clean the
Slate of your sins.
Look yourself in
The mirror.
Hold yourself in
A prayer.
To chimes of
Promises you wanna
It's time for you
To dance.
..
Pain
We eat for breakfast,
Our misery.
We go shopping
Insecurities.
When needed,
Plan a heist to
Loot pain from
People's treasury.
Demons lend
Ears to our jokes,
Death wants with
Us a fair duel.
The cold blue
Is our fuel.
Guileful smiles
Elevate our pleasure.
We kill ourselves
In our own stories,
To listen to fancy
Eulogies.
Gods bet against
Our fate.
People distance
Themselves,
Vulnerability is
What they hate.
You seem to be
Keen though.
Hurt? or hungry?

Pain
I love shade
In your town
These words.
The loneliness
That hangs in
My thoughts.
The insecurity
I often talk
About and
The sadness
I always
Reflect has
Shades of
Missing you.
A feeling of
Being lost..
Always clung
To the past..
Perception of
Reality is lost,
My reflection in
The mirror
Has started
Wearing masks.
I have been
This time?
The seed of
The apple I ate
Yesterday,
Prison of Perception

Unloving Demands Blood
Falling for her
Would have needed
No reason,
Her smile was enough.
Like the slide of knife
On butter.
Slip of tongue as
You stutter.
Love pretty much
Is a work of gravity.
But un-loving..
Demands blood.
A work of iron with
Deliberate thumps.
You may have to
Chop your tongue,
Vomit your guts.
Stab your heart to
Suppress thoughts.
Kill your mind
With sanity,
Slap your fantasies
With a purpose,
To hold onto reality.
Graveyard and of
Obsolete souvenirs,
You become a dump-yard.
Un-loving is like
Digging a well
In the desert to
Forget thirst..
Heat takes a toll later.
But hope will
Kill you first.

And when the bluebird rides your thoughts and there is no way out. You take your pen and paper and scribble everything down like you wanna bleed it all out. But It's just a trail of mental diarrhea on paper. Nothing redeeming.
