• unrelenting

    a million ripples in the rain, more, water slips through my fingers; i cannot believe that i had thought to control the tides; each drop had inflated, conflated, quivered through and i had the audacity to say that this feeble, limp shade stuck on a stick could have ever saved me from your unrelenting touch,

  • sunbeams dream

    you are melting on my lips like the first kiss of snow; i can feel the edges thaw, melting in your warmness; i had thought some things are left for myths and faraway constellations, but, here, in your eyes, the water sparkles and sunbeams dream,

  • skin and sinew

    love, i wanted to close the rip in the seams, stitching over and over, quicker—lips and fingers bleeding; but you weren’t asking for repair, the strings cling the edge of the cliff, everything demands complete unraveling, ripped through; skin and sinew lay bare, bones, and beating heart,

  • rows of roses

    love, i am tired, i have labored in your fields, tilled and seeded, rows upon rows of roses, i have played upon each row like a music note, twirled and twisted until i could no more, love, it’s exhausting, i had always thought for you all movements is real, but, you wish for a single…

  • a violet

    maybe it will be drowned in all the noise around us just like we forget to look for the moon on some days, but, if you do look up…it’s always there; love, don’t feel lonely, there is a constancy that i cannot describe; i haven’t learnt to come forth from it yet; i hope i…

  • sole sinks

    i find myself walking soft in your presence, my sole sinks like kisses and my eyes seem to touch without touching; love, i shall never speak again, the winds love free, every blade of grass twisting and sunbursts on water is so sweet; i am melting, gravity is my pull, i cannot stop the trembling…

  • blue butterfly

    i had asked for you, love, like a child’s dream, a fairytale on the wings of a blue butterfly, i had asked for you, in those dreamy dust motes over my math notebook; i had asked for you through every breath taken, every tear shed, every inflicted pain; i had asked for you, and in…

  • images

    the images have fallen silent, my body speaks what my voice could not, all the stories untold spills from my edges, i have been inked by silence, and sadly, silence is a language unseen; the void yawns, but it always speaks; it says…i am here, i am here, i am here—

  • sunstream

    the house shutters it’s windows, the blinds are down, the doors closed, winter seeps in, frost glitters like something from the underworld, the flame has gone cold–blue and deep–no warmth but somehow luminous; i don’t understand it, i must follow it, love, i have not gone, but i must go, the moonlit path calls me;…

  • a thousand arms

    the whole of me aches like a thousand arms had rained down on me ruthlessly in a single moment, my hands tremble, love, i have made a mistake—i have confused bruises for kisses, i can hear a lineage of cries in my sleep, of softness ripped through, her trail of tears seeping the earth, more…
