A go ny
I think of thoughts and pain unthinkable
Shutting the eyes seem easy,
but the pain is not sucked in.
It remains a reminder on the chest,
heavy, unspeakable.
A go ny
I go in
Into my flesh
Reshaping into my skin...
but there are flabs of the past.
Things one can not let go
Because the end of the rope is burnt
and it hangs loose in our hearts.
So we wear hushes,
with the thrushes
burning our tongues
And carry on with long faces
as time jeers at our slow pace.
Before we learn to lift up our heads
and look at the world again...
The word on the street is that
everything new is old
And everything old is older.
We find the world has outgrown us.
We are just the excess cloth
life has tailored out.
Like the extra bogus allowances,
we are trimmed out
and shoved in the bin.
And so our tales end
and the curtain of another opens
beaming bright like the day we never remembered blaring hungry throats
into the world,
with hopeful and excited little feet
learning to take its first step.
But no one ever teaches you
how to walk the walk in life.
Because life may never publish
a manufacturer's manual.
Successful people offer
tiny journals of their journeys
and the undead seeking a way ahead
hurry to read.
There's no life without strife...
Show me a sky devoid of winds,
I'd show you the darkness
lurking behind deadbeat skies.
Show me life without woes
and I'd tell you the throes
are a stone-throw away.
Wait for it!
What's happiness?
Is it the absence of sorrow?
What's peace?
Is it the leave of war?
It's the congruence of anomaly.
A state in which we exist.
One is the marker of the other.
In a-go-ny, we recall the times
we shared from the bowels of joy
ricocheting from the
lips of a loved one lost.
Forgive me,
but I cannot put the word a-go-ny together,
for the tune it played last left a blast
where my heart used to reside.
I am healing, but without the organ in place.
We are healing. Our emotions will learn to improvise.
It's a process.
Allow it.

Every kind of fabric;
the one which conceals it all;
the little one that holds two firm mounds;
the v-shaped one that holds the key to the city;
are all peeled away.
Tongues begin to trail;
hands go astray;
they roughen every part in their path.
Mouths join in the search of troves;
they find organs alike;
both coiling in a savage twist.
Procreative organs pound together..
a new flame is ignited;
it begins to spread;
first, through the lungs
finding its way to the stomach;
there's an unsettling here,
as it moves through limbs.
Passion strikes the temperature
of desires; heat escapes through
every pore it can find.
The intense heat finds no escape pods
so it manifests as pimples on the flesh.
Do you want more?

My ears murmured look how graciously she walks into the jungle bearing her soul with an infectious smile,
The touch of her feet on the barren ground of my heart has changed everything to lush green,
When she tries to gaze at the sun, he hides behind the clouds with suffused cheeks,
Tantrums wind changes the direction when they meet her hair flying towards them.

Irony of Death
- Taw Francis]
Ironic it gets
How people reɑcts
Towɑrds your deɑth
How they get so eɑger
to sɑy their finɑl goodbyes
when you couldn't get ɑ single Hello-
from ɑny of them when you were ɑlive
It's so ironic I sɑy
How people sing you prɑises
ɑnd tɑlk good ɑbout you now thɑt you ɑre gone
yet mockery, instigɑtions ɑnd nɑme cɑlling is ɑll you could get when you hɑd ɑ breɑth
It gets much ironic
Everyone mɑkes sure you get mimiced
It is much ironic thɑt-
They get ɑ nerve to scribble on your grɑve rest in peɑce when you ɑre six-feet-deep knowing you hɑven't hɑd ɑ single piece of thɑt so cɑlled peɑce whilst you where up here.
So ɑs you ɑre out of their sight, surely you're out of their mind.
Vivid memories is ɑll they hold.
Deɑth's Ironies..

Smile: A Figure of Speech
Smile is a figure of speech!
Please go back to the first line and read again.
Like soap is dissolved in water,
it is as fickle as this-
fading with moments.
When the anger kisses our lips
this sparks of smiles are gone
like they were never there.
But as poets, we thrive in pain-
the rough edges of our metaphors
cutting like blades of a trampled grass.
I come with an inquiry-
if the pain within you dries up
what would your lines then bleed?
Only if I knew how to paint
words using allusions of joy,
perhaps, the poet in me
will not have been reduced
to pellets of once upon a time glory.
I hate to say this,
but these sombre moments
are the liquid of my poems
They are the little dragons
that breathes the fire
that once burned
within these walls of mine.
Happiness have slayed my creative creatures
now I understand there's a need to feel both worlds-
to be grateful even as the sear deal its pang.
What debris of diction
is left for happy poets like me?
Do I pick up the common
placards of romance or receipt of love once lost?
Perhaps, recuperation too is a kind is sickness
especially for one used to being too ill.

Forgive me for my transgressions
I am only human
I bleed when cut
I suffocate when squeezed in the gut
Forgive me for my transgressions
Who am I not to sin
My flaws gives my imperfections perfection
I cry in the night like a baby when reminded of whom I am
Forgive me for my transgressions
I tend to forget
That there's a life full of regret
Our worldly journey seems to be a boredom
for someone with a deceptive heart
Forgive me forgive me
Forget me
Forever is bliss
Today is what life is;

Itself
Stars they are blinding
Like the light that comes from Mars
Red and thick like the summers eve
Heavy with emence gravity
The blue sky keeps lingering above me
With my mind filled with wounder
As I imagine diffrent outcomes
The wind caresses my skin to call its attention
My lips quiver with passion
Closing my eyes I listen to the melody that surrounds me.

Existing
My mind wants to be silent as the midnight air above the mountains
My eyes want to close and remain so for a very long time
My lips they are sealed for no words want to come out
My heart it wants to rest with every breath and never come back
My hands they ache with every move I make
With every sigh and every glance I take my soul just breaks
When will this end

What the society think about you is not important it's all about how you view yourself within is very much important!!! Let them think you're a loser, let them think you're a mad, but keep winning in your private life.
you don't need to prove who you're to anyone, just be you. If they say you're a fool / smart still nothing changes. Always be neutral; take all the appreciation and criticism equally but never be disturbed to these words. Try to act beyond these words. Be like a 'Dhira' - ( a person who can never be disturbed by anything and acting neutral to all the actions & reactions.)

Every hero blooms out of difficulty; Our hero Kumar is just like a pure milk who is innocent, brilliant and hard worker, he came from a small village, he studied in city and started to go to gym, he had a dream to build his body for competition but he required money so he was working as a bodyguard under security consultancy company where he got one job as a bodyguard for a reputed company's owner wife, CEO of that company had lot of threats lately because of his sudden profit and fame around the city, so they hired 4 bodyguards in that Kumar was one of them. His wife Malini was abused by his husband everyday, he used to hit her with his blet and abuse her with vulgar words every night! Kumar was noticing all these but he stayed silent as he was only a bodyguard; he thought interfering in family was not his business.
Malini used to cry every morning remembering what his husband has done this to her life.
one day Malini called Kumar to take her to somewhere peaceful place to spend alone, she started to cry there also Kumar couldn't control this time he went and consoled her, Malini said "What did I do to deserve this?"
Kumar gently tap her back and Malini hugged him Started to cry even more.
Next day they both started to travel in car more often together, spending lots of time together within no time they both fallen in love without a hint. Her husband Amit had observed her change in behavior, he tried to make to love her, talk to her, sleep next to her always she used to avoid him in all possible ways, he got frustrated even more, when he was in office cabin he switched on his home cameras online, he watched both Kumar and Malini getting close in house, immediately he came home and said Kumar to leave his home now and called consultancy company to cancel the contract with him due to his misbehaviour so Kumar lost his job. His wife who heard all these got frustrated and left house in serch of Kumar, Amit tried to stop her forcefully and locked her up, one mistake Kumar did was to love married women whole heartedly! He knew the consequences coming, now he had no choice either he should live with her or die alone in memories of her. Malini was becoming weak day by day without having food properly, Amit tried everything to get his wife back; he realized she'll never love him again so he say to Malini to choose her life carefully once again she boldly says "I'm in love with Kumar I want to live with him otherwise no life for me" So Amit opens the door and say go, Malini run away from there with happiness to meet Kumar, by then all these incident passes 1 year still she'll be craving for his love, when she reaches the Kumar house she'll meet his mother and when she looks at his photo frame and falls on ground devastated, his mother says Kumar is died as a war hero sacrificing his life for his country.
Malini will remember Kumar saying about his selection letter to army, his mother hands over the last letter written to Malini "I will always love you and this body will perish in your memories. Let's meet in another life, till then I'll be waiting for you." Malini eyes gets wet.

Body of Water
Body of Water
meeting the waves halfway-
saltiness swallowing fears
losing the feel of sand
with every step.
wet sand slapping face
beckoning for a rethink
eye shut,
defiling redness
that summit to tears
Seagulls offer truce
crooning for a submission.
Fates are sealed
Decisions made
The surrounding body of water calls.
A dive gives it all-
At first, the waves would resist
but alas, no struggle from this side.
Slowly, it sets in.
The body of water
rushing into flaccid ears,
nose, mouth-
everything that leaves itself open.
The stomach will drink to its fill
until the substance that gives life
gradually disappears.
The body of water will hold on
for a while to the body of sacrifice
and when its mouths are full
it would retch the peels unto land.
Live eyes will stumble on it.
Concerned gloves will lift
it into a body bag.
The ones who once
placed a voice to the face
would weep at its recognition.
The greedy body of water
would moan for yet another
and the cycle repeats itself again.

Saunters and Sorrows
SAUNTERS AND SORROWS
Someone told me my poems are now devoid of imageries.
Who would whisper to him that my mind is an angry man's maze
with cobwebs; you may never find your hungry eyes out of it.
You'd mesh into its sorrows and expire in its sombre lines.
I know you; you seek out the darkness in your soul
I'd show you the way but are you willing?
Willing to pay the price of taking a screenshot of the demon that pesters your tiny soul?
Or the wickedness that vomits in the recesses of your mind
The gore, the arrows you've fired in your mind;
those around you walking dead
your thirty-six feigning a smile.
Ha! I am yet to begin and you fidget.
Let me raise the curtains
and show you your true self
behind those smiles
Raise your glass
and I'll reveal the shards
piercing your emotions.
The darkness once beckoned in my lines
dragging me beyond boundaries
and I knew I had opened a door of terror
and it did consume me,
with grief and hopelessness
I watched me shrink into nothing;
a bubble of empty air,
burning like the early morning fires of a rain forest
The chars fell as a thousand black birds;
a rebound into the tripods of macabre
death was encompassing;
it had its talon deep in my flesh
poured its dark blood in my mouth.
The creature called to the hungry skies
and my spirit rose to answer
I knew the moment to be the end
A shut of my eyes and the plea of my soul
lead to a doorway to life.
Only but for a shekel of salvation
and a tupenny trinket of tremor
did I place an order for a set of new wings.
now I understand how to cushion myself
in the midst of both worlds.
