Denouement
Evening of life
waiting at the doorway
Primrose oil lamp burns
scarlet flames rise unwittingly
and embrace the lovely evening
Hour 24

Crystalline leaves
with visible veins
look like lace
knit together
by spiders
i feel a daisy move near my ear,
i may have drifted off into my dreams.
eyes closed- a whiff of his cologne brings a familiar warmth.
‘go back to sleep love’, he tells me.
my dreams aren’t as beautiful as this right now.
I move closer, my hand rests on his stubble.
eyes closed- he lets out a sigh.
knowing smiles exchanged, i hear the thoughts in his mind.
brown eyes tell me to hold on for some more time.
from tickles to pillow-talk,
his only wish, to have it all.

beeswax
and honeycomb,
sunlight syrup pouring from a tap,
the little step on which I stood to turn the bin,
the burr of spinning frames, the whole scent of summer was
beeswax
slicked along a spool of thread, the burr of blades through paper piles,
the chair I bought to help my back; the whole scent of summer is
sunlight pouring through tall windows,
book glue, and
beeswax.
Words seem empty
And they can betray
Pushing things to the edge
Knowing my faults
The horror sinks in
You would no longer be near
Filled up with remorse
If it’s worth, I am sorry
Turning in to a monster
You know very well
Our love is on the line
I want you beside me
I wish I can say that
The hurt I have caused you
And the pain I have put you through
A fear which grows inside me
Of losing you forever
I still make mistakes and mess up
But the only mistake I will regret
Is the one, one where I lose you
So here I come to you in shambles
Hope you see, that I want you forever
That I love you
I hold on to these strings of words.
Hour – 17
In this world full of charms
i may not be the best
Yet certainly, I’m not like the rest
a path wide enough
for only two of us to walk abreast
The feelings the emotions
No real love just the lust
Failed to learn the maneuvers
Mocked by the dirty trickers
Trying to kill my innocence
every action under a surveillance
Trying to overcome the resentment
Ignored the Prophecy
Fell prey to Destiny
It’s not as easy as I assumed
To conserve the world from being doomed
I guess I was wrong
To fix the cold world
Fill the warmth of love
Is not going to be easy as the task
Yet, I am happy with the suffering
The cost i paid for honesty is vast
In this world full of fallacies
I may not be the best
But at least I am not like the rest

Twinkles in the sky
Songs simple and sweet
Darkness with little light
Brightness only with absence
Glows with reflection
Twinkles in the sky
Conjurer of crows
you sabotage the saboteur
in all of us.
Though you’ve never gone to war
you’re
Psyche’s Soldier
i see you training every morning
airboxing the west wind
jumping through hoops
kicking dams and cyclones
you get it:
put the body through
utter turmoil
so that the heart
never has to go to war
