R.I.P.

“the tiny crumbs of bread,

were only to mark my trail”, cried

gretel collapsing to the floor

unruffled, they looked hansel in the eye

challenging him to turn against the pack

incognito

how can he let go

the maverick butterflies

he chased

to fractured bottles

when he barely

could walk,

knowing well

they can

only fly that high, that far

how can he let them

prosper in oblivion

so he thought

had her skin been as soft as her voice
they'd have played longer

the descendant

her pace

got brisker

towards

the end

each time

his pace

at best

steady

wonder if

she realised

the destination

was the journey

wonder if

he knew

too well

pillow talk

"is love not a battle fought

between the sheets?", argued

the man

"then ours is a

rapid-fire shootout", remarked

the woman

*and that night they slept

with their backs toward each other*

Play II

it’s not your independence

he is after

never was

it is your inherent nature

of remaining liberated

that frightened him

he backed his

ability to domesticate you

with his kisses and words,

some more words and

the promise of everlasting love

only to be let down

by the brewing fight

within you

of momentary

lust

he finally had no choice

but to strip himself

bare

to the bone

load. aim. fire. repeat.

her lips curl
upward
as she blinks
at his
fleeting
disregard
for her
existence
and he
barks
about
violently
to shatter
the silence
that followed
the decisive bullet
he shot
a year ago

thundered

slyly between the leaves

in and out, out and in (repeat)

only to spill the ink

he tread timidly along her murderous curves,

slipping into the fiery crevice, never to be seen again

ruthless child

blink and walk

over the blurring lines

of her soul

led by the thoughts

in your head

no strings need

be attached

for they will not

survive the emptiness

of the emotion

tucked away in

the corner of her

naked eye

blink and run

around the boundaries

of her existence

defined by the

spirit that owns you

no strings need

be attached

for even they will not

survive the emptiness

of the emotion

tucked away in

the corner of your

naked eye

blink and kill...

let it flip

tying the rope around his neck

to the iron pole cemented to the ground

he sat on the edge of his bed

under starry skies

all night

day came and then came night

as he continued to sit there

waiting for his world

to turn upside down

The Old Whore

he ran his hand

over the moist piece of cloth

dressing the cot

as his fingers read

every movement of hers

through the uncanny contours

of the spread

feeling the dents

of her body pressing deeper

with each subsequent thrust

breeding contempt

for she came cheap

had he been there

he would have laughed

Bubbles

A child blows bubbles

dipping a bent wire

in a can of soapy water

and watches them

flow with the wind, unperturbed

about their destination

Along the way

they disappear

conceding to the wind

and people's restless fingers

the two finally left

one tiny, but tight

the other,

big and pretty loose

are the ones that

draw the child's attention

as he waits for them to quench

his quest for life

Pop!

Doodle Bug

keep an eye on the pencil

as it moves around

on a tiny chit, hastily torn

scratching the surface

in short circular motions

boring the ones

incapable to grasp

the suffocation of spaces, defined

captivating the ones, ridiculously

waiting for it to burn a hole,

or simply fall off the rugged surface

divine comedy

her toes curl around

in anticipation of his warmth

the beat of his racing pulse

punches holes in her heart

bringing him closer through her eyes

her arms wrapped around

in the rungs of knowing him

a part within her begins to rust

the mirror, on the ceiling, shatters

to multiply his existence

gathering the tiny pieces of him

her lips bleed

as she lets go of her divinity

the search ends here..

let your eyes flicker as you pass me by

Unlearn

Back then, being schooled

I enthusiastically hogged on letters,

Rolled them into words with my tongue,

Swallowed them to form sentences while tripping down my throat,

Till they finally settled down and digested in my stomach.

This, to me they said was growing up.

Now that they say is done,

Am braving indigestion, burping out sentences,

Trying to bite them into words, chew them back in.

So much for trying, I am only puking out letters, not just the ones I had,

Throwing out much more than what I thought I had all these years.

This, to them I say is growing up.
