Biography

A name without 
a face. I am an ancestor 
unknown. 
 
A shortened height, 
difficult to exult 
in honors bestowed. 
 
The light hurts, in 
earthen cave. You write 
on wall of conscience. 
 
The mud clings. 
Stink covers you, like 
serpentine arm. 
 
The arbor has many 
colors. I will choose 
none in dark.

Preface

Between life and death 
a photo finish race 
will decide the relationship. 
 
There was intoxication 
at heights. Your throat had 
become hoarsed, sliced 
after a scream. Matchsticks 
were thrust in the 
gnawed mound of kneaded 
flour. The kitchen 
was going to explode. 
 
Barehands you were 
picking the black beans; 
parting me lip by lip 
caressing me thumb by thumb.

Wrapped In Stigma

The heritage 
went for a sale. A tree 
stands denuded, after 
a nudie. 
 
An orange land hides 
the broken remains of terra 
cota. I wanted an earthen 
inkpot and a reed pen. 
 
There was a wounded word 
on the tongue. A 
dragonfly leaves the voracious 
appetite and skims on milk. 
 
Pulsating cleavage 
gets a prize. The salt lakes 
are full. A caged bird 
will not sing.

Rehabilitating Myself

How much honest you were 
while climbing the stairs, 
to inherit the shame of century, 
invoking the remains? 
A hip will not move for the voidance. 
A notch below, the 
exhumation will prove the Taser 
attack, stunning the history. 
 
Let us sit and take over tea 
under the depressed moon, pondering 
on the nature of man. When 
you reach the top, you become 
a lesser rich. Groping the lonelier 
grief of poverty, I become 
more humane. The water swells 
very often, I see the world 
now by closed eyes. 
 
I walk with my shadow shrunk 
under my feet. I become 
the world.

Reviled And Revered

When hunger becomes 
a little god. You start waiting 
for a miracle to happen. 
Like a grandfather clock, you 
had stopped moving. Time 
becomes a scoop from your ancestor’s 
skull. You start digging 
the floor for broken pins, 
holding the secret prayers. 
You watch yourself now 
buried in words, picking up 
some flowers with numb 
hands, waiting for the ants 
to come, to open the 
curved in, corona of narcissus.

Unyielding

Sexism was chasing a 
gibbous moon whole night. 
I ask the virtuous dark, 
will you be a hangman? 
 
Targeted love was a bliss 
for a dying man. You need 
to walk on a fine line to 
attain the liberation. 
 
Despite the coveted prize, 
killing was more convenient. 
There hangs a tale, you 
cannot play the tune again. 
 
Without the hyphen, the 
other side becomes blue. 
A belief starts the tremors 
in the sleeves of a headless moon.

In Exile

With tall questions I am 
alone, waiting for the 
tomb robbers to come. 
 
Truth was no more a religion. 
You wanted to consecrate― 
the illusion, sealed in myths. 
 
A graffiti appears on the 
waiting trees. Who put― 
the curse on swaying blooms? 
 
The dialect of the moon will 
not listen to heart beats of sun. 
The grammar was in primitive state. 
 
Yes, the music of lake has 
a meaning. The boat will carry 
the wreaths for the wilting words.

A Poem

A poem, like death-was 
unpredictable. You wait for it, 
it does not come. 
 
Then you drag a corpse 
on stones to find its home 
which never materializes. 
 
You give me a hurt. I 
become mute. Very shy 
to accept the verbatim. 
 
How different we are 
in alikeness. I touch you in twilight 
of life to become one. 
 
And from daily life 
I gather the pain, to print 
the version of tomorrow.

10+3 BOXES

I DID EVERYTHING EVEN YOU DIDN`T ASK ME FOR.
DANCING ON MY MOTION GRAVE,
SMILING TO MY ANIMAL FACE.
DYING DOG ON YOUR WHISTLE OF EXPECTATIONS.
SO DRUNK OF LOVING YOU THAT I FORGOT;
FORGOT WHO I AM AND WHERE I `M GOING TO.
LOST LID OF MY DETERMINATIONS AND...
FAITH.
BEING SEEN THROUGH YOUR GLASSES,
I`M NOT WHAT YOU REALLY SEE.
REAL DAYS ARE FOR MY SCREAM FOR DIE;
DIE FOR GET TRUE FROM YOUR.
YOU BEING AWAY AND YOURSELF...
I ACCEPT YOU BETRAYED ME.
LIED AND HAPPY BEING YOUR SLAVE.
RUNNING AWAY IN...TELL ME MY LOVE WHERE I`AM?
SACRIFICE

"One Last Chance"

 
 
 
It's my last chance to convince you.. that "rainbows aren't just rain"..
And sometimes when we sacrifice.. there's so much more to gain,
Knock down all the walls you built.. and let my heart come in..
Feed to me my hearts desire.. for what its always been,
You still take my breath away.. as you did the day we met..
And the fire still burns beneath my skin.. as does my hearts regret,
I've waited for so long for you.. with hopes you'd someday see..
A friend who's always cared for you.. and what you mean to me,
I just want to look at you.. and tell you what I feel..
Before so much time has passed away.. that I never will,
One last chance to touch you.. before my heart lets go..
One less dream to fly away.. with love I'll never show,
To have you feel what I can't say.. to lay my hands on you..
To show my heart without one word.. is what I need to do,
To look into those deep blue eyes.. that take me far away..
Or dream of what could never be.. as you ask me to stay,
One last chance to cool the flames.. that have raged inside for years..
One last chance to turn the page.. and put an end to tears.
