Neat satin silhouettes
narrates a mundane tale
of tireless nights filled
with loops and knits
Days make sense
doing dirty chores
frantic zig-zag
of mood swings
Mischievous curves
embraces salty sweat
carnal desires rebuked
suffered a psychosis
Psychedelic talks
in realms of fantasy
burden of one ruby
ceases any chance
Refuged in verses
of random erotica
eerie silence
possesses sheets
Gaunt couch
joint residuals
Stale stench
hovers ceilings
echoes denial!!
My heart aches as
It bleeds drops of
crimson desires while
longing ,a decayed sepia
picture is preserved
in the cris-cross
chambers echoing
a comfort of your
lack, a cold warmth
in your stillness,
neat bed-sheets
narrate a tale of
extinguished fire,of
broken vows , no
” I love you’‘ or
ever “miss you’
may be it is a
curse that you
only exist in your
absence.
In all my innocence, I thought you will listen gently to
the beats of my heart, I cried and howled as I was
alone and scared I knew we both spoke different
languages but still put my trust because I yearned to
speak and liberate myself from the fear and the million
different voices in my head but you mocked and tried
putting few words of your choice in my mouth and shut
it forever while I suffocated and cried but silently because
you didn’t like the sounds of sobbing I made and now
you claim I am mad because,I only talk to winds and trees
and never seek your company, For the allegations of
lunacy, I’ve been accused so many times and stripped
of any shame and dignity, but I am happy , yes you
heard it right as happy as one can be and that’s my
only vengeance.
