life smells of chocolate syrups
run down my lips, patchy networks
of fun…
life stinks of a rotten egg, boiling
inside for ages at a time
life flies away like the smoke from
the incense,
life is all and yet nothing..
of faded …

In my horoscope, as my friend’s astrologist father once said, there are hints about my bone system being weak.I should have pumped in a lot of calcium, now if milk in the tea accounts for calcium intake …

I could see them all
without their smiles
I would smile for them
that leering crack on my lips
I would hover above
but they won’t see
they would cry
and I would be
alone, above..happy
Its all over for me
so you see
I can …

I  could lie
in the face of my love

He just walked away
no goodbyes or words
to tell me this is where
its gonna end,
nothing……just left me
in the cacophony of my own breath
following him, at his footsteps
beckoning to say
beckoning to end
for a closure, rightly deserved
the lack …

I walked
out into the pour
so that my tears I didn’t know
amongst the droplets that
washed my face.
I sobbed out of ache
but the rain muted my cries
passer bys hurried past
like life and I remained.
That’s when I saw, a butterfly
in the …

I love John Abraham, he is an absolute hunk. But getting to see him talking about how he takes care of his skin ,i.e make/keep it fair,left me a bit perplexed…whatever happened to the Tall …

She lay there
for the world to see
she lay there
for all of us to be.
Torn like her clothes
she lay there in a shredded
world
we walked past her
you & me
Hand in hand,smiling
and not seeing,
I pretended, so did you
she …

Silly breezes, caressing my nape
like tiny ripples of love
sensations churning inside me
and I’m floating like a leaf
happily fallen from the rut
called tree…and I float
forlornly…caressed by the four
winds, taking me somewhere
where I’m meant to be. Down
the …

Sleepless and drenched
homecomings, none welcoming
mushy train rides
hidden passions
cozy warmth of air conditioned
compartments
whence his hand met mine
I revolved in time
with the train swishing past all
that held us apart
we held each other
and the train took us to …

Someone asked me to smile
just a twitch of lips he said
I twitched &turned, but he didn’t call
it a smile. I blinked and wondered
have I forgotten how to smile!
I saw them around, every lips twitched
none frowned, simply creased …

Frothy tea
hissing at my lips
as I quiver to some stranger’s
humane looks
I would do it again
jumping off the cliff
when eyes are turned elsewhere
I would fly down to somewhere
below a 1000 feet,where none
had ventured, I would throw
myself to …

like the sparkle
of that millionth bit of glass
that shredded when you stoned
the glass house of my life
i died in that cataclysmic rupture
but my life lives on,walking the earth
like zombies, entering your dreams
on sleepless nights, when …

Butter paper dreams
Sunny walkways
Smiles at random
Hands that hold
Chocolates melting on Pavements
Kids running on bubbled Courtyards,
Rainbows coming down to My door step
Kitchen plants blinking In sunlight
Puppies scrambling
, as we hUg In love,
day & night
My butter-paper dreams
Sure …

Lost
in the wilderness of my dreams
beasts lurking in darkness
serpents crawling giants
I wander, alone
lost in the nightmares of
my dreams. Foot in in front
of foot, I walked to nowhere
from no one.
No moon shone, no stars
blinked…………if darkness had …

Like us, even our pets, especially dogs are averse to visiting docs. I remember one such incident when I had to take my Labrador for a check up. Its so true, about dogs and premonitions. Popeye …
