Strange Love

DownUp +1

How many times I’ve told you
That I really do love you
How many times you’ve said to me,
“You trust me with all your life.”

But why you always ask
As if it’s an important task,
If you could ever imagine
How vast is my love,
I think you’d be speechless.

Do you think it is funny
To question every word I say?
I now begin to doubt your love
If it would last for a day.

Yes, I have known you
Over a short period of time
But it doesn’t mean
You are out of the range.

It sounds crazy I guess
But I love you always
Because you give meaning
In my miserable life.

You give me a bright smile
And the love I always admire
I know, darling, you are worried
But I’m here to make you understand.

I won’t bring you any pain
I promise you’ve so much to gain.
Please, listen to me now.
I’ll love as long as you want me too.

I love you, you’re the air that I breath
And that’s absolutely the truth.

There was a portrait under the landscape.
Whispering of clouds,
writhing body and
tense folds.

The sorrows hold out
a veiled threat.
Mortality itself will finish the epic abstraction?
I am not sure, and then the fog rises.

Afraid of flames –
a man was burning alive in inferno,
the red blooms of serial blasts.
A hairy bigfoot runs through the passions.

The fractured faith scatters wild words
like childhood screams.
The very living was night of kills
a freedom in movement of time.

The visible was most
invisible.

Watching the moon
through veil.

A bomb explodes
in your hands.
The poem wavers-

and then falls on dew.

This was not bone-green;
original,
not a fake cloud –

to kiss the feet
of a burning god.

It was natural conjugation
between enemies.

Best of Friends

DownUp +5

Band leader of 99%
Everyone loves to hear you sing
Nice to have a friend like you
Jackson 7 fun’s club founder
And my director, fashion adviser
My father, brother, best friend
I miss eating fried chicken
Now that we can no longer have food trip together.

Helping each other finish each other sentences
Enjoys each other’s company
Just like playing PSP, Xbox and FB games
Always loves to drink Iced tea
Sometimes you’re late playing Casino games
Thank you for teaching me how to play slot-machine
Remember that I’m here for you
Over with our charitable work but our friendship will last forever.

Devil’s Realization

DownUp 0

O flamingo, your pink is fading.
Pick up the spirulina, it was caste-based.
It hits there, where it hurts more.

You were chasing, standing on one leg
salt was dwindling in the lake.
The stink unlike you is going to stay.

I am learning the hard way, the
blue island of ice is staying with a thread.
A sweet flesh comes from the mountain from other end.

Whose gold was melting now?
Sucking the milk tinged with blood?
Breasts are shrivelling in monoxide.

Crisscross

When speed overtakes you, incision on
black marble crashes. Before the moonrise
your bygone sister falls in your arms
crying.

Babydeath had jumped from the second
floor to meet the earthquake of icy
forgetfulness in wild fire. A landslide
wanted to know, who was to be blamed?

Wind is split on two counts.One was
the lazy sun and second were the clouds
in absence. An evil eye has a theme of
breeding resentment of withdrawl from a romantic hug.

Tossed in a deathbin, a snail tries to
climb on a hot wall of bonelight.

Dark Language

Wanted to wear the grief uncrying,
sitting on the bank, counting the waves,
watching the swaying of earthen lamps.

There was a little water on the moon,
charged atoms settling in the lap of a sponge.
The water becomes the moon,
floating on goat’s milk.

My descent starts to find the truth.
Where the water has gone from the eyes?
The mirrors always tell the lie.

The headless body writhes in the dust,
words change the author of a murder.
A crowd finds a knife only.

Once again a century weeps!
