why am i silent

 

why am i silent

about...


the list is too long

the excuses are quite good

no inconvenient #promises to dodge


is it to...


that too is obvious

everyone understands


i have got to 


change


and learn 


how to 


use punctuation


when I am no longer


silent


but 


then...

But...until...

 

A black #onyx charm

Protects my soul, heart and mind.

Until seppuku.

collateral damage

 

"Sorry," He said.


"Me too," The Other said.


For their soldiers, it was just another #skirmish over ideology. 


"Sorry?" I said.


"You should have been the collateral damage," He said.


"Not your love," The Other said.


I left God, Devil and their crew to be all alone.

Guilt the Constant

 

The shadow of guilt,

Perennial and unchanging.

Primal force #rooks life.

In Between Fighters

 

A man is beating his wife. She refuses to cower before him, getting up like a nearly KO-ed #boxer, giving back with a guttural hoarse tongue. 


A young man in the gathering crowd approaches them. To help. The wife turns on him. The crowd laughs. Cheers for the fighters.

risqué

 

Even pundits in the #realm of online dating would call our chat risqué:


-Can’t wait.

-Same here.

-Come. 

-There?

-Kitchen's ready.

-Prefer kitchen?

-Where else?


There, her mom opened the door. “She told me to take her place.”


Pleasure-filled hour. 


Cooking biriyani.

Swapna

 

Why did I waste life

For a dream girl who said bye?

To lose, to find #self.

end too late

 

it is tough to be in the middle of the road 

not knowing not wanting to cross to either side 

it is a stranger world out there 


status quo is better 

waiting to be crushed  


“End of #someone, 

end too late.”


forever in the middle


should i cross

trustworthy

 

Joined an online matrimonial site. 


My proposal: “Looking for a trustworthy companion.”


I got declined even before I swiped right.


Contacted the admin about the #glitch. 


The reply: “You have been blocked – trustworthy people do not look for trustworthy companions.”
