bearable lightness of being

 

These days, I heed not

#Bearable fickle nature.

Flimsy relations.

the ghost

 

Can you see the ghost

Standing there at that window

Blocking not the dusk-lit corridor

Staring at nothingness

Or is it a reflection

Of me and an unsure past

That technicolour #wrapper

An empty waste not discarded?

symmetry breaking

"Long long ago,

Before the #constellations were born,

There was love."

"BS"

"Ain't joking,

The sequence of symmetry breaking,

Needed care."

"WTF"

"The Big Bang,

Definitely not a one night stand,

Work of art."

"Your 3-9-3 syllable structure has given me a headache."

Shut up, my love

 

#vss365 

It was late evening, still one hour away from home, where the green backwater lakes are barely separated from the blue frothy sea by a thin shimmer of brown sand, when the British guy started to sing.

 

I could hear his voice across those separating walls. #Bass voice, not really a good singer, using an old style, a mixture of Bob Dylan or Al Stewart or Cat Stevens. Along with the chug-chugging train, the rickety-rackety beat of wheels on tracks, the evening birdsong and the rush of cool air from outside, he sang in bursts, with pauses while cooking up those lines I suppose, but clear and slow.

 

Nothing great but I still tried to catch each word with the guilt and delight of a voyeur and an eavesdropper. Grasping, gasping, grappling...for life...with life...

Theory of love:

#Happenstance and catalyst

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...

#vss365

But...until...

 

A black #onyx charm

Protects my soul, heart and mind.

Until seppuku.

The shadow of guilt,

Swapna

 

Why did I waste life

For a dream girl who said bye?

To lose, to find #self.

Chose amnesia

To numb the pain of #hiraeth.

There are shades of grey

In democracy. Darkness

It's beauty that hurts

 

It hurts to see beauty

with eyes that run dry.

A collage envelope:

a fettered body below azure calm,

tormented by sunset,

you by my side,

strange #tranquility in between.

Darkness will rescue-

from feigning, from laughter,

from madness, from life.

It's beauty that hurts.

The you of yesterday

 

Can you recognize

The you of yesterday?

I had some answer

Which I forgot too fast.

It's scary, you know,

If you failed to love me.

Is fail the right word,

I failed, I know too well.

Now, when I have lost

Words for love and anger,

Stranger is partner,

The you of yesterday.

MO to fail

 

With much #astuteness,

A modus operandi 

To fail: shut out all.

That's like a hopeless prayer?

For example, #guide.

what's with them

 

what's with them

liking poetry

no twists in the tale

not even a cliff-hanger

it's not the brevity 

or life love lust

or ways to #slaughter

not even a romp in the sack

why do they lie #together

not ask a question

not in blank verse

not even in iambic whatameter

lost meaning

 

I heard "#Aloha"

And thought about its meaning.

Missed love #forever.
