RIP

 

On Sunday, we tried matrimony,

By Wednesday, it became a #kerfuffle,

The #vexatious part was over by Friday,

We now rest in peace, forever, separate.

nonsense

 

To utter or not, 

That's not the real problem

When it's #codswallop.

#haiku #senryu ?

Solitude's wrath

 

O wicked one! Why do you charm me so?

Life seems so light with its wish to join you,

But the gentle air alone caresses and beckons.

Memory slips away to that distant time

When with such a sight we delighted,

But now, your hand not in mine, I face Solitude’s #wrath.

2024 is 2023

 

2024 is 2023.

Just another name to give hope.

Woke up after a restless night. 

Cleaned. Read. Wrote.

Posted a true life story. 

Got less than 100 views. With likes less than 100% of that. 

Drove around town before lunch. Everyone seemed sleepy.

Slept till they called it 2025.

from '4% Deal'

 

At the Wedding of my Love

 

Stop! Raise your chaste lowered eyes,

On this altar feel as fever of forever need dies.

Burning our illicit love in that wedding fire,

Add blood, sweat, us naked raw to that #pyre.

Bid adieu to naughty love of life

I am now relation, my love, my wife.

 

Stop! Raise your chaste lowered eyes

You spies!

no time

 

It's unfair and sad

When there's no time to whisper

"your presence brings joy".

first lesson about love

 

I didn’t expect her to hit me. It was a hard slap.

“Stop thinking of her,” she said.

“She taught me how to love,” I said.

“My fool, what kind of #education did you have? Don’t you remember my first class about love?”

“What’s that?”

“Two is a crowd for ghosts.”

needy

 

Act I

He: I just want you to be with me.

She: Don’t be so needy for company.

Act II 

(Actors have aged by 4 years.)

She: You don’t even touch me anymore.

He: Didn’t you tell me not to need your company?

(Note to actors: Add #venomous tone where required.)

who lives here

 

When the train stopped at my place, one of the passengers wondered aloud, "What's the opposite of #otherworldly? This is it. Who lives here?"

When I got down, they must have stared at the shadows around me on the platform. And, wondered why I did not have a shadow.

him, not me

 

When she #accepted 

Him, not me, should I have thought

Anger, betrayal?

The #language of love

Taught me I should love her more 

Than he ever could.

She would then return 

To him with such hate for all-

What a daydream, no?
