already ghosts

 

I remember my first glass of #champagne.

That too with strawberries and such. With her.


"Can I just have 7up and French fries?"

"I was going to suggest the same."


We didn't curl up in front of a fireplace.

We were nude and happy. And already ghosts.

lost meaning

 

I heard "#Aloha"

And thought about its meaning.

Missed love #forever.

we are both, aren't we?

 

"How did you like the trip?"


"Overrated places. Where was Romance?"


"The #quintessence of honesty, you are." 


"What's with those statues? Men with small..."


"Went with your spouse?"


"Huh?"


"It was ok for me. With my lover."


"Forgotten we are both, huh?"


"But..."

no response no future

 

When you don't respond,

I hear your disapproval. 

#Critique: no future.

doubt

 

Without an #iota of doubt.

That's all I wished for from love. 

One wish too many.

bonding

 

I tried a dating site called Bonding.


In the bio-data, it asked


'#Element of:';


'Nothing', I said, of course.


People refused to swipe right on me.


I tried to change my bio. But I could not. I wrote to Customer Support. They replied: 'How can you bond?' Fair enough.

an empty room with all


It is an empty white room. He must have seen doubt on my face.


“Did you expect gods and demons? Or, deities and symbols with stories? Or, a #mirror to reflect the inner good or evil? Here, the power of the mind will do. Some call it insanity. Some call it black magic.”

actions

 

Did he not assume his thought and feeling outweighed all,

On that day he twisted facts, ignored truth and incited a #riot?

Why did I assume it mattered what I thought

And forgot that my action mattered most?

the one in the middle

 

For them, #elf_glory

must have been the light at the 

end of the tunnel. 


Just another traffic jam. 


But, in 30 minutes, 37 dead. 


It's the work of a god pissed off with all, they say.


The latter I am. The former? Hahaha if that's what you call the one in the middle.

a memory lost

 

I am the living dead to them. 


My eldest #sibling is a Dean in a famous University. The other is a doctor.


They avoid me now.


My father too. He used to talk about his third kid when I was rich and successful. Now, I'm a memory lost.


No point reminding people of that.
