POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Rinse
the pool grows
Discolors the black couch
slipping beyond spelling mistakes.
gets sucked in
nine air Molecules
jumpstart
and close
shut Down
jump

shut

lotus petals pork ribs
nWe ink in the fountain pen nib
aching hipscracking knees
shaking fingers and lotus
lotus
don't Read me
cruMPle me
on my way to your waste basket.

Fireflies and cream
A land where mysticity and beer flow in unison
A dress drooping down a left breast doesn't get enough teeth
Glances pour through the psyche like a firefly tail
And legs, their edges can puncture the liver with psychotic patience.
Once upon a time, a Sudanese toddler crawled through sands,
rolling down a vulture's motionless eyeballs
the remnant of the story dismembered itself before completion...

Creases
I try to scrape the tick-tocks mumbling near
Locked eyes of undecipherable art
A disobedience begins to part
webbed-footed throbs,opacity of years ,
And weight of creases left on empty couches--
They sit on Saturday's mute office space,
change lazy channels on TV.I gaze
At the view beyond the fourth-floor glass
and land on the hood of a car,
miraculously Alive, in my mind, ...

Cupidity
I love to listen to you
How you hate your work
The puddle of mud your life's become
I love listening to you
That's why I keep praising you with my silence
I have bumped into pretty faces once in a while
That stripped the judgement down to
a sculpted frame, a hint of cuteness and a prospect of riches
Maybe,in this moment,their shoes will fit my sole.
You are not pretty enough for me
you're better off being the burden
moving my pen tonight.

A whiteboard and some marker pens.
I did not cry when they sent me to a boarding school
But other kids down there used to
I did not cry until one day.
When my hostel-warden chose to savor the experience of whipping me. My
Eleven-year old limbs went rolling with the rest of me on the corridor.
But in the next five long years, I learnt to deal with that type.
She was allowed to meet me
Every second and fourth Sunday of the month.
Two hours in the afternoon. Quite the...

Paper Roses [edited]
This Yellow glow on a
night street throws guesses at
its neighbor, if he would
fold
a tight-lipped substance of
abuse, its chilled contours
an S in his compass needling accidental poles;
Should he clip sleep now to
the maria of his bedtime spheroids? Should he tear their sails? or maybe Welcome the
Parentheses perched on
his window sill that prod
those paper roses: “Pierce,
Into layers and their cousins and their continents of...

Warmth
I have a sore on my toe
That I press on the wall sometimes.
Having it scream, And throb
to beats fast and slow
Is a certainty beyond the lies of wine,
A certainty that warms my bloodstream.

Is a certainty beyond the lies of wine,

Insomniac ramblings
a)
I found a raft today
to perch this dissatisfaction on.
It's time I spent some of my savings
on a blend of Thora Birch's America.
(Does it seem I care what you think?)
b)
I walked the deserted road at midnight
Hoping to get mugged; its funny
how boredom can get you drugged
making you the lamb of a wicked rhyme.
(No,I won't be a toy of your kink.)
c)
Sleep can't be saved in a draft unless ...

Boyish flames
Grains of sand
Roll over her glossy prime
Inadvertently disclosing strips, tasteless (at times).
Eager Canines and their shameless lips
Heap all their nickels, and dimes they prize.
Sahara is thirsty; phalanges fight restless themes.
“Wear your contacts, show me the green eyes.
Be the smoke of a ticking dream.”

Another day, another night
he drew the blinds
and wondered how would
this frame course through
the impatience of routine motion.
he'd rather fall off great heights into the lap of thin spaces
like the skydivers do..
-- somebody's gotta teach him how to do that.
there's air that's not been smelt
and buxomness yet to be pressed against
He'll drink to that
And maybe live too.

In sickness and death
I found your names on randomness
That made them damsels choose my chest.
Pores of a duplex blossomed base
I found your names on randomness
That oozed its white of blind distress
On naked Cyprus skin and death.

Candle light
I lit a candle
And saw my shadow
Staring back at me from the wall
I pondered what was so different between us..What made him
grow bigger than me even when I tried to move away...
then I found
A heart and a brain
Killing some time.
