Memories are expensive
spent on looking back
Unpaid moments lost in time
debts for what we lack
Overdue nostalgia
debiting supreme
Clouded statements left unrhymed
—mortgaging our dreams
(Dreamsleep: May, 2023)
Debiting the bank of time
—your dream my breath withdraws
(Dreamsleep: March, 2020)
Sun ray
Time is n't with me again and again
Becalm till dawn; I can't say
There is dim hope of sun ray
Quivering earth jarred me everyday
Becalm till dawn i can't say
thunderbolt upraised with lightening
Blemished castles made everyone panicking
Can't allocate anything countless
Aches., clamor collectively odious
womb of mothers with departed fetus
puddles of lake over bloomed lotus
lap of mother got barren
debiting successor adhering lone
no tears, only vacuum, nowhere to stay
becalm..., till morning i can't say
