A Letter On the Desktop
My parent left me their home when they passed, in much needed-repair.
I restored the attic into an office, hugging bookcases against the walls.
Aging darken ember, creaking wood floor that had been left bare.
A musty odor still lingers in the old leather bound books.
I'll always have both my parents in my heart and will preserve my

A Letter On the Desktop
Folded neat a letter sleeps,
Paper has leant ear to pen,
Whispered ink slowly seeps,
Blood red blue in steady hand,
Those stabbing words so neatly planned,
Promise not if, but when.
Now the burning eye sweeps,
Through a letter on the desktop again,
While the heart behind blindly weeps.
Another hourglass losing sand,
Love choked by the wedding band,
This is now,

A Letter On the Desktop
A letter lies collecting dust
upon the corner of my desk,
like dead leaves on the winter’s crust.
‘Twas written by her years ago,

When love was young, our hearts

Seems so clear today from as

My Desktop
Aug 2012
Chennai
From freshly showered wet,
to uncontrollable mess,
I need a hair tying thing
From oh such a jolly morning,
to what have I become,
Where have I come,
You keep staring at me
Under the silk bandana
above the red muffler
Soft pink lips, glowing skin
With that faint sad smile
the lack of sparkle in your eyes
Tired of me, still tied
You keep staring at

My Cluttered Desktop
My desktop is as cluttered as my brain:
Lens cleaning wipes, two Handshake vouchers,
Visa receipts, envelope that contains
Tickets for a tragedy by Shakespeare
Outrageous fortune
And a thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to
ARTix passport containing free coupons
For music, the theater, film and dance,
HP inkjet print cartridge that I won
With an old bingo 50-50 chance
Death of a salesman
Loman’s
