are torched, murdered, 
next to them, 
the sweet dreams of lives...

NAUGHTY NEON NIGHTS

For few days between the shaking and shattering of my consciousness, 
The soft arms of Silence 
Wrap around my aching torso 
And pretend to soothe the ever-rapid
Battering of my heart. 

In those few days, 
Between...

1. This ole world is cavalcading escalading, towing down;
Falling down into the premises of unusualness;
Solid confines to the missions hell bent;
Loss in its shame, borrowing time;
Everyone everywhere is swallowing sin;
While the naysayers keep welcoming them...

And what do I say?
(Why don't I say more?)

But you say it to other girls too.
