of such terrible and ruthless, lusty 
characters of strong will;...

upon thy tender chest,
the beat of heart

Upon the undulations of this world, viscera of wandering silk,
Subtle, and their glimmer passes through impoverished rhetorics and lingering questions,

Hoping in a nameless...

where my father used to come,

Twilight brings him here,

He stands and watches,

Lost in the ambience,

Embraced by a presence,

He didn’t bother if I stared at him,

Or if I...

Memory erased, each time we begin anew

Of hands held tenderly, we’ve lost the score

Each embrace virgin like fresh morning dew 

 

To which image, oh dear soul, should...

Forgotten memories of childhood resurrect,
Layers of colorful events get, together, decked.
Adamant screaming continues till I got them,
They burst, oft, midway though each seemed a precious gem...!

That there exists a foredoomed concoction of our cerebral affairs

Angry words pushed down the drain,
Hate speeches take the exit door,
