I awakened from the bed suddenly,
It was a hot summer night, I was disturbed by kur, kur sounds highly, I tried to sleep again, right,
But I couldn't do it really,
And I searched the sound, where did it come from simply?, Atlast, a wall cock was found,
Which lived in a locked almirah, I kept a naphthalene ball in it, I never heard the sound again, harrah, And slept the night like a socklet.

Immaculately vacuumed
purified from century-old
h i b e r n a t i o n
of naphthalene balls’ seal…
Here am I transformed…
exuding sweet freshness
as opalescent heirloom
so grandly a d o r n e d
with white rose petals
ready to w e l c o m e…
… the blissful v i r g i n
for her blest bridal march
while orchestra plays...
"G O D L O V E S* M E."
*2Thessalonians 3:5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

From the cedar closet she reached
for a bundle. Holding her breath,
she pushed her head through, pulling down to her torso.
Scattering moths as she walked through the hallway
Breathing only on the front end of her stride.

separated graves
ash dispersed glances
and
three times bounced of the chest
my sin
my sin
my sin
reactions are governed by biometeorological forecast
and it happened
somewhere has failed
they took the suits out of naphthalene
turn on the microphones
having a desire to find warmness
and voice to made the lullaby
for bringing back to him
a child's dream
somewhere has failed
it always fails somewhere
he
collects the toys she bought him
only to keep her close
at least until falls asleep

Everything is creased & kept
In right place & order
To avoid even a particle of dust.
But all worms
Are not devised to
Die before a naphthalene.
The dead narcissus,
The spittle of wind on windowpane,
The half-empty dish of rice
Beside the folded mattress
Make me return & recall
The days of nursery school,
The lesson of my favorite farmer.
His corns would come & store themselves magically !
Flying out of ancient hearth
Gods & dogs
Gift me
The vessel of ashes.

The girl shouted for joy in the middle of the velvet full moon.
The little dog barked twice interrupting the high-handed act of argument.
How many words will describe the perfect purification as we proceed to knavery?
"I must run to her before it is too late"my heart was singing repeatedly.
I relapsed when i saw her acting in the theatre of sobs,in front of thousand pearls.
I blessed all this time i was struggling,tried to bring myself to life.
How many times i had to apologize when her majesty sparkled into the dark?
I tried the e4 move once to estrange the defense of her black pieces.
The girl started to cry as the final stroke with a brush blinded the canvas again.
She saw her long golden hair dancing among the colors of omnipotence.
How many architects may manufacture the texture of her smile?
She wrapped me up with her wet deep eyes,burned me with her mind.
"I have to tell you girl, that my best friend is naphthalene."
"Ssssss....My name is Friendemy.Don't worry.Be my best friend not my best
enemy".
Suddenly the girl disappeared and i alone face the discouragement.
Today,tomorrow and the day after.
