A year is gone

Cough
Your toddler is getting married

Yawn
You are in a nursing home

Yes
It is that fast....

Smile is my essence
      Many remark as serene
        Hides painful fears
     Thus  blink away my tears 
      Self dignity my precious...

The truth of the matter, 
and what matters I ponder
a blink away from escape
lost to a timeless lucid state
prehaps timeless upon timeless
though not to be remembered 
but I have felt and seen before
How quick do i forget?...

Just see
           Your future comes quick
  When you’re not looking you’ll find
                        Tomorrow
       Is less than just a blink away
        It will come and go like that
                          Beware

Please leave behind a candle born 
to blink away dark of night..
as stars give way to distant morn,  
please leave behind a candle born. 
Though night voices call out forlorn,     
and timid few choose garish light..   
please leave behind a candle born- 
to blink away dark of night....

Tomorrow's just 
    a blink away.
And, yesterday
    was once today.
Time moves on
    in spite of all.
Where, once was spring
    has now turned fall.
And, seldom does
   youth understand,
What age has seen
   pass through it's hand.
Eventually,
    we all do learn,
With time comes change
    and tables turn.

I fear it. 

I shake when his lips 

descend down my neck.

I tremble when his hands

travel down my blouse.

I fear it.


I hate it.

I blink away tears as his voice

moans and grunts down my ear.

I fight back the scream as his fingers

journey under my skirt.

I hate it.


He takes me,

eyes unseeing, he's unaware.

He uses me,

body tense, in this love affair.

He loves me.


I stay silent....

Shouting loud, screaming down 
I was alone on the ride with
terrible sound.                       
Laughing out, whispering down
He came around.

I hugged him tight,
Like a baby did when he was fright.
He took me in his arms,
Like he was mine.

Suddenly wind started,           
 blowing our way.
I feared of loosing him..
With a ray to never go again so far



"Wake up baby "mom said 
N I realised it was just a dream....

i only wanted a try
or two, but i did three, four, 
five and more…
until my thoughts,
body, and soul were trapped
by the x and y of desire

i wandered alone
in the dreary glen, where cold and 
tears were a blink away…

i only wanted a try 
or two and promised myself  
i’d not taste again, but 
i hardly said 
goodbye, adieu, ciao to a drug-crazed life,

until one day i read 
the headline: teen died, dancing 
in the tune of devil’s harp...

GLACIAL
Scent of lilies. 
His pain over, mine just begun.
I caressed those hands, gifted, loving.
Kissed his waxen brow.

A blink away from the dying sun,
the ignition key trembled.
I half-expected to waken, 
clasped in his arms. Soothed 
back to life, on the mourning  air. 

Our silent house stood strong, 
and healthy,
ticking away lonely hours and empty nights.
While I flinched from the glacial steppes,
of our marital bed.
