when the sky hankers
to meet land, it disguises
as the nimbus cloud...

my pen utter words
my heart hankers to say, clinched 
thoughts inflict anguish
unless I whisper them through 
my pen, then I smile again…...

My heart feels heavy tonight

Old photos and memories

A steadfast emotional anchor

Yearning bygone days

Achingly longing for the lost

My soul sorrowfully hankers...

Anxiety chokes thought
Hearing murmurs of a chair
In a shadowed room
Some glimmers of secrecy
Hankers in this lonely end? 


For Rick Praise's contest:” Chair in a shadowed room...

feeble flesh feigned
rusty reels' reign
hoity hankers bled
porous pruning led
furious feast fetched
blind blitzkrieg belched

gaunt gifts gored
punctured pills pored
nocturnal nature bored

taunted trees moaned
callous crest cloned
damping drooling drone

eerie ends etched
callous catastrophe clenched.

pruned passions bled
clutching callous crest
felon fills fetched
dark dances decked
hoity hankers squashed
taunted thrills trashed

wet wits wanky
sassy sips sugary
nauseating nocturnal nitty

spanked syllables wept
drenching drooling depth
ballsy hollow belched

lusty length lent
porous punctures spent.

In nights when sun sleeps
And moon matters
When all sleep and we get up
In your memories, 
My eyes play with the sleep
Mind hankers for you, any how
I get the answer, thus, relief
That there she, too, will, be
Sleeping with her pillow
Her voice will also be low
She too wants me as I
Nights spend searching the answers
I get them In her bright eyes
When at morning she says Vishal! get up....

lout tout clout
pout mouth shout
draped zeal drooled
pruning punctured pool
hoity hankers hoisted
callous crescendos clothed

eerie passion pulsed
gaunt gifts gulped
tempestuous tongue touched

mystic rhythm moaning
busted, blitzkrieg cloning
muffled maladies glowing

dark dribbles damped
taunted thrills trashed.

dark dribbles drool
feigning freaks fooled
nocturnal nimble numbed
felon fits gulped
hideous hankers hoisted
callous crest cremated

porous politics punctured
moaning trends tortured
leering lanky leisure

pulpy pen pruned
sassy syllables sued
squashed bills bruised

la-de-da wits wrecked
haggard hymns decked.

porous pasts pumped
peered pulpy pump
bounty blitzkrieg bursts
leering lanky lurch
lusty lips lobbed
cremating callous cost

masticated memories moaned
trading taunted tone
salient liquid sown

eerie ocean etched
kaleidoscopic churn's cleft
tuning torpedo's trend

haughty horizon hankers
mocking Machli's bicker.

dark dribbles drooled
punctured passion puked
felon fate fumed
fiddling fostered fluid
hankers hoisted bled
cremating callous crest

three-eyed thrills tuned
cupping quatrain's clue:
gaunt guts glued

sassy days spent
rusty reels rent
jumpy judgement vent

thrashed quatrain thrown
into bottomless bow.
