Your face over candles and crystals
Your scent I smell, stick on murals
Finger prints of you over metals
Turning hard to soft like petals
I saw you kneeling when you prayed
Behind you was I and stayed
I can hear your soft voice unafraid
Wishing for a cat unbraid
The candles you litted inside the church
Served as my lights when you left
Your shoe prints on the aisle I search
Vanished like air without a cleft
I sat down for a while
Wishing you would come back
Minutes later you came back
Walking like Immortal over the scratched aisle
Middle aisle of the church so old
With you turning anything like gold
Your prayers are like magic so bold
Reviving with warmth everything around so cold
My immortal is in you that calls
My body and soul that falls
Wished you can be mine someday
Dreaming you're all mine all day!

Betrothed,
Please don't come to the college campus
In a rosy costume like a blooming red rose,
I feel bad.
Don't move on the corridors with your swan walks
Being surrounded by your friends
Like a Moghul princess, I feel bad.
Betrothed,
Forming whirlpools in your blush red cheek
Nodding red jaw and sharp tongue
Waving snow white slim hands
Please don't tiptoe on the yard
Like strings playing on the guitar
My heart pounds, pebbles create longitudinal waves
in my chest pond.,water tremble within
I feel sad.
Betrothed,
During tiffin hour sitting in the common room
Don't unbraid your long black hair
Like Radha ilike a naughty rivulet
The limitless sky may be covered with dark clouds
All the neon bulbs may go out of order
I don't like to use simile for you
Where's you, where is the black clouds.
Betrothed,
Don't put your two scarlet lips
in the cup of hot tea in the cafeteria .
The flowery garden of tiny lips may wither
in the scorching sun.
Thirsty greenery may burn like a desert.
I desire to die hard.¦

Friday is the day to let out your hair
To unleash your freak, to dance without care
Friday is the day to look forward to five
To unbraid your mind, to increase your “alive”.
Friday is the day to dance in the street
To laugh with your friends, to be your best freak
Friday is the day to make yourself into a whirling treat.
To be yourself totally, to unleash your adventurous streak.
Friday, Friday, Friday, Friday, why can’t you be every day my friend?
The joy would ooze out of us, it might overtake us and never end.
But then would we love it as much as we do right now?
Get out of my way, and I will show you how….
To make every day feel like a tiny bit of Friday.
It is easy to do. Just follow your heart and play.

End comes surely,
Now lost at sea;
Rest feels sleepy,
Opt peace that frees;
Unbraid old woes,
Toils of these shores,
Enter and go.
New light feeds core,
Obtain fond ease
Within a place;
Hidden in peace,
Exult fine grace;
Rest in sweet balm,
Explore soul calm.

Brief music chimes,
Echoes you hear;
Yes feel the times,
One choice seems clear;
Note glimpse of death,
Drift of no time.
Dense dying breath,
Ebb of sure rhymes;
Lie down to know,
In a last dance;
Reach to last glow,
Indulge one chance;
Unbraid the soul,
Meet a new whole.

The Unbraiding
Had he seen the psychiatrist then,
nine years and six children ago,
he’s certain the doctor would have said,
“Never mind whether you should marry the girl.
That’s not the question.
Go home and go to bed.
Come see me next Tuesday at ten.
We’ll begin to unbraid you.”
