Inordinate memories
Cause a racing
akin to a heartache
Subdued thoughts
threatening to go burst
Rush forth
Overwhelmingly sly
recounted many a times
Erase, delete …unsafe
A shared secret…
Igniting imaginary tales for… monks
grisly Cloaked
Heart amending
needs no probing
Stirred yearnings
suppressed; in recess
devoid of access
A paralyzing battle deeply fought
A final closure though richly sought
Must not the lid to the abyss fraught
Lest the gains be lost in seeking the spoils

When the dust settles
We weed out the charlatans
A breath of fresh air

Gradual withdrawal;
He was unloving me
Breaking my heart,
Unlearning his feelings
for me
Hardening his shell
Blurring the memories
of us
Building walls
It was invincible;
I was vulnerable
Shutters fall; Heart shut
Eyes wide open,
Unseeing.
I’m here.
From a distance,
maintaining a façade
afraid of losing control
What we shared was passionate
What I felt was unbridled,
Unflinching, pure love
Unacceptable by our circumstances
Hard not to fall again
Beware the Achilles;
the last time was a tug…
of war… the flesh won
The will not so worn
Some things in life are fleeting.
Thief of my heart;
he came
invaded my hut
Basked in my love,
Left me wondering…

Inexplicable emptiness
myriad of unanswered queries
Ensnared in your web
unending fall into oblivion
Blindfolded, hands flailing;
a fleeting tabloid
Frantically rummaging
seeking for grasp of light
in a place of dryness
A handsome abode
where warmth is taboo

Mischievous banter
October to remember
Adam took a bite

Nature’s fury whirl
Tornadoes rage displaces
Slowly we awake

Ebbing memories,
blurry landscapes, cold shoulders
Tough resolutions.
Fleeting kiss, of waves and shores
Home, elusive and distant.

I choose to embrace
Nature’s benevolence
and savor in silence,
Her deafening opulence.

Closure heals the soul
The torture of darkness paralyses
Floating, waiting, … suspended
A feast of thoughts,
Harvest of emotions,
A seed is sown
Silence shatters
the essence of communion
Happiness is sacrificed
in the altar of self-importance
singed, threadbare
Time is thrown to the wind
Break the thread
In a bid to raise the trophy
Prove what ultimately?
Relearning the ropes
A page is lost; shortened thread
Doubts mushroom
This pain is real
