A Malang


Wearing a robe of broken alphabets
In the eyes filled to brim
with orange bangles in my hands
cracked enough to hold thunder of
Sentence lacking story
Decorating a jaded smile on lips
Like a famine struck sun
and walking with anklets of burnt moths
Which has snuffed out the last candle of my town
Bare feet and empty spirited
Like a moonless sky
I swirl with the beat of wild wind
Still you say
You have not consumed me?

Writers Block

Duveted inside the blanket of silence
In the hub of smog
Hush ... Dear thoughts 
Do not come near
In enormous peace they sleep
For his pores have caressed
My unharnessed words....

No Union, No Partings


I have made a quick exit to the sky                                          
 Fleeing from the thunderclap of Your world       
 I have pursued down the streets of my barren solitude                                                      
 To beckon only Your memories.                     
 and setting the clamor of the voices mute                                 
Away from the people of Your land                                            
Miles apart from the continents of your sand                                                
I stroll the boulevards of my Sky                                                
 Amid the darkness, I admire watching                
 the glow worms burning into fireworks over your bosom                                                           
 I have gone to the sky                                        
So not to blacken your sweetly scented rivulets                                                                           
Not to keep you choking in nostalgia's foggy blankets                                                            
But to live like a lunatic holding an immortal  craving of You                                                          With those infinite moments  of present which never turn to past.                                  
And far-sighted future ensuring no meeting of our shores.                                                                       

 I have gone to the sky                                       
Yes Leaving you behind                                      
With no union                                                    
 Can You and I                                               
Ever be separated ?

Wave after wave
The golden powder of sun's rays
Draws oe'r fleecy billows
lying by the side of diamond laden Willows
The Letters which the moon wrote
for the impish tides of the Sea
All those initials of love singing alphabets
Are common to the language as my own
Ah...the Post man sky keenly plays the tricks
to keep me chained in the middle of it's memories
