When I wake up
With you by my side
A tough day it will be…
To let go of a dream
With nothing to hold on
A rough life it will be…
Waiting for #amorous moments
Like those we never had
A bud plucked and tossed…
We are the lines lost
In nothingness
An idea incomplete

My wife has shifted to another bedroom.
For the kids, I am an outsider.
They do not even want to listen to me. The silence #sonorous.
Yes, the creep was one of my best friends. I might have suspected what he was-is like.
But,
what did I do?

"Stare at the #azure
And avoid the wreck beneath."
#Evergreen love's ad.

We met at the café, near the church,
Where lovers meet for sin,
I mean, for appam and stew.
She knew what I meant,
A chaperon stood #sentinel,
It was a tight fit at the table for two.
In life,
That drag through muck of tedium,
The haphazard promises a rare jig.

We moved closer. I held her head. My fingers got #entangled in her hair. She had one arm around my shoulder and another tightly around my back. I could feel her breasts against me. Thinking back, is it possible love or deep affection would have made it any different?

"To answer that, one has to #extrapolate. For that, one has to know about the topological defects in a space with dimensions decided by care, uncertainty, lust..."
"All that for: do you love me?"
"Yes."
"Yes what?"
"I love you. Btw, the defect is a boojum."
"Aargh!"

It’s weird
A dream might be a dream of a dream.
Was my love
A mirage of a fanciful concept?
I could have tried reality
But that’s fiction to #placate (or provoke).
Did I cry about a loss
To keep a memory not mine?
It’s weird
I lost you when you might be me.

At the Job Mart, a dozen ladies checked me out.
"Recite 'Howl'."
"Impersonate Stallone in 'First Blood'."
"Cook coq au vin."
One brought out her cheque book.
"Drop your pants. Reveal your OS."
All I got was a #torrent of expletives.
What's wrong with my best part?

"Festive times are #abysmal."
"Season for the haves, depression for the have-nots. For the rich, for those with close ones, for the veggie..."
"Oh that. I was thinking of murder. It's too easy now. Who will miss you? Not even when you are served."

#HappyOnam (belated)
I'm busy preparing for the Common Service Interview.
It's not easy to master:
(a) the poker face: to get a bribe;
(b) the serial-killer mentality: to treat the needy;
and
(z) the godman aura: to make the other believe in maya (to think one succeeds when one #fails).

Today, the topic of discussion in our book club was a DM we got from a reliable source.
“X’s marriage is asexual.”
I was contributing to that when we were interrupted by a notification. The others got an update.
“Oops, it’s not X, it’s Zee.”
“Zee, plzzz #continue.”

"Arjun, with women, you still hop on one leg. And that guilty look! You are over 50, man!"
"You have a leak in your #attic, Swapna. You too haven't changed. With men, you act as if that species is better extinct."
"I now know that's a fact. I too am over 50."
"Bah!

There's the forest around
Inviting me within,
There's the thoughts of old love
Soothing and seductive,
There's the void you can fill
Creating fantasies,
There's the harsh ugliness
Breaching the barricade,
Without #rhyme or reason
Marring sedate slumber.
#vss365
I said, "Let's #begin..."
She kissed and made love to me.
Soliloquy's death.
