Who should I blame,
The useless middle-class
Or the rich and powerful,
For these rules
And censorship,
All for my well-being?
Why do they rob
Me of that Mittyesque #euphoria
Those few moments
When I can have sex
And vengeance
And the bloody ohsoawful truth?

My autobiography in Ghibli form.
(Thanks to Ghibli & Grok)
Without my love
First love, on first date,
Saw my #velveteen undies.
Ne’er got to first base.
Moral of the tale:
Reveal one’s inner self for
Unrequited love.

"Seen this, Swaps?"
"What, A?"
"Today's headline is a #haiku.
Huge tariff on jokes.
Register to #canoodle.
Big Brother is Here."
"redruM."
"Don't get the second line."
"Can't find anyone?"
"Where should I register for a can of noodle?"
"We need you in politics."

I wish I knew a wise poet
To lay bare love.
She will hear out my tragic case,
Scoff at the acidic guilt burning,
"That alone keeps old love alive."
And, smirk at new love.
"Cream on stale cake to sate #desire.
Who wants to know
What we think
When we say
I love you."

"Arjun, why are you standing outside the Principal's office?"
"I erased the Thought for the Day."
"What did it say?"
"God is the tangential point between zero and #infinity."
"Why?"
"Dunno. Got too close to that point."
"I will stand with you."
"Oh."

how many times have I
stood like a fool
expecting
a bit of love
to leave with
nothing given
something taken
Mother says
it is worse for Her
not even expecting
a bit of decency
from her #guilty kids
to be left used
barren and dead

On #sempiternal love:
I forgot about you,
And I still
Call you my one love.
Is that the norm or not,
And that's me
Trying to evade.
I could generalize,
Find comfort
In ways to survive.
Let me state the obvious,
If there was
Another to love,
It would be the same tale,
Or will I
Remember you then?
#truestory
I asked a girl I liked
If I had abused her then,
"You were like all then."
We were bad in many ways
But we were good in trusting none,
"Ain't whitewashing what's done."
On a dark stormy night
Thought of the #cerulean sky,
"Dream on! Don't fight, say right's might."

March 16, 19--.
A day before her birthday.
We kissed. The first time.
October --, that year.
Said I love you. First and last.
She could not hear me.
Diary stays blank.
Was it an #interregnum
Between empty states?
But, I see beauty.
Like the tree with the lone bird
Reaching for the blue.
Can I hope and dream?
Should fatalism decide?
Should I fall further?

#haiku #senryu ?
"Tell me something that's funny and sad."
"Friends are people one can't love."
"What's sad about that?"
"There's something about them one hates so much."
"And, funny?"
"One rarely realises that."
"Like us."
"Knew you would #chime in with that. We are not pals."

The reunion triggered status anxiety (for us nearly 6 feet under).
Bruce Lee Raj used his walking stick as a nunchaku.
After 5 pegs of Old Monk, Wodehouse Cyril recited:
Winter will no more have snow white and #flocculent,
Love has left me a flagellant and flatulent.

Am I a dirty old man
If you and gods enter
My life only after dusk,
Can I defeat insomnia
Without that deceitful faith
In a togetherness,
Till then,
Lemme fit a #Pomeranian in a pome (Aargh!!!),
Lose battles before first cut,
Bluff with rhetorical queries,
Am I a dirty old man
If I feel you when gods smirk
At daydreams that were real.

"You are a coward, #incognito and all that."
"Not that. Just a nonentity."
"Bah!"
"After you left me, I became that. Not just invisible, so easily forgettable. That's for killing you."
"Bah!"

My first love was my own creation and she remained in the umbra.
The true one managed to put my consciousness in the #penumbra, enough light to love, dark enough to lust, b4 death.
Then came the love in the antumbra, never sure of the cause for the eclipse of the mind.
