When time stopped

 

When time stopped #creeping,

We said bye, stopped ignoring

When we thought we could.

zoophobia

 

"Ahoy Archimedes!"

"I didn’t shout Eureka."

"You are outside wet & nude."

"There’s a kitten in my house."

"Aren’t you expecting Whatshername?"

"She brought the kitten."

"Pussy galore."

"#Creep!"

"What caused this zoophobia?"

"Premature unrequited love affairs."

True love

 

Heliacal rise

Isn't seen when it pours. Like

True love in bad times.

from 'Buried Alive' (a vilanelle?)

 

Remain we will on slopes fragile, to skid

When rains will bring old plans disposed, #terror,

A day splendid to find a new god dead,

Buried alive in grave unmarked, my kid.

When love and desire play hookey

 

We could have loved each other

But there's no point raking up the past

With thoughts of ifs buts and rather than

Sober on a day overcast.

When love and desire play hookey

& there's bitter cold calculation 

In Loss 101 for a rookie,

It's cursèd #Martian education.

From 'Alone at Meeting Place'

 

On that day, I stood on this balcony with romantic daydreams of being a hero with the simple dilemma, and #energy, to live or to die for love.

The lady on the balcony next to ours climbed onto the railing and stretched out her right leg.

Storm in a teacup

 

"I want tea."

"No tea for you."

"Don't be a bore."

"I hate it when you pour tea from the cup onto the #saucer and then slurp it."

"Give it to me in a glass then."

"Sacrilege."

"You won't?"

"No.

"No steak for you."

"Don't be mean."

"And no..."

"Don't you dare."

top spot

 

So much to worry about,

Illness, apocalypse, etc.

But,

Today,

#HappyDiwali to all,

I think about that day,

You left,

28 years back,

But,

There's more,

Love, etc.

We didn't have much time,

But, 

It lasts, 

Forever,

No worry,

Ok, an #atom bomb, maybe,

Can beat that.

I avoid

 

I avoid the scatological.

From the poop stained great statues

To the filth that’s spread in god’s name.

I avoid love and poetry too.

From the aphrodisiac to the bitter end

From the sublime to the crass.

I avoid you.

From me

To you.

Poltergeist

 

I was 14. Travelling alone to Singapore. 

In Madras, went for the 'Poltergeist'.

Guy with 2 dolls sat in front. 3 heads faced me.

"I'm levitating," the lady with bhang thandai said.

"I love you," from the other side. To me. Her bf smiled.

Anything #unearthly? Nah.

Autocorrect sucks.

Didn't I type let's ride?

I'll be back

 

Had a weird dream.

The Devil took over The God's work. Without a #clash of ego.

My love was given a new life.

The wicked got their comeuppance.

The innocent threw away the shroud of cynicism and smiled. 

Not for long.

"I'll be back," The God had promised.

sins of the past

 

One can't escape the sins of the past.

About 25 years back, I went for weddings and looked down on the hoi polloi gobbling down the veg sadya. I did that only when they served 4 or more payasams. (Before that era, I avoided weddings like the plague. I was too young for that and deaths.)

About 10 years back or so, the 3-minute weddings here were extended to include out-of-state features like haldi, sangeet, whatever. Only those who looked good on social media were invited for those events. I was not.

Now, they don't invite me even for the wedding. The bride and groom like to have a grand party with close ones. That's the good news. The bad news is that the parents still hold a function or reception, expect me to give a gift cheque and they serve food which makes the hoi polloi wonder, "Are we really that low class?"

#SundayMusings (on a Monday)

bury myself

 

Is Time #elastic?

Ne'er thought it would hit me

Again.

Restless and insomniac

And happy

Urging the sun to rise sooner

Tongue-tied and anxious

Wake up wake up I beg

To hear that laugh

Before you say

What a kid you are

I bury myself in you

How close we are

Forever.

antidote to love

 

"Searching for an #oasis

In the middle of a tropical forest.

Story of my life."

"A, will you please plz stop writing?"

"Swaps, that's my antidote to love. Never failed."

"Is there a woman

Who can tolerate you and 

Your writing? Alas!"

"You are nearly there, woman."

from 'Virgin Territory'

 

“Is the door closed?” she asked.

“Who cares?” I said.

It was a #blur after that. There were corny lines.

“I am not going to love you.”

“Me too...”

I am back in her life.

And I do not really know why.

I am not sure why she has accepted me.
