Before I think of all that I do not wish to know

 

I know that I should think


Of the #blood spilled 

Of the #wounds inflicted

Of the pain and the agony


But I have got to stay sane

To ignore all that


And remember love

And feel you with me

And share the beautiful 


Before I think of all that I do not wish to know.

get lost

 

Why did I leave her?

Cold black instead of #lambent,

Her eyes said get lost.

ghosts of the living

 

The dead don't disturb

Unlike the creepy greedy

#Ghosts of the living.

killed the wrong one

 

"Why are you wearing a black ribbon, Arjun?"


"My pet cockroach was murdered."


"Pet what?"


"Ma'am, after reading 'Metamorphoses', I had a dream in which Swapna turned into that."


"Swapna, are you wearing one to share his #pain?"


"No, Ma'am. I killed the wrong one."

from 'Afterlife'

 

I was sixteen when it was discovered.


It seems we have been born straight from some historical age into the current times. 


That life of some yesterday, after death, decided to park its #soul or DNA or whatever, here, in us.

from 'In Flight'

 

Thoughts merely placed-

in parenthesis-

which is within or without

which is in light or in #shadow

which is to barricade or to escape-

is a matter of mirth.


Waking to the alarum of resolution-

a clarion call or a swan song-

love or skeptic, live or die?
