I should stop
The #blatant infidelity
When I look for her in you.
If you have been
To the island of no return,
You will understand.
There the sun hangs
In limbo, there's neither
Sunset nor sunrise,
One prays to nothing,
The god of the lost,
A scary demon for most.

"Swaps, I've committed seppuku on social media."
"How?"
"Admitted I hate cats and dogs."
"Lemme be the kaishakunin."
"How?"
"Will say #beastly you hate kids too."
"Ironic."
"How?"
"They hate the kid in me."
"Hate's creator thou art, to hate's victim turnest."

For once, I could be faithful.
Not that you have complained.
I didn’t carry the past and
I didn’t pack for the future.
We laughed at our fantasies and
We promised not to write a poem.
For a little while, I was not #beastly.
Not that I heard your complaint.

According to the stars,
I'm the #mountainous sort,
But you knew what I am,
#Enchanted by the beckoning sea.
Did I know what you were,
When we shared that dream
Of spending a night high above
The clouds hiding the azure?
You stayed back
And I delay the last swim.

"Swaps, firstly, it's lovely to be one of your 4 this #ValentinesDay."
"Secondly?"
"We 4 are not sure of our role."
"Ah!"
"Platonic overcelebration? Situationship à la mode with no #kiss rule?"
"Lady with 4 lovers. 1 guy dies. She can't be the killer, no?"
"Oh!"
#vss365
Where are the lovers?
In cynicism's blind spot?
Erased by #dark mood?

On a Friday in early spring, I held Swapna’s hand for the first time.
We were on the S-Bahn from Potsdam to Berlin. I spotted a vacant seat. I took her hand. I did not let go even after we were seated.
That first #touch took six months.

We don't leave footprints, do we, my love?
I try to lose mine in the deep.
But, you know there's not a decent #bone in me.
I pray for another chance.
Not with you. Even when I hold you.
But, they laugh at our clown act.
They should throw coins where we try to meet.

My village is a tourist hotspot.
Rajendran's Puttu Kada now serves: 'steamed rice and coconut sandwich cake, oeuf dur avec sel et poivre'.
The temple pond is a hotel's swimming pool called 'Happy Hour 24x7'. Nice ones come out #pale around the gills, the others vanish.
#vss365
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.
#vss365
Why did I leave her?
Cold black instead of #lambent,
Her eyes said get lost.

The dead don't disturb
Unlike the creepy greedy
#Ghosts of the living.

"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."

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 my old note:
https://justoneavatar.blogspot.com/2014/01/afterlife.html
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?
