Ode to The Estranged Ex '05

These days 
All nights are cold

The duvet is warm
But does little 
To prevent

My fingers 
From turning blue

I begin again
To long for you

Naked, and delicious
Warming me

Once More

With the heat 
Of your body
As you in turn
Warm yourself
Over the bonfire

Wrapped around

A barbeque skewer.

One Sided '11

He glows

Subtle, slow

Soft and yellow

Calm and mellow

But I am flaming red

Untamed and loud

There is no mistaking

I am the only one

On  fire

Not Alone and Yet...'12

Mock if you should

My search and
My longing...
Ridicule if you must
My spiritual musings!
You are but
My Karma
For this lifetime
And I shall love you

Serve you and

Fulfil each need

Of our bondage

And not without regret
Race towards liberation

Alone...

Reigning In The Devil '99

I self inflict

Pain varied

New and

Of past buried

To distract

With tact

My  mind

That inclines

otherwise
Towards being

 unkind

Adhpaki Dridhta '10

Thak si gayi hun

Kadam se nahin

Socch se

Soch ke

Ki ye kadam kabhi

khatm hi nahin honge

Dhoondhte rahenge

Usko jo nahin hai

Poojte rahenge

Usko jo nahin hai

Phir ugungi main

Kali ki tarah

Kabhi baag mein

Kabhi keechad mein

Bhogne ke liye

Jo kiya tha

Jo karoongi

Maloom hai

ki ant mumkin hai

samaapan ho sakta hai

magar dridhta hi nahin hai

Nishchay mein

To My Concerned Critics '11

“We hate your poetry”

They say

“It is dark and unhappy

No sunshine there

No light, no stars...

Is that how

You really are?”

To them I say

When its dark

My mind will mew

My mind will bark

Take it or leave it

Either way my guess

Is that I won’t care

Any less :-P

I Failed Again'12

Not good enough

Never good enough

Despite the effort

Oh! Such back breaking effort!

Why don’t I

Just bloody get it?

Of  what use
is the toil,
The Perspiration?

That misplaced

Self assuredness

That incorrect conviction?

I’ll never make it
I'll never pull it off

Because  I DON’T

have it in me

Never did,

Never will…

Alas!

What a waste

Of  so much desire!

What a pointless,

Raging fire!

The tank of talent

Is E-M-P-T-Y

And I’ve been proven
Beyond doubt-

An incompetent, little Liar!
