While my wings flap
Clipped they hang around
My roots grope
For more ground
Around my feet
I listen to the songs of future
Filtering through the crevices
My fingers have forgotten to write
They hammer on the keyboard
Frozen words
trapped
Within liquid emotions.
I herald the change in me
weather keeps pace writing on leaves
sprinkled till the far end of my horizon
I write another fragrant sentence
scent of these words fills my bosom
I fit my feet into shoes made from dried petals
I walk on clouds
be it ninth or seventh
it matter not a long as I stay intoxicated
for the moment I open my eyes
all I see is the baritone that belongs to you
heart that walks on pavement
lives by words unspoken
poems that give birth to themselves
get conceived during predicating hours…
Can l call you out any time
Being aware of my indulgence
That the road is not that wide
For me to hold a hand
For I know this with all my heart
Falling down to get up
Learning to swim without drowning
Drinking down without sipping
Creating lores
Struggling with dreams
I sit idle by the sea shore
Ready to take that
Final
my very own plunge.
am I a river?
I ask thee
and the roaring intertwines
with the words of wisdom
glances filled with longing
I cover myself
from head to toe
with my shroud
and your fragrance fills me
from top to bottom
I revolt against my desires
to find peace in mundane
shockingly I look around
in search for the pressence
knowing fully well all this time
knowing so well all the time
that there is nothing I know
besides this heart’s incessant beating
in tune with not knowing
reason I ask thee
am I a river…
I fall in love with the day
as I walk past these hours
sitting idle by my minutes
I live each moment
to instil this love
in my routine
to stay intact
with me
I fall in tune with my love
I eat whatever grows
on my soil
while I tend to this love
in tune with my soul
the day I am in love with
cuts a piece of cake
each morning from the dawn
for me to relish and devour
I celebrate this love
each day through
the tears and smiles
of longing
of moments lived
to laugh at the absurdity
and continuity
of this life
I laugh aloud
on my audacity to fall in love
with my day
over and over again…
