you

eyes magnetically stare, a bed of soft leaves, hands reach out, languid pools of desire, arms envelope, a ghalib ghazal, head on my shoulders, I belong here, breath on my face, cool wind, staring at the fan, series of firsts, broken laughter, pure, rush, joy, hope, belief, love...

not the first, not the last




plums: not one, many. maroon, not red: small, shiny, smooth… tempted by face value, I bite, tongue meets flesh, luscious stains teeth…

seeds constrict breathing, juice erupts snakes: blood vomits out, gushing guts, the return of breathing, increases pain

immobility reigns, seared mind escapes, leaves deflated, hollow body. eyes feel presence; seek you seeing me, paying the price, of the unforbidden

leaves turn plastic, air recycled, pools muddy, sunshine black: I give up on me, in your eden, of lies

dance with me


multiplying heart beats, frenetic barters, flickering light, deafening screams, masking sneers, eyeballs dripping, innocence blurred vision, blood in dried veins, gripping vice like, canine teeth, refusing to let go, lucifer’s cross, bone weary, pulls down, slows up, sinking soul, sucked out, exhausted end…

research


today i am going to be your new friend

using techniques, learnt, over time, experience and more like you

name, career, family, life, heart, mind

probe & find, uncover, open closets

a little at first, more later, ultimately all

i smile, you feel relieved to have got the grade

after a long time, made it through, qualified

You close your eyes, in relief, missing the steel in mine

Little realizing, your purpose is over, you were just a means

Having met the objective, I am moving on, to the end

You look askance, reality crashes in, our meeting’s over

I walkout, without a second glance, at respondent no.7
