Storm brews up
A victim he becomes
Of his rage
Each day hanging on the gallows
The canoe’s swift floating is undone
Submerged, tosses back and forth
And is marooned then
Knots in the reins
Tied to the harbour post
Transfixes traumatizingly
Uncuff the passion
Fuel the fire
Waves be burned
Sky be smoked and swooned

Packed his Identity
In a rusty rectangular box
Ostracized on the roof
Of an old cupboard

Unburdened he
Dances on splashing solace
But the ‘self’ plaintively
In an eternal wait
To be touched and heared

He scratched the silver lining
Off the moon disastrously
And she got angry
Between the lining and scars
She preferred the later
The discarded lining
Skidded into a crazy feat of laughter
“I was with ungrateful”
In perennial quest
Of spotless beauty
Man runs after one’s shadow
Alas! No catch-up
Now huffs and puffs

Now the table toppling
Prey dicing into predator
The chased will chase
Betting meter touching another notch
The sharpened arrows will revert back
From the crevices of eyes
Casting uncontrollable spell
Causing hypnosis to life in veins
You spit out: “Mercy”
That maverick agency ceases not
Cramming pains
Relief stumbling on its feet
Tumbles with an impolite
“I can’t reach you
Inconvenience is deeply regretted”
Laughter and applause ensue

A gush of words
Spilling out
That dogeared page
“We cannot remain unattended so long”
They hissed
A dark dull pencil
Made a dive into the pool
A thumping splash
And all awake
Comma
Hyphen
Dash
Colon and semi colon
Inverted commas and full stops
A communion is set on the study table
Oblivious to him
Into the fissures of sleep and unsleep

Look into her eyes
And at stake you fall
Losing the casino royale
A high rated gambling
With one wink
At ballroom
You are robbed off
A caution capitalized
“What have you to lose now”?
They chorused
“I’m infinity
At each barbarous bite
I’m more into gains
Now the table was laid
Into each other hemispheres
Cards were shuffled
One was biting his lips
And other squinting the eyes

I wait to turn into shadow
A wish be materialised
Of climbing the walls clandestinely
And spying through glass window
At me lying half on unmade bed
To see who clutches my cold shoulder
Stuffing a crumpled cotton handkerchief
Having me to gag
Causing a voiceless scream
For I know
It’s not a sluttish nightmare
A witchy wagon often gargles
Deep through my vocal cords
Let me disappoint you
Hey cat!
I will fondle you not
No more will I share my Hide n Seek
For I wait to turn into shadow

Human dies
But what of their grudge
Icy nights of winter
And now the sun baked days
How insatiated bellies and psyches
Your habitation inhabits is in your limits
Carry you spring within you
With the leaves draped in dewdrops
And mother bird winking her eyes
Setting forth in quest of morsels
Offsprings may feast
Stoppeth your dirge
Comply with the rustling and rambling
Of trees and clouds
Peace! Peace! Peace

Fatigue thrives
Patience dwindles
Too much said and sung on rose
Now I serenade of yellow leaves
And that withered trunk
O, they are not wow metaphors
Not conducive to ears
Yet I will sing the black
Not rain but volcano be invoked
Pain be barbecued
Roasting chirps
By the lake side
Wolves do the jamming
I being their feast

His harp singing
The decades of disintegration
And now begins he his eviction
Memories abound are to be packed
No Packers and movers this time
An auction be held
Buyers be called
Things once said priceless
Today will wear the gown of pricetags
What?
Highest bidding!
For that old rusted black square box
Discarded last summer
What makes you scream the highest bid?
For the least sought after stuff
“I am interested in the aroma within the box”
Box be opened
Chorused the crowd
Unleashed
Eyes and ears
On the sobbing silnece
