Closure

Part I
Dreamy even while I'm awake
Eyes shut tight with unrequited sleep
But yet restless & insomniac
The whirlwind in my head
Moves south.
Heart break city
Heart ache city
Lost!
Like I promised I'd be
And then it rains.

Part II
All I had to do
Is turn around
Look at your sleeping face
While I stayed awake
Nursing my aching heart
With all that love
Love from yore
Love today
And it rains
While I silently drift
Into slumber.

Part III
We pass through
Places we held hands
We said goodbyes
We touched
Because there was
Nothing more we could do
No words could express
What you and I felt.
Every place
Was marked by memories of you
Every memory of this city
Is marked by you.

Chronicles of Two ~ I

Once again they set off     Jumping walls   Sitting with their feet dangling Into imaginery waters.    Wet toes, Longing hearts     Yearning for nothing less than the moon.    What's between you and me Is beyond us she said.   They both agreed. Holding hands     Reaching out to the sky    They dreamt of non-existent swings While they rode to nether lands. Like children       like lovers   Like borne out of each other Sharing bliss sharing sorrow Sharing hurt sharing sweetmeats out of nowhere    Wishing for nothing less than the moon       They rode to nether lands.

എനെറ്റ കൂടുകാരിയ്കു
ഇരുട്ടിെന േപടിയാണ്
ഇരുട്ടിയമുറിയില്
അവള്ക്കുറക്കമില്ല
ഉറങ്ങാത്ത മുറിയില്
നാം
ൈകോകറത്തു േമയ്കോറത്തു
പലരാത്രി കവിതചോല്ലി
കടംകഥകളായി ജീവിച്ചു

എനെറ്റ േസ്നഹിഎതയ്കു
ഉറക്കമില്ല
െവയില്െവളിച്ചം നിറഞ്ഞ മുറിയില്
ഉച്ചയുറക്കത്തിന്േപരില്
ഞങ്ങള്
കളിച്ചും ചിരിച്ചും ചുംബിച്ചും
ദിവസങ്ങള് രാത്രികള് വറ്ഷങ്ങള് കഴിഞ്ഞു

ഇന്ന
ഈ ഉറക്കമില്ലാത്ത
വറ്ഷങ്ങളിെലഉറക്കം േതടി
ഞാന് അലയുന്നു

I Chose

So I'm stuck with this aloneness

Well it was a choice
But what are really
The choices we make
The choices that are choiceless?

This is not even about me
This has never been.

It is always been about your grief
How long could I survive that?
What about me?

Does it matter?
After all it's my choice, right.

I can feel the tears swell
They don't seem to find
A way out though

They surge and they recede
Like the moon-teased tides
The tears though
Never hit the shore.

I'm beyond any comprehension
Of my own feelings

If you find me strewn around
Believe me
There won't be any
Emotions in them.
It's a choice I made.

Rubbish!

I'm told
Im halways in a urry
To say what I ave to say
I do typos while i pseak
I mix letters brack and foth
and call myself a spoonerist
I spoon'em words
And twist'em up
I tick my bookets and
And read Kelly and Sheets
I say bains
For beans and baingan.
What's for dinner donight?!
Senseless sense I sense in me
Sometimes nonsense
It's todally me!
I write here this
To entertain myself!
Such boredness life has become!
ha!

Life Lines

If I take a look from top
It all looks like a movie
A bloody quagmire to me
Just lines connecting
From here to there

To somewhere else
Back here again
And then away elsewhere!
A complete racous!
And you and I
Are the queens and kings

Of racous making
How madly incestous
Always ready to our give hearts away
Always
What will we do!
Nothing
Be like this always!
