I remained in yesterday
You moved on
to a strange today
-x-
The curtains lived on the edges of the day
Silent and somber watching
As deadlines rushed in & went away
-x-
The cat dragged in something
Stinking, broken and bleeding
It was but yesterday’s dream
-x-
The splashes from a butterfly fell on my days
Golden were the ways
When I flew where I wanted to
-x-
There was struggle between the identities
Me was different everywhere
Twitter, fb, orkut, buzz all agreed at my strangeness
-x-
Hunger pangs attacking the tummy
Tummy punished
for all the secret obscenities
it contained
-x-
Pain is the most
random thing in the world.
It’s everywhere.
-x-
What was stress called
when people hadn’t coined that term?
-x-
The grammar of love is confusing
Even practice may not
make you perfect
-x-
One by one they leave me
no rhyme no reason
betraying hair on my head
-x-
Burden of holding up millions of
thoughts & counter thoughts
so long bow down my neck now
-x-
A writer needs to write
A doctor needs to practice
A lover only needs to dream
