Als das Kind Kind War
Als das Kind Kind war, | |
Als das Kind Kind war, | |
Als das Kind Kind war, | |
Als das Kind Kind war, | |
Als das Kind Kind war, | |
Als das Kind Kind war, | |
Als das Kind Kind war, | |
Als das Kind Kind war, | |
Als das Kind Kind war, | |
Als das Kind Kind war, | |

The eye dialogue
Averting myself from mundane pairs,
Setting inner feelings upon her,
Yet flicking routine responses.
My field courts her black beads.
They breifly shine towards me,
"Yes?!Don't think, I don't feel yours".
But she forces their focus away,
Down, gazing at her food, musing
Am certain, about my gaze.
The daily coincidence at lunch-time.
Of sitting positions and overlapping fields.
Inspires a quasi-habitual hope
Will she let the dialogue wax?
Her reluctance speaks for her.
That sparky pair almost succeeds,
In keeping her at bay.
Yet the furtive assertion they convey,
Propels my quixotic longing,
To be with her.
She climbed in the bus,
All four of us played the usual.
Before we could pose anew
Hers turned to the book,
And a friendly pair hijacked mine.
The uncertainties my curiosities began,
She was desparate to ward off.
What the lovely pair failed at,
Her kiss to an ally, hurriedly demanded,
Made home, but just, exposing insecurities.

Slave
Nay! leaning rather heavily on sincerity
Beseeching eyes and yet flinching
"Am sorry, am sorry for the bottle dear"
She stood repeating
Lady at the till, stood but still
Furtively glancing at the black jacket
Amidst meaningful looks to her colleague
Both recognizing well 'Her types'
Slowly she retreats to the familiar section
Tinned and bottled crimson and gold
Restless hands seek the neck
Ensuing a practiced set of moves
Elixir! Elixir! yes yes!! one more
Enslaved nerves are pining
Ardently sincere
Borrowing this desperateness her
Face contrives another apologetic look
'But, I feel sorry for the loss dear'
Alas reaching the counter keeping the socre
The colleague penetrates her deceit
Like incisors would an overdone meat
One stashed in the ballooning jacket
She removes, in spite the sham interesting
'How much is it? Dont know if i have the money, dear
"Two pounds ninety flicks the digital green
"Dont have enough money dear!"
Two bottles of pity lay bared
One seen by a seasoned eye and
The other by apathetic sympathy
Unabashed steps are watched retiring
"Thud!!" and a cling of the broken shard
The hurry, the urge wins over broken luck
One more leaves the suffocating stink
"Oh! for pity s' sake!!" her nerves give in.

Feelings
Try to change them with words
Muddled they become
Like waters from a still pond
When stirred by playful cherubs
But suddenly words have left me
And so have the cherubs the pond
The waters are still now
And lo! Staring back at me
I see my reflection
The face in water smiles
And I smile back at it
We both know these smiles
Of loss, despair and desolateness
Brought along by words telling feelings
Not all your words were untrue
Yet the feelings behind them true
You are a wonderful painter
Yet you chose the dark side
Mostly prompted by my unwise themes
My themes changed from bright
For I wished to set everything right
Realized this was chimerical
Only too late, sadly too late
For now, the paint is dry
What memory retains though
Are your paintings set in colours
All bright and pure and often shiny
Much like your inner beauty
And the green of your eyes.

Crisis I
Has ears for my mind
For with time the cast for this role
Changes, falls, stays behind
On impulse, I revisit, unwittingly undressed
Enforced by habit crossing the will
Time imposed, propriety pressed
Familiar hunters as their salted kill
Like rain drops in a shallow pond
My tale begets multiple unsettlings
In the unworthy listeners of long fond
An unwholesome parley with negative partakings
Never again my friend I warn
Myself against habits' cyclic occurrence
Against defying time leaving myself torn
Lip not a feeling without ponderance
Like the weather fine tuning your garb
Well picked words warm many a heart
Yet let not warming your aim warp
Nor dear feelings colour any art
As a camels' body to the desert sand
Adapt your art in the hue locale
To honour the present in guise of the land
Persistent industry serving action or vocal
Dadhichi
