Kabhie Kabhie, Sometimes…

Sometimes, the depths of my heart speak to me
And I get the feeling that you were created just for me
And were brought down from your dwelling amid the stars
To grace this earth for me alone and simply for me

Remainders & Reminders

ERASURE

AFTERGLOW

A week since.

The memory of the smile reappears
into the foreground.

The kohl-rimmed eyes, that hair let loose,
they come back.

WORDS ARE, LIKE LOVE CAN BE

Like the hands of God, breathing life into thoughts
Like the trident wielded by the Devil incarnate

Like a rainbow displaying its happy colours against a soft blue canvas
Like tear drops precipitating from dark grey clouds
