Subtle Filigree

Here again today I hold the book of love, Scary enough to feel the emptiness
As I was a fly, she always enjoyed chasing away
Decoration of power over the stone broken and unbroken from ages
Shifting, splitting coming to light, thriving, dissolving, decomposing and dying
Flourishing the plague of agony, the demolishing pain persuading cacophony
Stronger atrocious but acumen, Departure of autumn the only cradle I had 
Transparent as the skin of a newborn child
Despite all the charmed secrets, you masqueraded the wallowing lies
Laugh and Laugh the punctuated rescue of counterfeit ripples
Mistakenly driven the ingredient of big smile, is it ok to accept the void?? 
Peace! Passivity! And submission, man long lost yet turned into poet
I was gullible swayed by the arrogant, yearning for revenge
For me, nothing has changed and nothing was same anymore
Detached and absorbed, intoxicated I sing the glory of solemn and distant
Malicious or unfortunate, just accepted what was presented
A lullaby in veil of silence, soul long gone and separated
Floating in the ether, I saw the runaway kite
Mild, surreal, light and elevated
Nothing to resist, nowhere to go
Faith is a gradual process and unfortunately I thrived in disbeliefs abode 
Pristine and penitent, I literally begged for your help
The vision is alluring as you were real
Even as I suffer, I knew there was a threshold I crossed and went
Half concernedly, half passionately
I allowed you to hold me captive
In love boundaries were blurred, in love I let the butterfly met hurricane 
Dear death, how embarrassing my life was
And yet oddly not embarrassing at all
Subtle filigree, the way she left

Once you tell me something

Once you tell me something it can't be retracted It's like flickering light in northern twinkling stars...A domino of separation of anguish and anger  Blizzards On the sea far from all but coastal Remember in the tiny cafe you sat facing this summer, A book of introspection as you flipped the pages Pages of the chapter titled " Once you tell me something it can’t be retracted" Your whole body changes... The way you smell, Your reflection How it feels when you avoid my touch Like a distant moon, you shower your lights in the despair of meadows and in the blink of midnight The us will be no more than a victim you and a distant I Killing me in the leaching presence Leaving me at the mercy of mine a parasite of my own demise I’ll see it as an ephemeral moment of evaporating droplets, It’s a struggle to hold or to let you go now Yet all I could ever do is to observe and comprehend in hindsight "You’ll say my detachment has grown stronger and I no longer feel...

Non Zero Sum Game

Conversation between them She: Sometimes he sits on the terrace stargazing, Deeply fallen for I do not know t whom: like he makes me fall for all his art. I stare at him. Like he is staring at that empty sky. I grab his hand, point it towards the darkness and then towards me, telling him I am his star. He: Who is that he.. Is he or is he you Is he everyone around.. One trying to weave his dreams on the rotten grounds Does speaks or does he hears.. Is he even alive or he does stares... Staring at hollow nights Where I'm not just a person I'm a myth.. A star of skipped sleep She: You say I am a myth, And you my love, are a star of skipped sleep. You slip into the mornings;  And I slip into some more darkness. They say stars are the past we see, May be that is why, we shall meet at the distant horizon, where the sky touches the sea. He: A montage of crimson yet pale sky Aren't we all ill.. fallen over what he have and what we'll never possess What is an horizon.. Except a ...

Cafe with the red door

 My words they don’t speak to me anymore…They have gone silent. I tried to write a monologue ended up with a paraphrased well-rehearsed dialogue where it was me my pen a barren thoughtless ambitionless dire dread sunken low endless void sheet of paper a truce I was determined to extract a reunion of me and the words a paraphrased well-rehearsed melody. I’ll call my new testament a revelation yet again the door was shut a creek on the bolts and a sudden jolt as all that was left was a seer clear serene vaccume devoid of light sound hope dreams and the desire to get up…I was paralyzed my hands were trembling my pen aching to move an inch, to explore the great run of meadows some description of waves mountains the wind playing with your hairs a cuddle under moonlight cigarette’s after ages few stanza about the windows the first ray of sun and all the words that rhyme, my pen aching to move an inch succumbed to the wounds of fantasy a café with red door and a table peering all that y...
