lust, when cajoled & converted,
from the thing it was, becomes
a lascivious ghost, whispering
into your cherry-blossom-ear.
how easy it can be
to drown
in each and every
syllable of that voice,
how difficult it can be
to come out
of a well, where you’ve
bled & emptied yourself.

(Inter)National Poetry Month
unearthed trinkets of lust
taken by my lips —
bitten —
bitumen of the roads left
behind —
quick-quirky-beats rise quickly
like moon-quivering-tides.
drink one on me, through me,
as i
taste the memory of your
kitschy kiss,
hear a silver sun’s silence,
left undisturbed,
ululating — dying.

how it is so that smiles are dripping down his chin
and his eyes are capturing rainbows in their delight, oh!
“Annihilation,” the world cried.
he is the abysmal beauty in the hourglass of night, he
stands tall like a crane snatching stars from the sky, oh!
“Annihilation,” the world cried.
how he traces the outline of his cracked lips and digs into
napalm skin, how his saliva coats the lengths of desires, oh!
“Annihilation,” he cried.
he falls down the cliff, and breaks open like dreams; he sings.

dear
oh Dear –
it’s an evening of amour,
experienced alone, behind the open
windows- a view for the world
abstaining from desire, I disrobe
the words, and let them ablaze
on
the tip
of
my tongue.
dear
oh Dear –
let’s flow, let’s blow, let’s sing,
let’s waltz around in our skins,
*तू स्पर्श है तो मैं एहसास,
लब से जो तू छू ले तो मैं विलाप,
तू पुष्प जो है तो मैं भँवरा हूँ.
let’s flow, let’s blow, let’s sing,
let loose control.
in dots and dashes,
I sigh, my last word,
in dots and dashes.
dear
oh Dear –
*you are the touch, I am sensation,
you are the kiss, I am that moan,
you are the flower and I, a bumble-bee.

and it is bestiality that sucks
blood from my passion,
pin me down by your gaze, subdued,
I cry out, bite my spirit into chunks
of my broken armor, burn me alive
this instant, plunge my back with
the sword of impudence, against
my wish, but my wish is held true
in the recesses of this panorama
where nothing is seen, and everything
is naked.
punch my chest to make me numb,
your nails piercing me through
and through, till nothing is left
unterritorized. I’m no longer alive.
dead, I am, to the shadows that fall
on your naked back, I plunge my hatred
inside you with a power of resurgence,
of
this treachery of an evening, that lives
beyond the realm of an everlasting night.
let me be the trickster, let me
be the one to wrench open your arms
and embrace you with my lethal dance.
let me wrestle around the sky where
the sun has been plundered, disgraced.
let me eat the flavorless fruit
of this mockery of life, of passion.
let this night line my shores again.
let this night never touch me again.

The year before last, I took up a challenge to write and publish 30 poems in 30 days of November. And I finished it. This year, I am going to try and imitate it. This is Poem # 1.
