A goon and a killer?
Agreed!
A sinner of any stand?
Agreed!
...

Navigate
Like a solitary voyager
Collect pearls
And share with
...

This life is the reflection
Of your existence,
Come into it
With all your fire.
...

Love!
When I realized you
I became love!
When I thought of you
...

You are the cause
Of my sufferings
You are the remedy;
You dwell in my heart
...

Down the line
My number as a friend
Doesn’t twinkle like a star,
It seems
...

I never saw you in your completeness
In your wholeness;
Only bits and pieces of selection
Mostly one at a time.
...

In the quiet corners of my soul, I hold the tale of our love, a flame that once burned fierce and bright. We were two souls entwined, braving life's storms hand in hand. But fate dealt its cruel hand, tearing us apart, leaving me to navigate this world alone.

I remember the warmth of your touch, the way your eyes spoke volumes, and the melody of your laughter that echoed in my heart. We built dreams upon dreams, painting a future that seemed boundless. But then the winds of change blew fierce, and you were swept away to distant shores, seeking a livelihood in a land unknown.
...

In thAre tears not the dewy mirrors
Of a tender Heart?
Are they not the divine essence?
The holiest of holy things?
...

Dismantle my heart
To your use
But go slow and easy
Let your tenderness
...

They say
It’s a secret.
Wind steals a way
Under the knotty tree,
...

Strum! Strum!
On some nerve
You played on.
...

They killed me instantly
Naked
Primitively bloody:
The dhol dragged me out
...

(No wound to heal Time
I’m in safe hand!)
Be that light for me
I can bathe in
...

Today I'm fasting.
I won't take:
Messages from friends,
Their roasted heartbeats
...

I listen to your tiptoe
In the silence of night
Winds sing to you
And my heart
...

Stop!
And wrap the heart with a sigh
Try if it could be chucklesome
And garish:
...

Flickering fire
Hides itself
In the sparkling eyes of
A damsel-
...

A pox on your hospitality!
My friend is a friend
And let him remain one.
Let our alliance run
...

Wrapped in polished khaddar
Wherever he moves
-That smelly thing-
...
