  • Aimless.

    Connection weakens. Sleep breaks due to some discomfort. I turn to the other side, knowing that it isn’t the cure. A word, a line can make you miserable. I long for an adventure, for something boundless. A physical road fails to take me far enough. Travelling infinite distance is not possible. Any star is untouchable. Joy begins to leave as humidity rises. The water tank fills up for another day’s consumption. A woman sweeps all the three floors of this building to kill her morning time. There is a form of dirt that doesn’t simply wash away. Sometimes it stays for days. It flies to a corner and even if you are looking around with your both eyes open, you cannot notice it. An hour and a half more before the misery resumes.

  • Slip.

    The ache began around 11 in the morning. A result of my negligence. I do not regret living with this ache, although I agree that avoiding it wouldn’t have been a tough task. I often let myself slip in the hard arms of misery. I often do that. As I sit now and feel the ache breaking me into two, I hear the cooing of an innocent bird, the cooing having no impact on me. It is as noisy as the noises these boys are making while they play their silly game. Perhaps, it’s the noises of these boys that’s making the melodious hum of the bird sound bitter. Perhaps, their noises aren’t actually noises, but to me, they appear so. Perhaps, I am struck by lightning or I am getting dragged across a swamp with pointy swords sticking out of it. I am waiting for the night so that I can truly become invisible for a while.

  • Tired for anything.

    Dead in the head. Long day labour hammering my gut to bits. By evening, I am exhausted, full of hatred and headache. I have hit the trough once again. The saint in my is dying, the devil ripping me apart at all times. Even a cool breeze fails to bring any ease to me. I wish that my eyes closed and I never had to do a thing again.

  • Cannot remember the end.

    Another day. I am unaware of the ending of the previous night. Where was I? What was I doing when my memory chip short-circuited? I do not remember. I had a bottle in hand, another was lying on the floor. That’s all. Now, I have returned from finishing the day’s labour, and my room is smelling of rot. Piles of garbage everywhere, gathering since a couple of months. Once again, I have forgotten how to live. It will take me a month’s time to cover a night’s sleep.

    sealed in a wood barrel,

    ready to blow your mind

    the moment it opens.

  • Another, no better way.

    my hair has grown beyond acceptable limit

    my face has swollen, sagged

    my clothes all muddied

    whenever people look at me, they say,

    ‘This is the same man from yesterday. Nothing changes.’

  • Poetry e-book Dying in Living released on Amazon.

    The winds are pulling my cheeks, slapping my face. I am watching the white patches of clouds dissect into smaller patches and disappear. Yesterday, my first e-book of poems, Dying in Living, got released on Amazon Kindle Store. It is now available for purchase worldwide.

    Book Cover

    Click here to visit my e-book page on Amazon.

    I feel really glad about it. It is something for me. I want my words to reach as many people as possible. Once I have written a book, it has no purpose for me. Its work for me is done. It cannot remain with me. All I want is for it to knock on every reader’s face and scream into his ears. Time will let me know how things go from here.

    I am already pretty excited to start working on my second book. This self publishing thing has been a great learning experience. I like how it works. I like to be in control of my own things.

    That is all for now. I hope you are well wherever you are. I hope you do checkout my ebook page.

    Thank you for being here.

  • Anticipation

    right before my eyes
    another sun has set
    the dark fang of plague
    is finally here, ready to rip
    my skin
    my eyes close on the touch
    of a breeze
    my nose adjusts to the absence
    of smell
    i am slipping
    out of this place,
    out of this body.

  • How in no time

    how in no time
    the clouds have turned blue
    the round bird has returned
    with its song
    the soil has drunk all the rain
    the trees have bowed
    but in whose honour?

    how in no time
    what didn’t exist is now here,
    fully, shrounding my world
    into an uncanny coldness.
