The late night

I died again last night.

Faded like echo,
of a desperate fall,
finally escaping the high canyon walls.

Cooled like love's warmth,
Iced by infidelity,
Now, gravel cold.

Drained like the blood
feeling the fingers
of an unclenching fist.

I died again last night.


Shredded like betrayed
by an ugly truth.
Toppled like the towers
where concrete and steel
Gave way to blue and plumes
of dust and flesh.

Evaporated like the last drop
of the last rain
before the longest drought of reason.

I died again last night
when the pretenders
Turned away
From the acceptable losses,
Collateral damage.
when they turned back
Raised their fists
Beat their chests, wives and logic
Like the droning drums of war.

I died again last night
To holster the rage reaction,
To break the hypocristy of
impending expected redundancy,
To finally father all the wasted seeds,
To reclaim that sense of ownership
stolen in the night, stolen in the morning.
Though i'd sworn it could never be done.

So, I died again last night.

YEARNING |POEM|

Picture source:www.IndiaToday.com Many gorgeous solid surface hath passed by; Where all the graceful flowers are blowing, Where all the wings are glorifying the skies, where all the dragon-flies are hopping with the river, When all the lands are praying for him. The season had succeeded to change I can't put the picture of what's that..? I'm speechless as a stone. As I filled the foreign land, I see the film was forming into night and thundering; Clothes were torn as dirty As I stood there by the bed; Under the foreign skies In winter hail and summer tempest. Besides this country; Sing thy ole school sweet. O, I remember thy mother repast luscious; The smile of dear on thy eyes The gentle cry of boys on my thine ears The memories of the thy brothers and sisters are precious; Yet unduty for my homeland, We put on hold, your dream-your-lives. Thou left thy mothers and thy fathers Thee left behind thy brothers and...

The dead don't die

She was burning your garbage, her sari caught fire and she died. He was cleaning your manhole, a pipe burst and he died. She didn't receive he wages, she hung herself and she died. He was wading through the drain, he inhaled poisonous gases and he died. Remember. The dead don't die. When the media turns a blind ear, And the state is unaccountable, When there is no money to send his body back home, and the public is indifferent, when his family is not given any jobs, And the city lives on in oblivion, Remember. The dead don't die. As you build your new house, carelessly discared your waste, As you choose your blinders And preach your progress, Remember, The dead don't die. And when you constructy your walls, And lock your gates, When you look paste the filth, And praise the state, Remember. The dead don't die. *This obituary is dedicated to the undocumented and unreported death of waste pickers, sweepers and manual scaveng...

                Image: Pinterest there could've been a world  where you and i  wouldn't have met. or met but not fallen in love. or fallen in love  but not let go. or let go  but never remembered. or remembered but never missed. and it breaks  me apart  to wonder. which is the life we'd live. which is the life we'd leave.
