IN THE LANE OF MEMORIES

Derelict life, wild weeds, anonymous
Shrubs, nevertheless cactus does not
Forget to bloom, roofless, demolished
Walls, dream existed still in polygonal
Way, I have no regrets, no complains!
I have learned to survive without you –
However, it was nightmarish incident
Sleepless nights, dejected breath, I
Feel you in delusion, sometimes -
Chased on the memoirs narrow lanes,
Found you are not so far away from
My life, I tried and tried to overlook
Your domination in soul, heart, body but
Alas! Could not succeed to break out
Walking on the burning path of seared
Land, I would not ignored the grin of
Tender flowers, looking the surrounds
My life initiated a new expedition
Toward the life, my pain had the minor
Intensity than others, here I had to
Replaced all the warm kisses, hugs
Beautiful concealed bed-sharing nights
Liberated you from my persona, gradually
Wiped out the vapors of breathing
Condensed on the chest, lip marks on
Top of backbones, saliva of memories
Slowly disappeared down the ribs, your
Body odor at last left from the skins, hairs
Tonight I am going to put down all the
Weaknesses, I am sorry, wound has been
Filled by times, o moonlight do not peep in
Life, I am going to sleep with someone, tonight!

JUST STAY FOR SOMETIMES !
Please wait for little moment, let
Evening to share a few whispers
The sweet feeling has to ripe -
Unspoken delicacy of thought wants
Some more sap has to accumulate!
Do not leave me in a way that my
Heart has no choice, yet again
Moon is trying to stroll, slowly -
Just now jasmine have learned to smile
Dreams hiding somewhere in your
Vicinity, envious fragrance wandering
As nomad searching transitory
Shelter beneath the moonlit roof
Sky stretched serenity, oceanic corals
Reflected to blue, aquatic calm waves
Flowing under your eye edges
Let me breath for a second, life is
Engrossed under your thick eyelashes
Do not detach the finger web, shores
Moving away to dawn, I do not know
The naval way, might be go down
In shrinking pleasant moment just
Hang around; night has its own beauty
Do not remove the face, the sprouted
Emotion of chest may be dry, let the
Oasis of heart thrive for indefinite period
Flaming sand has to settle down
Internal thirst is naive, little persistent
Loneliness would be killed me, tonight!
Please do not leave me alone, I swear –
I would gaze you only, whole the
Starry night, I will love you with my eyes,
As a glassy object fragile !

Broken pieces of wings


Lighthouse, mass suicide of termites!
In the tip of cape, mariners anchored
The yacht, as in the eastern sky, density
Of clouds inciting rain to down pour,
Trembling window panes, seductive wet
Winds, fanatical candle flames, some
Bunch of red roses, in the finger tips mark
Of piercing thorn, covered pain by your
Colored lips, final touch to floral bed sheet!
Wiping the mirror, touching bulges of self
Muscles, atypical perception waiting
For you, unlocked doors, squirmy eyes!
At the door, footstep breaks obsession
Removing the raincoat, kissing lips had
No chance to say, the saga of heart,
Across the window glass, it was raining
Moisturized darkness, mysterious
Affectionate moment, termites get the
Delicate, glassy wings for one night
Empty vodka glasses, half burn cigarettes
Smokes went up, disappeared, the
Shower proof coat dried, beneath it
Remained wet floor, humid body did not
Attached for prolong, anchored loosed
Cyclonic waves liberated yacht, sailor
Drunk slept, rain had no relax, whole the
Night termites played suicidal excitement!
The first ray of sun delayed the voyage
As mariner missed the yacht, he ran
Shouted, cried, and did not trace the yacht!
Torrential rainy night, submerged beach,
Vanished light house, semi nude mariner
Searched the familiar raincoat, to cover his
Body, dreams were floating on the foams,
Slowly he touched wounded limbs, nail
Bite cuts; lifted the saline water of sea
Splashed on the chest, refreshed the life
Turmoil waves receding gradually
Still broken wings are visible down the
Waist, he smiles, wipes by injured fingers!
