BEFORE THE IMMERSION 

I couldn’t answer, just stared the face

Expression, on that fuzzy nightfall, the

Bunch of red roses, I had kept aside

And peeped through the depth of wet

Eyes, “I won’t meet again said by you”

Simply on that moment, the glass villa

Of our love, collapsed soundlessly but

All the sinking nights of past emerged,

As untamed river of emotion recedes

From the coarse shore, proverbial -

Body odor, passionate deep sigh, the

Entire revelation of covert relationship,

However unwillingly you couldn’t avoid,

Vis-à-vis to my persona, unseen cord of

Obsession brought near the chest, in

The shadows of that moonless night, the

Decision to leave me alone, rejuvenated,

Moreover, you said, “I wouldn’t be alive

After severance from you “on that point,

Life felt the significance of extreme love,

Which I have, the regrets had its own

Magnetism, I couldn’t go away for a while,

Extinct oceanic islands suddenly emerged,

Illuminated, sailor of gloom anchored -

The yacht in the planet of sapphire sky,

Gleaming dewdrops, gradually sprinkled,

THE CONCORD OF DARKNESS

On the surface of meadow, dotted

Night bloom, as the moist emotion

Desires to unfold the undisclosed

Flimsy moment, life had been sign

On the biography, written by your

Mysterious, unexplained language

Of body, translated by density of

Nearness, in the short distance all

The nocturnal fragrance attracted,

The enlightening wings of celestial

Crystals decorated the seclusion, the

Concaved valleys submerged into

The moonlight, bushed memories

Of life extinct into mist of wild falls,

I have had to say you lot, the heart’s

Rhythm couldn’t reach on the cord

Of perception, stunned sentiments

Didn’t find out the dodging direction,

I accepted the extensive, the flowing

Acquiescence s, silently your emotion

Overlapped my burning crater, the fire

Bath converted the life into the purity,

The crystal clear soul emerged in the

End of night, near the horizon line,

THE SWEET BREAK UP

In future maybe I’ll meet you with

Complete allegiance, full-fledged

Buoyancy, twilight let me float in 

Reverse flow of wild stream, the –

Life meandering as dry leaves of

Autumn, flying emotion doesn’t

Want to inhabit in the corner of

An individual’s possession, zeal

To get the planet of innovative

Definition, heart desires to quit

The familiar path, to pursue the

Polytheism adoration of love –

One day I’ll write the poetry of

Intense devotion on the surface

Of ignited submission, juvenile

Decisions are the decked glass,

Perhaps it will break easily, just

Release me from the unwanted

Connection, after fulfilling your

Needs, the overwrought chains

Of predilection easily would be

Corroded, better to say here, the

Good-bye with dreamy eyes, let

Me learn more about the life –
