I will slither around your neck and gnaw at your flesh till I mutilate you. I will bore my squalid, viridescent canines into your heart and rip out every capillary till i efface the crimson hue. I love green. It’s a fatal mistake humans find solace in the colour. Green is venom. It will guzzleContinue reading “Lacerated Flesh and Heart”

Clandestine Propinquity
The tents we built with the kind of fervor and vehemence you see in robots Fell apart in the storm we inflicted. We were in fact robots, oblivious to our other halves who pined day and night for our fingers to fit perfectly between theirs. We were victims of a mondegreen. We misinterpreted our song’sContinue reading “Clandestine Propinquity”
Shamrock
Why does he sit alone in the park? He sits on the bench, head bent low till his nose touches his dingy, little black notebook as he seems to be reading something. What a strange, strange boy. Only in brief moments in time have I really had the chance to see his face. A fleetingContinue reading “Shamrock”
Bleeding Pipe Dreams
Your every word feels like a needle piercing a million holes in my heart, When you look at me up and down and scrutinize all intricate details to find a flaw, I stand there with my head hung low and bleak eyes and clenched jaw. All you want is the best version from me, WhenContinue reading “Bleeding Pipe Dreams”
Bitter Perfection
The gleaming rings that adorn her slim fingers, The earring that dances oh so nimbly like she does; Grace and agility at their peak, Even rocks melt when she speaks. Her dresses, modish and enticing; every eye on her lingers. She smiles endearingly like a princess but the people call her queen. She climbs herContinue reading “Bitter Perfection”
Sweet 2021
Sweet 2021, You presented to me a shooting star. Glinting, blinding, brisk and swift. Then, withdrew it, conspiring to save it for later. You gave me, at your onset, sunshine and rainbows, flowers and flamingos, poetry and flourishing meadows. Then, in one swish wiped it all away, at your end, with floods and droughts, hurricanesContinue reading “Sweet 2021”
Memory Lane
The chilly, frigid evenings roll in one after another as I gawk out of the window with droopy eyes. Guffaws of pretentious men and women permeate in living rooms- chatting away, neglecting the presence of one. Waking up to grating, irksome alarms with a vacant, poignant space beside me and a home ample of peopleContinue reading “Memory Lane”
How Your Heart Raptured Mine
Your emerald eyes absorb me till I run as xeric as autumn. I cherish your presence more than mine, It’s more than just magical and divine. Hard to believe you’re true, or is it, haunting me from my past, a phantom? Not a single exchange of colloquy. Not even one in brevity. But on theContinue reading “How Your Heart Raptured Mine”
As Sinful As You
They say, Your heart is as pure as your intentions. Your words are a warm hug with no skin-ship. Everybody wants to be loved. Loved by you. Though there are repercussions. They say you are Venus in human form but, little do they know what you obscure behind your tight lips. I know what youContinue reading “As Sinful As You”
Not Anymore
Lost in a reverie, never to return. A starry night but, gloomy too. A pen clutched in my palm, my chin on the other and, the words don’t flow. I imagine, devise, and trust but, the words don’t connect. I tousle my hair in frustration, my mind pushes and pushes and pushes itself to itsContinue reading “Not Anymore”
