Good Bye

With welled up eyes,
I call upon your name,
one last time.

A goodbye
to the Gulmohar trees,
soldiering the streets,
and to
the sublime sunsets
in neon prints.

Ouroboros' Fate

I am crooked to peace,

to bear a heart that bleeds
and bursts each vein,

Cadmium Love

Beneath the sun
We immerse, hand in hand,
Our fingers in a lock
Flimsy, above this brisk sand
Its granule holds our tale
In rainbow ruffles
And flannels pale.

I love You Mom

As soft as jasmine in her hair,
or cadmium in our world so bare
our calmness against rushing shores.
She is the beauty in our lores.

Underneath

It's free fall
all the way 
down the abyss,
far, into the
deep blue numbness.

My Lilac

To me, my love,
no flower there shall be
that I cherish more than you.
No garden where I shall bloom
without you.

Am I

      

Am I pure?
or I have always carried a tainted soul.

Am I greedy?
For wanting what I deserve.

Am I bad-tempered?
For screaming, for stomping my feet.

Am I a hater?
For scorning at those better than me.

Am I beautiful?
With these cuts and scars.
