As a matter of life

Let’s sweat our heart
cool our mind,
relax for a while.

Out of thought
of any plight
each moment without strife.

Lets make out
in half lit nights
without promises,

to see again
tomorrow night
with the same fervor.

Lets talk over,
not in whispers,
but out of others ears.

of kink and fantasy,
life and its meaning,
emotions and separations.

Lets share our time,
not at clockwork,
not by calendar,

on auspicious
or mutually agreed time,
but like a bee and a flower.

Under the sun,
in act of living,
not as a matter of life.

Unveiling

Death unveils me
without my knowledge.
Time cedes and so does
my memory.
I write this in my obituary,
before I cease to exist.

Retelling of memories
and what mattered,
wish I could foretell
that momentary lapse
of reason for emotion.

So, my last note is of
eulogised regrets,
and overarching gratitude,
concerned of the image
I leave behind,
for my wife, kids and kins.

Till the last breath,
my ego holds me tight.
Surrendering to divine
is still foolish.

Portrayed in the image
diligently crafted to believe it is me;
shredding to pieces
all the while living,
until death unveils me.

Imbued in me

From the window,
I see the world of my survival
which is a large expanse.
From my balcony I see
the mast at the harbour,
and the worlds beyond from where
I get
my peaches and apples.

From Turkish towel of France
to the t-shirt from Bangladesh,
I am what everyone is,
with the whole of mankind on me.
If you see through
what adorns me
I am
the whole of humanity in me.

From messages of love and hate
to instant news,
I am closer to everyone
in awe, inspiration, disdain, approval and rejection.
But in acceptance, humility and compassion,
I am
imbued in all and all in me.

Comatose

Sickman lying comatose,
feeling lonely even with the fever,
that doesn’t release him without.
Sickman, ,deadman, seaman, man of man, king maker, king himself.

Lying naked burning under the sheets,
under his skin, under his heart
that pumps blood faster than needed.
And burning deep within the void where only awareness goes.

The blood has salt, salt eating his bones.
The sea is far and hull done with.
Comatose, comatose, comatose.

He can hear his wife,
rambling curses for her life,
wretched him and his friends,
viled and wasted without a dime.
He walked in the sun, it wasn’t shine on summer days,
nights were hard too,
and friends were all he had.
As he lies he sees none other than that, paraquet perched on the parapet.
Rest all is
Comatose, comatose , comatose.

Wandering his mind,
mother embracing the child
pleading to slow down,
there is nothing in the toy,
the red car will bewitch and steal you away from her.
The sea he crossed, for his dreams had called.
He was no more wild and jumped to the otherside.
Comatose, comatose, comatose.

This side, other side, any side,
This way, no way, any way,
He led all the way to watching
the paraquet fly away.
He is in his self now, all the while
he was sailing
Comatose, comatose, comatose.

Love Note #90 – Sexed Up

I want to sex you up.
Seething and pent up,
scorching the sweat
into ambrosia.

Seek my blood,
prey on me.
Like a gazelle I run,
from the break of dawn,
till the light relinquishes to the dark,
relishing the gnashing bite
of pleasure and pain.

Suck the life of me,
kill my will.
I want to witness
the death of my desires
to live as a slave
in quite obedience to your
sexed up self.

Dice in love

You will see me smiling in all photographs,
In the moment of joy see my arms spread,
holding the frame as it is my responsibility.

My eyes won’t betray, my heart is unseen and my deep emotions won’t show,
Unknown to rest, only she sees,
I am broken but held together in promises.
Of these, only few are to myself.

Love has been unkind. Or it wasn’t there ever.
Unchained yet not free,
but words are used to keep me,
sometimes at bay or sometimes at home.

Love seems like a game.
And the fool in me will play like the dice that throws number for the winners sake.

Love Note #89 – Love I want

Photo by Satish Photos: https://www.pexels.com/

I have put my love through tests
in my mind, filtering with logic and reason,
donning the lense of morality, norms and accepted conduct.

I have seen and observed many a woman in their defined societal cage,
in their hypergamy and blasphemy in thoughts, trusted as imperative to their hormonal twists, heralded by their maturing self.

And I have come to belive the one I love is true despite all womanly affliction.
Her sensitive empathy overlaid on her love,
I wish I was lucky to have her besides me.
Now dying each day with just memories of time spent with her, that are stolen when destiny blinks.

Bliss without hope

Photo by Julia Volk: https://www.pexels.com/

Maybe it’s not all over,
Not done till the end is the end.
Hope is a malice
for them, who play with an unlucky hand.

In the end when all is over,
before that hope disappears.
In its fading light a new one is born.
different in experience but same in essence.

But, no hand is unlucky
that loves with a free mind.
The bond of heart runs deep
where the mind is not tied in hopes.

The lucky and unlucky hand are born of hope,
and hope by worldly knowledge.
The wise one is not shackled to it
as love shall seek that which is eternal bliss.

Love Note #88 – Effulgence

Photo by George Shervashidze: https://www.pexels.com/

I am happy all the while except
when I try to run away
from the magnetic love of your being.

On every spark of memory
I contort my imagination
to keep you away.

Sometimes I walk alone the shores
where no soul meanders,
so I can immerse in my thoughtless zone.
But my hormones have synced with yours;
they drive my madness as much as yours.

Let’s make love, like we never loved before.
Our body and mind shall meet on the grounds
where we are not perceptions of each other,
neither distinct nor united.
But as one,
like light and shadow,
day and night.
Like cosmic effulgence,
at the genesis of life.

Love Note #87- Loyally Alone

I will stay alone with your thoughts,
May be, still wander with my soul seeking
answer to my peaceful self.

I shall stay around your thoughts.
When the stream runs cold and hot,
I will be there to wade you through.

Regardless our shadows that can’t meet,
my desires diffuse in a state of awareness.
Yet, I shall walk with the solace of a saint who is free.

It’s your essence that is the genesis,
of my storm and the calm.
That contrast is the test of my mind.

It will be hard journey without you.
But, you ensnared me to loyalty,
by teaching me the art of peaceful solitude.
