Hemorrhagic diathesis

O my well-wishers,
Please, Please!
Gift me a cactus
On my birthday
As she had
No way of knowing
That I bleed from
Her touch

Pain catches up

I eluded him for a decade
Pain caught up with me at last
Struck by my guilt possession
Leaving me on my own
He couldn’t resist asking
“What have you done mate?”

How to handle parents

Call me your lover
In case you don’t remember
What’s in the name
For there is nothing
Which I don’t surrender
Caste, I belong to none
The question about my religion
Please don’t answer
Instead ask your parents
To drink up the coffee
That I drink
And 
Don't tell them in advance
It is bitter

Café Invitation

When crowd strips off your identity
Their parameters restricts your creativity             
When you walk ‘alone’ among friends
I welcome you to inhale aroma of sacred diversity

Dependence

Your need of love
Despite her bitter words
Drown you in tear memories
And
Blast your ears with deafening soul-ache
It's your choice whether to live or 
Re-live the pain

A Summer Vacation

Contents of her journal
Belonged to someone else
Someone like her
His
Sweat and stench
Dreams and impossibility
Fragility and arrogance
Smile and ego
Her sweet poems
Turned sour
Like the milk left out
In summer
Why had she gone home
And left him alone

Death of a tree

It has been raining
Tear
Marks on her cheeks
She sobs
Walking around a tree
Studded with yellow colored holes
On its circumference
Xylem and phloem drinks up
Injected toxic metals
Poisons leave
No leaves and shade
She shivers
From
Cold weather
