It's forgotten!


Oh I forgot,
just like I forget to sleep,
these days of spring...
When the birds sing, make love.

See, I don't read life,
or its books;
when I find a paperback,
I tear its cover,
build a wobbly ship,
and float it down the drain
that takes out the sins
of my commute,
to the depths of this
city I call home.

Then, my heart betrays me,
halfway through that peeled
bestseller...
Yes, I forgot how to write.

Hide n Seek


Hiding between clean,
ironed linen;
I delay the inevitable,
blocking the pouring love from
pals, aunts and the known skies here,
from touching those
few faded yellow pages
of a kindergarten colouring
book I kept safe 
between quantum mechanics notes,
biographies, Playboys and some
paperbacks I’m yet to open...


I fear that bond
and its strength to
seep through the tiny
pores of my now
thickened hide and into my heart,
holding it home, sweet home.
Away from the dust and storms
I seek now... Shalt receive now!
