Rock, Paper, Blindspot, and You

August 2, 2017

And so here I am,
Back again in your blindspot.
Not in your thoughts,
Nor in your fascinations,
Not even a chance, years from now,
To be in your recollections.

To be in your blindspot,
Is like not even being born,
But conscious enough to lament.

And so here I go,
In this august month of 2017,
Back into the blindspot,
Back into the Total Eclipse.

And I will look for you wistfully,
Among people coming in droves to see me.
Showing them my fate, cautioning them in whispers,
Not to be your enemy, you the heartless one.

Our Marriage, Made in Heaven

And so here we are
Back again
To you being you
Me being without you
An old poem, dressed in new clothes.

My New Home

I woke up late to a still mind.
A second later the voice of inspiration
Whispered. Only its presence, not any words.

23 and You and Me

One look, one word
And I died everyday
I didn’t kiss you
Now, after 23 years
I still live
For one word, for one look
And for one kiss
To encode life
Into my 23 pairs

Lakshmi Dreams

I just had a dream. I dreamt that you were trapped in your house. Also, maybe you had fever. I was desperate to see how I can reach you. And then the scene changed. I was knocking on your door. Door opened and your...
