POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
An unhappy index finger and his neighbors
I watch my cognition turn autistic from your absence
Snipping off the mazes once carved to entice you organs
And seek asylum in cadence Wishing to tell you plain
I hope you get stabbed by envy when
you discover myfailure to abstain
from laying my unattired self beside
An old sweetheart of my miserable tides, a
verse of pain, A dissatisfied
conclusion
Three fingers couldn’t be enough to please
yet again.

Attempt at freestyling
Oh I can’t do this, this ain’t for me
Forcing myself to think, but don’t feel free
No offence please, but me ain’t crossin’ this fence
These beats, they leave me chasing my silence
So forgive my words and kindly move on
I’ve got my own prison bars to cling on (to).

Nursery Rhyme Malfunction
seated in a corner, just like old times
grown-up thumbs of the same little Jack Horner
opened a window
for a dip in a pickle
of odd rituals
with plums and apple
pie on their altar
trying to rub fire
inside throbbing flesh,
like the cave-man used to do with
two wild twigs watching
their feeble knees pine for sparks of static electricity;
but tonight
I give up
and
Observe

Crocodile diaries
A lot to live and fix, With
these bones two hundred and six.
Skydiving with the kites, Stunting on flashy bikes
Growling on my mike, Breaking limbs to the vibe
Feeding my hungry reptile, Sporting my rakish spikes.
So dump this droopy poet, drug him to sleep
For an old sack to discover when he'll see his life creep.
Got to go smoke some money, Sell hard work
Kill a bit of thinking, Pretend sweet love
And find a surface smooth, submissive to her luck
To smack like a primate when days bite the dirt.

The kiss
Twenty-two years tamed his lips
Pumping patience in ventricles of lead.
And now, in this blink, wearing thin,
Lung sacs wheeze, for the pinch of peace virgin
Diffusing through his temperate
haemoglobin
While blearing episodes of a prose unsalted
Thresh themselves with tranquil whips.
Pumping patience in ventricles of lead.
And now, in this blink, wearing thin,
Lung sacs wheeze, for the pinch of peace virgin

The exam
When I was a child,
I used to dream of coming first in the toughest exam ever
Having a billion aspirants.
I grew up and found, only one of its kind.
I don't have to surpass others to shine,
But survive
Script a story, tile by tile.
A reason I have to not like an exam
After all this while.

Stain on my interview shirt
Her eyes sparkling,Burrowing inside a bag of malnutrition
Expecting spare change ..Little Angel, my heart wishes
mention of his want to empty himself,You made him rue the
reservation fate had for me. Let me become the investment banker,
And he will find a day to pamper
your Smile.
That interview defied me but gave my calendar an
excuse To skip that day , Should've inferred her prayers were dwarfed of their use,
That god, they've constructed up there, And he doubts, dwelling in our soul,
Piles up our gluttony, thankfully, And...

Arthropodic Metabolism
Isolation that once kicked them sails,
Clawed them into thepieces of sky
cladding Rarefied air.
Cascades of turbulence, they tilt and swaya horizon
chewing vacuum in its gum
munching my crispiness, stimulating its bowels,
playing with the
Backdrops of a night club teeming withthree pairs of jointed legs
licking Deviant antennae
content with the canvas of compound eye cells
hatching,
crying, learning,earning, making love. Resenting,scratching,withering,
Colonising the cloud of a green harlot.

An unexpected sapling
Defecate
your favorite color
on the beliefs of a
bee
with directionless wings
probably treading on its own stings
or a free swallow ruminating its misery mellow,
Citing your torrid love affair
with freedom of expression fair.
Congratulations! a curtain of objective artistic sense
just leaked a pinch of offence
into the Galaxy of
Acrimony
Spiralling in this universe.
