Welcome home
Misery embraces me
It’s smell so comforting
Dark, musk, pungent
Comforting
Welcome home
It’s smell so comforting
Dark, musk, pungent
Comforting
Welcome home

HER
Send us to the pigs,
so we can live in them”
The demons begged
Wearily,
the men paddled the canoe to the sea shore
The fishing expenditure had been futile
No single fish had been caught
Both the left and the right side brought no yield
Slowly, they came out of the canoe
Dejection written all over their faces
How they would survive, they didn’t know
Suddenly,
The ground shook greatly
As if a great multitude of soldiers were marching,
marching unto war
They looked ahead to see what was coming
The dust of the...

“You'd never marry him”
“Never!”
“Over my dead body”
Mama screamed angrily
Alisha felt a knot
building in her throat
“Mama but I lov…”
She trembled, holding back tears
Mama slapped her face hard
“You belong to Yellamma”
“Drill that into your dense skull”
Mama stormed out
She sobbed frantically
My story
The sun shone weakly
The breeze blew gently
The golden and scarlet coloured leaves danced gallantly
It was a beautiful day
Her sari...

Tragic,
was the adjective to qualify the last few days
Day hadn’t wrapped before night came
Oh death!
You faceless traitor
With saturated eyes,
i gulped more bottles of whiskey
The pain was numbing
I was numb with pain
To fight the grief was the purpose of drinking
And truly I won the battle
But the victory was short lived
Cause the grief died,
and reincarnated to suppressing depression
The burial was today
Grandpa’s burial was today
The pain of grief thickened
Solemn were the occupants of...

Remember Me?
I take you to be my wife
I promise to be true to you
in good and in bad
in sickness and in health
I will love and honor you
all the days of my life
"Another shot of Martini yo"
I asked, getting tipsy
The hot sensation from the gin excited me
I loosened my tie,
racked my hands through my hair
The slit in her gown had my mind wandering
Her red lipstick had my mouth watering
"Can I have a glass of Vieux Carre?"
She asked the bartender in a sedating voice
"Make it two,
bills...

Long days...
Short nights...
Developing darkness
Short days...
Long nights...
Enveloping darkness
Drunk words...
Slurred speech...

PRECIOUS
Pretty, she looks
Sophisticated, she is
Tightly, she hooks
Elegant, she is
My heart, she took
Precious, she is
Sophisticated, she is
Tightly, she hooks
Elegant, she is
My heart, she took
Precious, she is
