letter of intent
Choose between your options
which one of these I am
for you
-Smart
-art
-dirt
Full marks on wrong answer
and languid stupor
leading to entropic daymare
The unleashed whim
choked on the black smoke
from blazing dreams
Noxious gaseous release
from melted illusions
trapped in silvery mirrors
Tap, tap, tap
The hourglass slips
The air hangs heavy
with unholy melancholy
It was really
Russian roulette
the moment it began
Ecstatic I wrote
couplets
on tear drenched tissue papers
Minutes expanded
to hours
as I rocked on
the wooden horse
weightless
with magical powers
until the storm arose
with the dragon
and you stood
on the light house
flashing the red lantern
in the haze
as I clung
onto the upturned boat
Tap, tap, tap
My heart hammered
with my gaze transfixed
on the red flash
behind the wall of glass
In limbo-light years-lives apart
and it all started
with a couplet
poetry had flowed
from my tar filled chest
My heart froze
as the words rose
they asked me
my identity paradigm
Blurred and messed up
it was
and the words howled
and circled
everything in the making
of a cliché
I was sent down a miasma
my heart was in the core
of the giant octopus
But Now I see-
they are all bats
upside down
in their collective trance
of practiced indifference
And you shed tears
I see your scales
with
my complete lack of surprise.
