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.
