last song of dusk
i.
The cream rug
of the afternoon years ago
with psychedelic patterns
of blood and semen
A seamless vista of life
or the usual result
of fornication
Torn membranes
and surging pain
Heavy panting
and light heads
watching the spectacle
of diurnal carnality
unfold from which
trees would sprout
robust
as the tides of time
curl-unfurl
ii.
The limited edition
Paradise Regained
with a cursive hand
saying 'anonymous'
or the desolation
on the first anniversary
An old flame
or the ghost of the dead wife
Ageless love or
limitless-uncontained lust
Unanswered questions
hang like naked swords
as the smell of a paperback
fills the room
and a fulfilling emptiness
gives company at crossroads
You reflect-regret-relate
iii.
An oscillating daisy
with radiant petals
inside the large beaker
of crystalline water
fills its cells with
nourishment
and inspiration
A large drop of crimson
makes impact
followed
by a flow-
continuous
generous
from the fresh cut
on the wrist-
clean and precise
Two eyes stare
at the stigmata of love
seep out to a medium
of lesser viscosity
sparkling now
with poisoned blood
The dripping sap
of an oddly poised life
insipid-irrelevant
iv.
The silhouette of
a wiry old man
sitting on the terrace
shaded by the adjacent banyan-
majestic-content
behind the thick foliage
and intricate designs
hides the secrets
of a life less ordinary
of a unconsummated marriage
sleepless nights
joyless days
and the times of a recluse-
chosen by will
memories having been rendered
intangible-fragile-galactic
bring the familiar sense
of nostalgia back…
that fills the profound emptiness
till the eyelashes droop
For a while.

:) I entered this in
a competition yesterday.
The one dedicated to the
Old which is run by Violet.
And the feeling of familiarity
is always there. I know.
