thot- blots

i don't know

2012-01-09T00:48:00.002+05:30

i am confused and
bored
to find out the
answer to my confusion
i wish to be in
this state of inertia
forever
but people always want to move further
and they want more
and they want answers

thank you

2012-01-09T00:36:00.001+05:30

it's funny..

i always get the most random of things that i want
simple objects or people in fleeting succession
seem to somehow drift in my direction

if i've wished for it at some earlier point of time
karma plays weird tricks

kitty

2012-01-09T00:29:00.001+05:30

do not call it ugly:
you could use the term "interesting"

so, i keep seeing this tiny kitten
that creeps under cars
and feeds on the scraps near the dustbin

it's coat is a motley of brown and black
in strange patterns
like an old stained rug

so pretty!

2012-01-09T00:20:00.002+05:30

surrounding myself with needy people
somehow seems to justify
my bleak existence
in this world
and reaching out to give
is only to fill my own void within

snip

2012-01-09T00:13:00.002+05:30

sometime after midnight, i chopped off my hair hoping that i could relieve myself of some of the baggage that i was carrying around.
maybe even go back to being more of the person i was in my first year of degree college
... yet it looks nothing like it used to
and i feel a little foolish afterwards.

work-in-progress

2012-01-07T18:28:00.000+05:30

half eaten burgers
and half read books
trail me around
everywhere i go,
everything i step on
is wilting

stop

2011-12-23T23:40:00.001+05:30

stir not the ants that strive to play
the field is theirs and
them alone
shall have access to this day

gone,
are the birds of yesterday
and quiet
are the bees that stirred in may

crOwn

2011-12-23T23:20:00.002+05:30

nothing more than delusional
imaginary meanderings of a little girl

who dreamt of her countrymen
and her courtiers'

presenting themselves
with a crown upon a platter

and

hmm

2011-12-23T23:14:00.003+05:30

all's not well
i can tell

i wish i could chew on my fingernails
but they're too hard-
cold and manicured

Susanna sings...

2011-12-17T11:30:00.003+05:30

and a multitude of other things

are on her mind,
while she trips along...

Smiling, swaying,
uncertain, unsteady-
a selfish little stump
swimming in the cloudy seas
where Time: does not care,
or even matter

'cos Drowning is an arduous affair
when you're built to function
like a floating hypno-tree,
with the buzzing bees, etc.
swamping out your symphony.

wireD

2011-12-10T12:23:00.001+05:30

wires and cable lines

connecting us everywhere

how tiring

it all must be

-the responsibility

of staying connected.

phonies

2011-12-10T12:15:00.001+05:30

they came in two's
and preached
and pranced
of their master
the leader of their clan

they spoke of auras
and the infinite soul
and they said they knew
how certain sentiments grew

yet, the ladies seemed funny
and when the brochures were out
i knew they were phonies

2011-12-10T12:13:00.001+05:30

I've lost a lot of
"things"
some living, some non

sometimes misplaced
broken or replaced

loves me a lot
and he follows me around
going " miaow, miaow"

sunshine
somtimes trickles through the rotting walls
and old wooden rings can't do much

to block the attack
of alien lands.

my friend

2011-12-06T12:12:00.001+05:30

a lot of things
she needs to say

a multitude
of opinions, facts and figures
up her sleeve

and day by day
i watch her
deteriorate

into an old wrench
gossipy:
filled with
resentment and remorse

of yesterday.

conclusion

2011-12-06T12:09:00.001+05:30

Life is grey.
and at both ends

You
are gonna get
bruised
and thrown away.

left behind to suffer
in silence.

i am sorry.
i must run...
again.

like always.

2011-11-30T20:00:00.001+05:30

p.d
need not
always
be "treated"

fixed

2011-11-30T19:59:00.001+05:30

are your thoughts
one sided
single minded
how simple.

G-rounded

2011-11-30T19:54:00.001+05:30

keep swirling and twirling
forever floating around
the big cherry tree
that once was fixed

and reality
merges
with the caffeine in your blood

2011-11-14T01:23:00.001+05:30

take a steaming wok
and cram it it up with people
white- black yellow- green
add a sprinkling of fresh lime
and a dash of dry humor

stir fry till lightly brown
and serve hot.
yeh hai aaj ki taaza khabbar
ley lo - ley lo!

groaning and grumbling
under the weight of the sand
and the skies above

unearthed from rough soil
to the sandier gunny bags

he does this

2011-11-08T22:54:00.000+05:30

With a grim expression,
making progressive gyrations
he wobbles here
and a little there
right-left
up-down
covers all area
on the dance floor.

cold and grey
or "gray"

in silver ripples
with every successive
entry of aliens
into thy territory

some boats
meant for one
tend to drown
when rowed
by two.

it's a delight

of a simple fool
life would be sweet
if everyone were as
simple as you

BLOBS

2011-10-30T12:40:00.000+05:30

BIG BLOBS of fire
float AROUND the room
of HUMANS who smirk
REVELING in some offhand quirk

I am the sideshow
I AM THE WALL
i decide who leaves
and who shall STALL

on running

2011-10-25T20:52:00.001+05:30

what do you do

if someone wants to run

with you

you: who has grown

roots, far too deep

into the soils

of a different clime

........................

is it the roots

or the branches overhead

that burden

ho-hum

2011-10-25T20:44:00.001+05:30

after a point,
it's all humdrum
there's no joy
to be found
in endless
consumption

i'm so tired
of all this
thick gravy
dripping

2011-10-15T16:15:00.001+05:30

smiling
she dances
in circles
floating
1/4

people
don't notice
this difference
between she-heels

in between

soft heels and softer ground

it softly surmises
the extent

2011-10-10T03:01:00.002+05:30

please do not let it happen again

2011-10-08T02:33:00.001+05:30

it's a strange creature

this thing called identity

you are advised

to proceed with caution

and nurture with care- your identity

step out of the line a little

and there you go

you've created an unmistakeable dent

on your i-dent-ity

leave the blanks alone

2011-10-08T02:26:00.001+05:30

most conversations do not make sense,
simply warbling- they fill in spaces,
with pointless chatter,
I beg of you:
Quit fumbling with the spaces-
leave the blanks alone
Simply be

Hands

2011-10-08T02:06:00.000+05:30

The rain helps
As my plants do not need watering
and the fish can do without
A change of water to dance in
tandem: the drops of pelting mush

We pirroute in cirlces
And swim about in the slush
a hazy dream
of the green, the orange and a pink
Tuna for a Sunday treat

and winces for scraps of attention
from some asshole in the north.

sartre shuns the daylight
and progressively resigns
to a life of smoke
with no fire-
only ash and soot
to cradle him
in warmth
and loving silence

2011-09-16T01:15:00.002+05:30

the scissors go snip-

and the deed is done.

long locks of grey sweep the floor;

granny's had a new haircut for the show...

hence

2011-08-26T17:25:00.002+05:30

it's that time of the day again
where you curl up with a steaming mug
and take comfort in the raindrops
falling on your deep brown chai

Flying Frogs

2011-08-25T19:08:00.000+05:30

How you flit about and gloat

Shining: your veiled skin of silver green

It's gleaming... finally !

As you croak about to glory

In praise of the new found bride

You are enchanted and the warts begin to splutter,

As the she frog's eyes go all aflutter

Ah! What splendid times and tinkling rhymes

C-R-A-S-H- An old tree renders frog to slime.

go

2011-08-09T01:41:00.000+05:30

stop.
to think.
why we
must read this
and that

2011-08-09T01:31:00.004+05:30

pitiful
is the picture
of ignorance
when we laughed
and knew not
of the sorrow
of two day

2011-08-09T01:28:00.002+05:30

my eyes ache
and i'm tired
i need sleep

things we do

2011-07-30T02:56:00.001+05:30

now the door's creaking shut
as the keeper mutters
and rambles on;
i dream of cloudy days
sitting under the sky
we sat and sniffed
until it rained:
and we danced like madmen

red chinese

2011-07-30T02:51:00.003+05:30

ruby-ish ants
creeping craftily
all over me!
Writhing pain
inside out
blood red.
Are we dead yet?

_____

2011-07-30T02:41:00.004+05:30

You write
pointless rhymes.
Directionless:
neither here nor there
not even in between
within or without.
Only wanton words
gingerly fished out
with your clubbed hands
- such foolish finds...

run

2011-07-30T02:34:00.003+05:30

I stop and start
shuffling my way back to class
up the stairs or by the lift
i run and run and nearly miss
A series of weekdays
go by in running
after classes
running after attendance
after lunches
and dopey dinner times
all a line of endless
Pending things-to-do

...

2011-07-18T17:32:00.000+05:30

the wait
is a journey in itself
as a million memories
simmer below the suface:
they rise like bubbles
and vanish as air
as if it was never there

plonk

2011-07-14T20:18:00.002+05:30

she flops down in a clump
a lump of layered excesses
floating about in measured steps
disrupting the waves in the room
oh lumpy lass of loving lard

folder

2011-07-14T20:14:00.002+05:30

Mo marching bands
and pompous fanfare
nor beaming parents swathed in gold
only the still of the oak-lined room
and the faces of my fellow partners in crime

Humming along some Tamil song
the examination officer
hands over the leather bound folder
revealing a brief sparkle of thirty two
here we are ...graduates at last!!

you

2011-07-01T20:12:00.001+05:30

i see most people as animals
some gloat about like frogs and don't do much
while some others flit about and twitter like sparrows
mostly they are warm like dogs or regal and aloof like cats
but you
wouldnt fit anywhere
a square peg

and

2011-07-01T20:08:00.000+05:30

in the morning the trees
stretch out and beckon me
come out lazy kid
crawling up and out and i glance back at you
you'll be fine for sure today
by afternoon the clock starts ticking again

curtained reality

2011-05-26T19:06:00.001+05:30

i slipped and fell
seems i'm only human
at the end of it all
the wings u drew on me
they didn't break my fall

2011-05-26T19:02:00.002+05:30

the stone stared at the sky
and the sky smiled down at him
in mutual admiration :)
that's what equals do

2011-05-03T20:28:00.003+05:30

Granny tucks in her pickled radish:
softly swirling in air tight containers,
they all look so pretty and Pink:
blushing with the rush of youthful vigor.

And the jars- Oh! Jars of heaving colour
Seem to urge a sweet escape...
"CRASH !!"
"wHOdunit?" o__O

There's no one here;
Only peach stained trails
Of some folk's sweeping tails...

2011-05-03T20:26:00.001+05:30

and it's always there;
crawling on all fours
at the back of my head:
monsters from yesterday.

2011-05-03T20:25:00.002+05:30

...we baked cupcakes the other morning
crunchy crumbling bits and pieces
of brittle dreams and star stained faces...

shaded trance

2011-04-18T17:00:00.003+05:30

..blinded by the blistering crowds;

she knelt beneath the silent moon,
where the stillness of the moonbeam lights
offset the soft swirling of grey ash
falling incessantly around her feet

shielding her in little towers of grandiosity...

as jasmine teaches....

2011-02-09T13:11:00.002+05:30

one by one

the petals trinkle down

floating and spiralling

downwards; rythmically

as i watch it breathe

i sink softly
into a sweet dream...<3

so ..

2010-11-04T23:32:00.002+05:30

the remorse in your voice waddles its way out
and i'm stuck in a city
without a single soul

Mutually, we eat out alone
dreams of candy fluff
and sands that swim with sepia blue
i miss you

blah on

2010-11-04T23:24:00.003+05:30

My life drags me down ...
the duress creases out/in...
concentric patterns that entwine
and i need to break away
i'm chipping and i'm lovin it !

Musings: crumbs

when we were young-er

2010-07-29T11:12:00.003+05:30

as babies we would crawl and scrawl
as proud parents beamed and bawled
worried my ass off about what you'd say
if you'd find me here today

as i see the baby here
as i find him smile and squeal
a lightning bolt: potter- like
hits me fair and square in the face

time stands still
and just for for once , we are still the same

whirls me up and flings me down

creeping about behind the doors
the doors of my room
they continiously creak
as i send out freak messages
bleep bleep

words

2010-05-06T10:07:00.003+05:30

as i pause to speak
my words
they cease to spill
they twist about and condensate
chunky masses of junky spate
i look around
and look inwards
where erring thoughts
they conflagrate
to confuse and bemuse..

Dumbstruck
Them and me
Who am I.

lip service to the standing queen
vanilla favour
favour me
sweet pea
crusty nutty flavours
spellbinding
creepy colours
dirty white
his face alight
