A Girl Always Just Two Hands Distance Away






















I see
something
quaint
yet ductile
in you,
sensible
but vulnerable
to the ways of
the world yet
to be discovered. I
think
you ought
to charm the
devils of life
to your sweet
inner
seduction.

I like the vibe
of a volunteer in
you.

There will be
hoards of
men
who ought not
to have
kissed you
in your
drunken
ecstasy. And a
few, who
perhaps
deserved it
a bit more.

May you stay a
fair child,
always

Time Is The Best Band-Aid




"Time is the best band-aid"
I told her
She hesitated to believe

Pain is hurtful to let go

Like all the other women
she looks lonely
travelling in the ladies' compartment

Only escalator seems gentle to her
It understands

Poor mighty escalator-
cursed to the fate of Sisyphus

He was an artist
She was in awe

A man, most definitely, is hollower than his works

Time, still, is the best band-aid

Happy Birthday


















Birthday girl's
name-
perfect graffiti
on the cake.
Burns a
tiny candle,
spitting below
another year

Damn!

.

Front Seat of a Bus






He counts
in chunks of five
the white rectangles
midway through the road
passing
underneath him
in quick succession

To some it bequeaths
love and hate

To some it confines
solitary fate


.

Just Like A Commode






Some things are like commode-
however beautiful they might look,
are meant just
to take other people's shit

Things that you
lust in her,
she is
sorry about

She is not always lonely

Just like a commode
