Flush

As the tongue invades in the mouth,
The body begins to gleam,
The heat invades further into completion
And parts of the body redden:
The lips, the back, the nipples.
It’s a blossoming of the wound,
The kneading of the ache,
The feeling of the pulse
Throbbing in parts mostly dormant.
The hand grips the back of the neck,
The pounding reaches the ears;
And when the kaleidoscope erupts,
The world is extinguished.

You Will Know

You hurt me by remembering,

Remembering, when you need me,

Forgetting, when I am alone

And sad and so life-weary.

 

You hurt me by asking favours,

When a hello would mean concern,

Sometime yesterday, when I had

Testing life lessons to unlearn.

 

You hurt me by being a part

Of worlds I never got to see,

You do not get to pity me

You can’t ask if I am lonely.

 

You do not understand now

What life will definitely show,

When it corrodes and torments you,

Then, then you will know.

 

 

Worlds

where has the world swung

vanished quietly

into the cold outside

and inside

 

voices speak to yesterday

and wonder why

feelings hear tomorrow

yet refuse to die

 

the world seems to appear

a gaping wound

surrounded by gore

of all the years

 

a large yo yo

dangling

from a white beard

unwashed and tangled

 

another world swings in

on gollum’s hair

reeking of fish

and heat

 

 

it hits the wound

and rebounds

was that world real

or is this one?
