Happy high and boundaries


Today we sat in a pub
With a beer glass each
And a pitcher kept at our side
Which miraculously never emptied.
We were drawing our lines
Each with a chalk
They blurred... We crossed..
And came back to our lives
Tipsy. fudgy . Mud headed.

You said .. we are two lost souls
Drowning in a beer mug
I corrected you...
Nah... Drowned in beer pitcher
You said with a long face...
Do not look at the outside...

And then the universe started to expand
Or so my other drunk friend said..
(Rang me up)
So the tiny bubbles oozed up to the surface
And burst
Like stars in the sky...
And spread like dusts
Across our universe
Settled on our eyes...
As we walked past slumber.
We did not count how many fell
In my side of the line
And how many on your court...

Already in her 40’s, her body exuded the rare combination of sensuality, intelligence and beauty. As an artist, she always had her muses in younger men---guys in their 20’s. The passion that these men enthused kept her adrenaline gushing and her arts towered to their crescendo. Her paintings were vividly...

The Dirtier skin

"no ship will ever take you away from yourself"---Constantine Cavafy That was long ago. Very long ago. It was that particular time of year when the shadows dance around your face as the moonlight seeps through broken clouds. We lay close, your hands trying to sketch the reality into my ears----the existence of a career and success, of a circle of friends and family, of fame and of you.  Your soothing words were covering my eyes like a lullaby, I was slipping but slumber wasn’t heavy on my eyes. I heard your voice. I saw the clouds. There was something I was waiting for. I didn’t know. Maybe a kiss. You kissed me tight. I was still waiting. I looked at the sky. The place where the moon supposedly hid herself was dimly bright beneath the clouds. I heard you say something… "your skins dirty from all that walking. Go have a bath and see you at work tomorrow”. You left.  I lay there numb , playing with my hair …minutes lapsed …I don’t know when but I slipped into a...
