Self care

Walk bare foot
In a park. Have tea.
Try different types. Green, Red
And of course white.
Morning paper, watered plants.
Sticky notes. Neatly arranged.
One crooked.
Hum Songs. Long showers.
Movies. That make you cry.
Memories. That make you smile.
And be sad.. a little.
Piano lessons. Someday.
Own Studio. Colour all over.
Diaries… some pain.
Write letters.
Books, Wednesday evenings.
Pastry, Sunday afternoons.
Solo breakfast.. Saturday morning.
Rains and window stares.
Transparent cups and tea leaves
Floating.
Slow pop. Dance alone.
Love. Kiss.
Love till the other loves.
Love when they leave.
But don’t hold on.
Believe.
Call over friends.
Read them stories. And serve them tea.
Some cookies.
Write.
Pack your bags, travel.
Near. Far. Within.
Without.
Solo. With people.
Love. Hate. But never show.
Cigarettes when you write.

Write. Write. Write.

Except the slow waltz that played in their car, everything was quiet. Wasn’t this what they both wanted? Albeit, for different reasons. Quelling their excitement, they wore the well-rehearsed masks of fear and disgust for getting caught in this unwanted situation. She had carried the knife hidden securely beneath the drapes of her dress as was his lust, veiled by the clemency of his innocent blue eyes. 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...

De ja vu'

Those days, hot and sultry as young love, ended with tea and smoke. I never smoked, though...or did I not? Smoke like love is inductive. When all around you, people smoke and drink and love... A yearning grows in you. Which satiates itself in passive inhalation. Much like falling in love with characters from folds of a dusty classic. Forgotten and imaginary, just like me. In the commotion of a roadside stall, filled with smoke layered conversations that oozed out of us, like the departing sunlight filtered through a mess of cracked wall and cobwebs, I had seen you. I had seen you through a gap within the smoke. The snakes and dragons of smoke curled around you and you looked somewhere far. It is as if nothing touched you. That mad unsettled look in your eyes had settled in some other world. You felt the weight of my gaze. I had always wondered how gaze feels like a touch. Like a deep slumber that has touched your eyes and you cannot see. And you looked at me...
