a beautiful painting
depicting a gory thing
a rivetting story
that makes you cringe
the taj under a moonlit sky
being burnt to the ground
a gorgeous woman
bruised, gagged and bound
a thriving democracy
disguised as a brutal army
sent in to subjugate a people
asking for azaadi
or, even, the right to be
good heavens, pakistani!
anything, but an accursed part
of what might have been
jammu & kashmir

La vie en rose

2007-07-16T06:44:00.000-07:00

A dollop of eye candy
Touched by intensity
Wrapped in enigma
Spiked with electricity
Dipped in nostalgia
Laced in lingerie
fucked for love
Such a pity

art of living
soldier on
sick of life
can't go on
game of death
play on
weapon of choice
bring it on
pool of blood
end of on

Face off

2007-07-01T19:36:00.000-07:00

barbs of praise
lies of kindness
screens of smiles
traps of promotion
stabs of stroking
trojans of empathy
confines of space
illusions of agreement
thefts of generosity

2007-06-27T19:50:00.000-07:00

when people ask me why
i stay away from them
here's what i tell people.
contrary to what it seems
i love people so much that
i feel compelled to stay away.
because experience has
taught me that what you
love the most is what is most
likely to hurt you. the most.
confused, they stay away.
and so do i. confused.
hopeful. and waiting.

when president hopeful
pratibha patil speaks of
communicating with the dead
and other such revelations
of profound embarrassment
it makes me wonder whether
the people of india should have
a greater say in the matter of who
should be the president of india.
and then, i think of the people
that were elected by the people.

Tossed ballad

2007-06-24T23:22:00.000-07:00

troubled, i trudge home
determined to get
a good night's sleep.

troubled, i toss and turn
indeterminate, fretting
over the things i thought
needed a good night's sleep.

troubled, i awake
to see what's left
of a good night's sleep.

troubled, i toss and turn
eating into the little left
of what was meant to be
a good night's sleep.

nihility
is what my life
is filled with. verily.
she said, for effect.
it worked like a charm.
the boys came to fill her
from london, france and
even far-flung surinam.
fortunately for her,
they had their sights
set on not much more
than tits and arse.
here's to the comfort
of low-fat nihility.
she said. verily.

the great thing about
falling behind in the rat race
is that you get a fine view
of everybody's bottom.

the bad thing about
falling behind in the rat race
is that you will take shit
from a bunch of farts.

the inbetween thing about
falling behind in the rat race
is that you are cannon fodder
for the people around you.

the nothing about
falling into the rat race
is the meaning of life.

World piece

2007-06-20T19:58:00.000-07:00

in a world full of answers
i chase questions.

in a world full of pieces
i seek the big picture.

in a world full of counters
i make up the numbers.

in a world full of sameness
i follow the antonym.

in a world full of talkers
i look for a doer.

in a world full of warriors
i shield the loser.

in a world full of money
i see a lack of balance.

in a world full of writers
i am but a foot soldier.

in a world full of people
i don't find myself.

on her shapely self
rested a good head
with enough inside
to know that often
all it takes to get
ahead is good head.
and so she went
down on her knees
shut her mouth
swallowed his pride
and bit the bullet.
He screamed in pain.

i looked at myself
trying to imagine
what she might see.
blind to my faults
i didn't see what
had become of me.
neither did she.
unfortunately.

Intel inside. Apple outside.

he looked at her.
she was gorgeous.
he wondered whether
he should tell her
how good she looked.
she was intelligent.
he decided to tell her
how well she wrote.
he wasn't stupid.

Close to the heart

2007-06-17T19:15:00.001-07:00

so i told her
that i loved her.
she said, 'really?'
i looked at them
great, big melons
under her shirt
on her chest
in my face
and said to miself
nah, not really.
so i told her
that i loved her.

why is it so hard to start?
because once you start something
you've got to end it
and once you've got to end it
you've got to realise
when enough is enough.
like now.

In shor

2007-06-16T19:21:00.000-07:00

So then
i decided to keep it
shor.
because, sometimes
oftentimes
perhapstimes
it doesn't have to be
poetry to be poetic.
it can simply be clever
and shor.

feted by the paparazzi
now part of the glitterati
renounced by the was
success without a pause
fuelled by many a muse
making the daily news
living the beautiful illusion
cradled in glorious pretention
rising above abject failure
in a manner woe cavalier
ignoring the signs of reality
creeping up on thy sleeping entity
hark. look. sunshine. it's time
wakey, my deah. rise and whine.

Dylan Thomas said
a poem is a form
of epiphany
umm...

hello...
it just dawned on me
that he didn't say that

does that make this

Past imperfect

how much can one dream
without doing
how much can one do
without having the means to
how much can one care
when it hurts to

whenever i read about mavericks
i can't help but feel a sense of deja vu
and think of the times
when i've been there
and there
and there
but never done that
or that
or that
or many of the things
i've always wanted to

God knows, i've tried to

Devaluation

2007-06-06T19:48:00.000-07:00

Smilingly, i grasp the envelope
knowing fully well what it contains

it's my paycheck
after my appraisals
everything went well
i was rewarded handsomely
the long wait was worth it
i am preparing to celebrate

i have opened the envelope
I read the letter inside
I am in a state of shock
it's not what was promised

it can't be
it's a mistake
it's somebody else's letter
mistakenly handed to me

my handsome reward
doesn't look so good
it feels like a joke
and i'm not laughing

this other person
is being paid more
much more than me

at times i wonder
whether you wish
i'm like other guys.
and that's when
i want to tell you
i'm, unfortunately,
not like other guys.
fortunately.
it's why i'll never
take you for a ride.
or a fool. it's what
other guys do.
meanwhile, i think
my lucky stars for
being with a girl
who's not like other
girls. yours, mushy lee.

think of a plan
pull up a chair
sit yourself down
dig a deep hole
dive right in
line with words
consider an end
find the means
take it in steps
little by little
that's how you
come up with
a quick shoem.
enjoy responsibly.
now go practice.

Mind's I

2006-10-21T21:49:00.000-07:00

i thought it was about drugs
i thought it was about agents
i thought it was about looks
i thought it was about contacts
i thought it was about nationality
i thought it was about breaks
i thought it was about time
i thought it was about peace
i thought it was about inspiration
i thought it was about the market
i thought it was about timing
i thought it was about different
i thought it was about everything
except the one thing i think
it is about: writing. i think.

first, i was shocked.
was it really you?
then, i checked
i was relieved.
it wasn't you.
until i realised
it was really you.
i congratulated you.
all the while thinking
why wasn't it me?

in and out of the

how they're doing
without waiting
to hear how they
might be doing,
i want to stick
my leg out, trip you
and then ask you
hey, how you doin?
without waiting to
hear how you doin

Sweet Lee

2006-10-12T20:56:00.000-07:00

when people ask me
if i care for any of the
things life has to offer
my mouth spews vitriol
and i spit out viciously
abuse is what i peddle
care i don't for anybody
work, a bloody crapshoot
all hearts laced with bitter
memories best forgotten
the future, a dark hole.
then, with an ugly scowl
i proceed to longingly
indulge my sweet tooth

The road this travelled

2006-10-12T20:31:00.000-07:00

i'd been waiting for this
this is just what i need
life will begin after this
this will be the end of it
it's time now to open this
hmm, so this is what it is
i knew this was coming
this, i'll learn to live with
just another rejection, this
this is not the end of this
guess this is a writer's lot
what a way, this, to live
i'd been waiting for this

Yesterday

failure, shouting, silences
fight, hurt, argue, betray
breakdown, exploitation
emptiness, bullshit, stop
start, stop, start, stop, barf
suspect, somebody, nobody
ignorance, pain, feign, rain
moan, groan, atone, alone
chain, deign, wane, no gain
fuck you, fuck off, fuck up
fuck me, fuck all, fuck it.
guess all i want to say is
why fall in love if you can't
forget what love was about?
to forget what love was all about.

Write to repeat

2006-09-23T00:11:00.000-07:00

sometimes i write for sorrow
sometimes i write for the morrow
sometimes i write in pain
sometimes i write to stay sane
sometimes i write in desperation
sometimes i write for inspiration
sometimes i write in agitation
sometimes i write to meditate
sometimes i write to isolate
sometimes i write to get lost
sometimes i write to get cross
sometimes i write to be found
sometimes i write but no sound
sometimes i write to be heard
sometimes i write like a turd
sometimes i write to be fooled
sometimes i write to be unspooled
sometimes i write to be silenced
sometimes i write on an island
sometimes i write to hide
sometimes i write to feel pride
sometimes i write out of my skin
sometimes i write to prop up my chin
sometimes i write for money
sometimes i write for honey
sometimes i write to see funny
sometimes i write for himself
some day i will write for myself

if i didn't have a job
i'd have no friends
no future, no dreams

it's why i have no friends
no dreams, no future
no tomorrow, no today
and no job. i only have
something i one day won't.

perhaps a tad esoteric
an ornamental beauty
singular if you care
a thingmajig with flair
riverine in it's flow
pithy for less is more
broken sans pretense
seminal but not dense
original like a first kiss
rare as a golden heart
less rhyme, no reason
a shoem for any season
tis' just an itsy word trick

For Little Miss Toughet

2006-09-11T19:21:00.000-07:00

far, far away from a place called doggerel
in the little known kigdom of Poentry
lies the well hidden town of sloggerel
not a stopover for all and sundry

the rough path to this dense neck of the woods
is littered with shattered egos and hearts
cast aside for being inferior goods
futile pursuits composed by pompous farts

and then there came along a big spider
weaving a tortured web of love's labour
he shyly sidled up close beside her
with words in verse he hoped she would savour

leave me alone she cried before leaving
leaving him red, crestfallen and grieving

2006-09-09T19:46:00.000-07:00

you cannot do it like a long singsong
it cannot be two very very long
it cannot be without reason or rhyme
it can't be shot off in double quick time
it's better not to be too cynical
it better not be anything typical
it should not be terrible and boring
it should not leave people loudly snoring
it is best not to skip the little twist
it better not be like this he hissed
when you try to do it in one long line
it will just sound so very asinine
and if this is getting monotonous
i'll stop it and leave thou with the onus

Connet

2006-09-09T04:09:00.000-07:00

a sonnet cannot be written freely
because you must stick to the rules clearly
matters not what you say in which meter
just be sure it is in pentameter
slow down check and see if it is in rhyme
if in some doubt slip in a word of mime
in the middle, approach very slowly
now what is left is the volta only
not bad, so what if it kind of so sucks
so far so much is a sign of big nuts
keep on going, don't give up the jig fight
race to conclude this thing so trite
time now to kill the bee in my bonnet
and put an end to this bloody connet

when people say
stever irwin died
happily, i wonder
the only way you
can die happily
is if you die when
you're happy, but
when you are happy
you don't want to die

Internal affair

2006-09-03T19:04:00.000-07:00

sometimes i wonder
what if looks weren't
superficial and what
if the person inside
shone through and
showed on the outside
wouldn't this world be
an ugly face? thank God
for looks. God knows
we can't stand reality

after thinking for a long
long time about rosebud
i thought for a little more
time until ended up feeling
rather unwell and told myself
why delve into a mind which
can only be likened to a
bottomless welles'

don't kill yourself
worrying about
fretting about
thinking about
moping about
scowling about
in a roundabout
people who are
out to get you
it will kill you

True love

2006-09-02T03:17:00.000-07:00

liars only love
themselves

Small talk

Only human

2006-09-01T21:06:00.000-07:00

never trust anyone
who tells you technology
can be trusted to make
this world a better place
and i'm not saying this
because you can't trust
technology but because
you can't trust humanity

to be with anyone

making the mistake
of being with anyone

Let sleeping dogs lie

2006-09-01T20:07:00.000-07:00

if you have to
lie to someone
to be with someone
what it truly means
is you don't have to
be with someone you
feel the need to lie to

Cry freedom

don't waste
your tears

see it. you will

Bombay Talkies

it's impossible
it's living
it's dying
it's a potluck
it's more
it's more of the same
it's one big sore
it's a celebration
it's embarrassing
it's rich
it's starving
it's movies
it's a movie
it's a dream
it's reality
it's obnoxious
it's welcoming
it's a choice
it's a compulsion
it's a contradiction
it's a cliche
it's Bombay
it's Mumbai
it's forgettable
it's unforgettable
it's indescribable
it's incomplete
forget it. you can't

Bugaboo

2006-09-01T00:34:00.000-07:00

what's bugging you

i won't be able to tell
what's bugging you
i always tell you
what's bugging me
even if it bugs you

think about it

Trigger happy

2006-08-31T23:31:00.000-07:00

if you're happy
despite the state
of the world
we live in
you deserve
to be unhappy
how can you
be happy when
so many people
are unhappy
which begs
the question
how can you
be unhappy
when so many
people aren't
happy?

it takes pride
to be proud
of what you are
to revel in
what you are
and not care for
what people
think you are
you have to be
full of yourself
to let go of
yourself and
let yourself go

Writing

is it better
not to have
the guts
to do anything
than have the guts
to do something?
when you have
the guts to do
something
you might
do something
and we all know
how much harm
doing anything
can end up doing

Senseless

the tragedy
of being so sensitive
is that the only way
to protect oneself
from being hurt
is to be fucking
cold, heartless
and insensitive

hue and cry
about it?
