(Father died a fortnight ago)

Like a double edged sword
it cut me.
Nostalgia and nightmare
shaking hands.
Tears closeted in time
and
smile defrosted in memory.

Scraping through the pages
I relived life
with Bismillah playing
in the background.

Bipolar

unclear protocols
undecided issues
unending feuds

Let us fight
until hegemony reigns.
Let us quarrel
until the world ends.
Until logic proves itself
to be logical.

Me and the me within
have issues
to solve.

Inamorato

She said “be a
mountain by my side,
I will surely
drench you
with rain”

I rose up, to find
i was
in a dream.
