PAST

First of all, I would like to say sorry to those of you who were waiting for the next part of The Captive of True Love. I am still working it. Anyway, yesterday, Anshika sent me her new poem and I wrote something in response and accidentally we did a new collaboration, here it is. […]

Stillness in Turmoil

While everything around me whirls and storms, I remain grounded. In the middle of all the turmoil Of all the intense energies and emotions, When it’s all just so dark, I cannot see anything, cannot touch or hear. I think about you, My heart feels your love. And I get clarity. With no pause between […]

Nationalistic Rite

I suffer from the conflagration in my mind, Should I stay on the side of dissent? Or should I dive in the stream of the contemporary nationalistic rite? I worry that someday the reflections of my youth may pass me by, Like traces on the car window, Driving at 120 on the freeway, Haunting me, […]

Words

Dying embers. Wild flames. Twenty-six letters. A thousand names. Scratches on paper. Slender frames. Young words. Ancient games Wither and fade, Into an insipid blur. But with some Rhyme, Alliteration, Assonance, And consonance, Forming a battalion of lines And stanzas, Winning hearts, And breaking too. Leaves their mark. Forever. – Mahesh Mali.

तिच्या आठवणींचा अवकाळी पाऊस

आज अवकाळी पाऊस आला… आणि तिच्या आठवणींचे ढग माझ्या मनी दाटू लागले ! वाटत होतं इतके दिवस की तीच्या आठवणींना खूप मागे सोडून दिलंय मी, पण आज तिच्याच स्मृतींमध्ये हरवून टाकत होता मला तो मातीचा सुगंध, आणि तो गार गार वारा. मला परत परत आठवत होता तो आमचा पाऊसातला बंधुंद नाच, ती अविस्मरणीय रात्र आणि […]

Story of a lovesick fool

Lately, I found that I could not write about her, It’s not that there are no feelings to describe, It’s not even a problem of having second thoughts about those feelings. The problem is that no matter how much I have delved into my brain or how much effort I put into finding a way […]

Me. She. Us. Amazing.

Naked for my eyes, Yearning can’t disguise, Crimsoned with desire, Her skin did perspire. I pulled her to me, kissing does ensue, Breasts crushed against my chest, Hands on buttocks pressed, Her eyes closed as if savoring the heat of my breath on her neck. Her hands stretched casually towards me, searching for arousal, Maybe […]

Ineffable Friendship

It is an ineffable bond, It is passion past recognition, Caring from the depth of the soul, This is a connection so strong, So strong that it can hurt sometimes. Yet, It is so wonderful, Too intense to be pen down or capture, Amazing, astonishing feelings, Confusing feelings, Perplexed feelings, So very many feelings. Oh, […]

Heart or Mind ?

Today I’m going to share something that I had kept concealed down in my memory lane, Something is hidden in a secret folder, Where I keep all the evocative memories of her, Memories of her ardent love, Memories of “us” which now cause nothing but overwhelming surges of pain. Yeah, she left me. She left […]

I am hers and she is mine

I came out of the bathroom, beads of water were still running down on my bare body as I tried to wipe them out. My partner’s abed—busy with her phone. She raised her head at the sight of me half-naked. She looked at me in the eye with so much longing, love, and fascination, her […]
