A homo sapien from a faraway land
Strands like the Amazon
The warmth of flushed cheeks
Twinkling bodies spread across the vast night sky
Had seen many skies
A bold reaction to the wrong imprisonment
Tightening of pants
Slithering like a snake
It's movement helps me talk and makes you scream
Tasted like the freshly opened bottle of Old Monk
Your absence feels like stapling of my flesh
You were the home for this wandering soul
A joker's grin for life
Worshipping the guillotined head
An often questioned omnipresent figure
A chain reaction on the Ghat road
Tuber that makes the modern day Seetama cross the Rekha
Wailing, screaming, scratching, biting
Mirror or lover's photo in the hand of a living soul.
