I’m a slow poison
you drink every night
just to have a tight sleep
with birds falling off the edges
leaves scratching its spine to quote
some of the thoughts every parasite gives
before it obeys its mother to nibble the greenery!
I’m one drunkard
who talks economics
with a smoke after sex
your hair blackening my chest
lips speaking of the dying albatross
we drape each other in page and bedsheet
script in both have a world of beggars and children!
I’m an immigrant
my home has songs
of Fakirs, birds bring them
to my door, she receives them
and sings for me without borders,
dry fishes rock my plate with hot kebabs
I see her draped in red saree, the home gets too sexy!
I’m a black mass
born of fossils, guns
drawn on my hat, my jeans
have the shade of your inners,
we hunt down the remix albums
and resist the dildos to become scrap
the libido of everyone has a story to be sad and hot!
I’m an intolerable
dog, I pray with sweat
making a river on my belly,
inertia of a war and a wild bed
sculpts an almighty crazy enough
he drinks with bitches and eases life
my lips turn purple as I take his name in nights!
I’m a born creep
unaccustomed to life
I go to places to dig graves
writing Nirvana over Swastikas
the churches have a list of my sins
she sizzles me with a kiss, and sketches
an oasis on my back, a hope just reaches its puberty!
I too menstruate
strangely I don’t feel
just when I hear a sound
burning my brain, I do get wet
tiny souls in me burst like bombs
and they bleed, my sheets don’t get red
or I don’t have a line, just there’s blood tiring out!
I’m a man to her
I’m a woman to many
in nights I wet her pants
both by tears and sad songs,
scratches form tattoos, I watch
as the night paddles down our cozy bed,
the colors of my heart are both in white and wild red!
