DRIED LEAF

today i was busy with my friends at lunch hrs
my defence canteen cum mess was tuned to an old melody:
it meant something like this
" i've sent you my love
dried flowers in a book
but it's more live to what you can visualize
it speaks of my heart
the depth of which: you may ignore to visualize"

-my friends know that i simply hate old songs

-but this time
the diff fetched their surprize

-i simply rebuffed
you see
change is the nerve centre of Nature

-they smiled with a disbelief and disgust
but i knew: a lot was yet to be said:
probably my heart takes light years to come off

-i often wonder
if love is that beautiful
or that magnetic

-i know
its bubbles
like at a long and slow rainy day

-but my heart gets provoked at unsavoury remarks of my brain
it just said: fools never realize that they are indeed fool

CONFLICT

CONFLICT surrounds me
-where i go
it catches fast

-i hardly accept
the religious recluse
it evokes more smoke
i'm used to a clear sky
may be too scorching
the soul gets burnt up
and the brain
looks for a solution
howsoever ephemeral
-it may be

-day and night
i aspire for my love

-she a too unpredictable
but with a bounty of elixir
put off
the hell of fire
within me
around me

-she came one day with a tight schedule
time and space was her priority

-i went to my bot gardens
showed her beautiful ROUWOLFIAS

-i was yet to explain a lot
she said:hell with your sciences
say something romantic

-i paused for a moment
and explained
their love is too tender
like you
like your time
she got a bit interested
and i explained if a red light beam interrupts their sleep
you can't see the crimson red flowers
so scintillating to make your beauty look pale

-she got more inquisitive
and me too docile to explain

-i went to a friend's house alongwith her
inspite of our booked time
she couldn't turn up
i waited for whole
and my beauty love was too patient to accopany

-in the eve hrs
she came out of her house
but left without acknowledging our long wait

-i looked deep
as she boarded the bike of her friend
and went with a second
away from our visible range

-my beauty love pulled me up
why you made me to wait for infinite

-i replied
you have to be explained
a bit of Rouwolfias and why they don't flower

-she was sad at my docile nerves
but asked who she was?

-i replied in low refrain
she is navu
who runs the roost of my nerves

-But why? she was restless this time

-i hesitated to say

-she spent her very special moments
with me, along me, around me

-and

-i've still to get out of my addiction
