The Liability

I breathe, I sacrifice,
I see, I die;
I live a life full of moderations
I wish to die uncompromised.

Isn't the lack of wings enough?
Or the lack of divinity fill our fill?
Why then do we need to prove our mortality
Through compromises and through sin?

My mother says, she says it all.
Silences are powerful, "Don't burst into giggles!!"
Oh! How did my days of games
Got washed away in a bath of blood!

Is it me? Or is it her?
Who dwells in me,
Surrounds and suffocates me,
I gasp for breath endlessly.

Not to worry, I'll soon realise,
One day, I promise I'll learn by heart
That I'm Me, me is She, she is Her,
And Her is me.

Notes from Law School

Life in full bloom
Flowing with a pleasant force.
Just lay your ears against the floor,
You hear it whirring past.

Oh! How cruel can man be?
Talking of life no longer to see?
Sans emotions, sans feel
On a platter we deliver relief.

Eye of the storm I am,
Calm, cool and composed.
The world is flying around
hapless, helpless, powerless...

And I sit here on my horse
High up high I seat,
Calmly I take a bow
To the life's mysteries!

The class is in session,
The speaker at the podium
Thrice notes written
Speech for the n-th time
Twice not heard per second
Six minus seventeen times heard and swallowed

The words float around,
Aimless, into the open
Confined by four walls and floor and ceiling
Outlets of windows and doors, a relief!
Arjun lost in sights unseen inside,
Eklavya prying through the keyhole.

Bloodhsed

The door wants blood.
Its blood that provides proof of want
and the green wine intoxicates the bloodless!
The rush is not heard inside, just grumbles;
The grumbles never come to strain to hear outside.
