Teen Lovers in the Rain

 

NZ, we didn’t ever get the chance to dance in rain, right?!

Whereas, we always used to say what we would do when sky poured heavy rain,

When the silver lining of the clouds would scream to us, 

When the prisms of rainbow would scatter.

Then, you would hold my hands, 

Take me to the pavilion, 

Hold me from the back and watch rainfall.

Rain drops dripping all over our body from head to toe, 

Rain drops touching our eyelashes, lips, cheeks,

And, us?!

You know what we would do! 

But, now rainfall occurs in monsoon,

Aprils aren’t the same anymore. 

Hey, do you enjoy the rainfall same as I do?!

When thunder flickers and raindrops touch your feet,

And, the sudden breeze takes over control,

Do you think of me?!

I was the storm in your daily routine. 

I was the sudden disruption always retreating, never forthcoming. 

Hey, my toes are tingling. 

Once they were used to tickling. 

Hey, my lips keep pronouncing your name.

They are tired. 

They were thirsty. 

So, heavens placed rainfall to drench me. 

The clouds cry as I do, 

The sky screams in agony of ruptures like me, 

I am fractured as the skyline, 

Broken into pieces, 

Take me back to the peaceful days! 

Peach pale skin, 

Auburn red lips, 

Black eyebrows jointed, 

Thick eyelashes, 

Spects on your face, 

A smile that you would wear,

All these drives me crazy, 

The doves resting on my chest tend to fly in speed. 

Skyblue shall be your attire. 

Because, you are an albatross flying high. 

Skyblue shall be your color, 

Because, rainfall remembers you. 

Clouds shall sing a merry song for you,

Because you belong to the altitude. 

Raindrops mesmerizes your view, 

Because every leafs on the chestnut tree wants to fall upon you. 

Every creature on the earth wants to feel your warmth, hug you. 

NZ, you are a kind soul, 

Every route wants to take me to you! 

Whoever has ever wanted you in folly, knows how hard it is to forget you! 

Whoever has ever wanted to erase you, knows how suffocating it is to replace you!

Whoever has ever loved you knows how heavy the heart feels without you!

Ache in my body

Image
  My lips ache as if they want to be bitten  and smitten in your love and admiration. My hips swirl in ache as if they want to twirl  around you, dance in motion. My heart is in ache as if it doesn't know where   it belongs, to whom, My eyes are in pain, they are numb and sore. They say your eyes are beautiful like droplets of dews, Like diamonds in the sky. But, only a few knows how much tears it shed, Shed like an ocean. I have cried in pain like a destitute losing all her belongings, I have cried in pain like a beggar begging for an alms of love and warmth. I have cried like a Jew, a refugee Muslim for a bit of shelter in a foreign land, I have cried like a blind person for a bit of compassion and an ounce of aid. I have cried and whimpered in pain like an impaired person for quick recovery, I have cried like an infant hungry for love and needing to cling to somebody. I have cried an ocean for my lost ones whom I loved dearly, I have cried in agony, realizing...

Cyber Colonialism

  We are now trapped in the waves of 'Cyber-Colonialism',  The watchdogs are watching us,  We are under the 'Juju' of the 'Reikies' consuming us,  Yes, indeed, we are also consuming what they are feeding us,  The unseen wires have draped us, We can't utter a word against them,  We are monitored,  We can't spread  dictation as the dictators are dictating us- through cyber binoculars,  Where they can prevent any portrayals different from them,  Where they pick their secret 'bot armies' and influencers handing over fame,  Only for them to be the handlers of the fate, Fate of mass people,  People who will believe what they say,  People who will do what they inspire them to do -whatever they have conspired in the closed doors, People will rise, People will die, People will loose hope, People will flee, People will gather,  People will be displaced, People will be lost, People will be punished for speaking their truth!...
