She, of many fires

The many fires that burn the heart,
 Revel in the agony and screams of
Buried desire, your soul cigarette ash,
And all that matters is a man who carried
Luck in a black suitcase full of rings made of trash


The burnt salt over my palms exposing lines
Of fate that I had forgot, Love faded like a
Ragged lion cloth once dyed in indigo
And desire slipping through the folds of
Creased anger dragged over the plains of pure agony


Separation puts planets between us,
Neptune and the sadly named Venus,
Each inch a fucking mile, each moment
A rusted nail, digging deeper and deeper in
The burrow of my face. A smile held together
By plastered guilt


Deadly madness takes control and ramblings
In sleep become a divine scroll,
All burnt, all razed, all rubbed clean
Expect for that part of me which is

She, of many fires

That one day, we will meet again, in some other life, in some other time, where we won’t have to say   G oodbye.

In Barely Discernible Darkness

I will trace the Jhelum Across Your back with my fingers In barely discernible darkness It will form a paisley Drawn from the memory of An imagined Kashmir No language spoken by Man or Gods shall be Uttered that night Words will be melded, Sentences molded to form A new language of love The ink, a fine powdered Amethyst, shall dry as We write its grammar The quill tips, fashioned From old bones, shall Burn in its blaze The room will be Full of scorch marks In barely discernible darkness -- Tz

Indigo Halls of Imagined Gods

In the indigo halls of Imagined Gods of Love, Lovers leave half burnt letters of incense and trails of broken hearts - Among ruins of shattered Love knots, she sits alone Weaving a rosary out of Thin air With longing as its thread and Beads made out of tears -- In the Indigo halls of Imagined gods of Love, The walls conspire and whisper Into her ears Telling tales of unfaithful loves And unrequited desires -- The rags of threads once Tied at the Astans of Hamdan, Lie at her feet, as she sits alone Knitting desolation from the whispers To sacrifice at the altars of the imagined Gods of love
