Now you're dead and gone.

Love bites "It would be easy Berry picking like, I know you think. To own me, With you flair, The same effortlessness With which you once  Disowned me. For all such times When I sizzles in your arms Red Chilli on hot mustard oil, I gave you flavourful, Burning myself down. You separated the torment,  Knowing it's destiny, Down in the bin.  But here it rises, Does that hurt you? The burning red wound? Not yet? Good. It decided to let you go, No, not because it cannot,  I cannot. But I know,  It's not worth.  Your pain. You are a destitute, A lonely tree, In your palatial backyard. You could not house My blooming births. And on an other day,  When your are disowned Someone else, I wish her the strength  Of dries chillies,  And buried flowers, To burn you down." -Kuntala Sengupta  Kuntala sengupta ia involved in  Writing Services, Learning & Teaching.

Wandering over my mind.

Crafty "Profane, irreverent,  You don't care  You take a bus Without the fare Upend my world  Send up a flare And in the end It's seems unfair With every sunset You trespass Drifting through  The island pass I lack the will,  I act so crass I chase you down,  Betray my class.

Old Letters

The Letter "Who knew my address   To write me a letter? The envelope and a small  Piece of paper inside.  No date...no name Only six lines of vagabonds  And loneliness.  Or was it about a journey  And about me? Who will write to me About vagabonds but her, Who will write to me About journeys but her, Who will write to me  About loneliness?  She is my other woman... Writing about her love for me? Or, Or is it her final goodbye...?" -Pankaj Sekhsaria  Pankaj Sekhsaria is Associate Professor at the Centre for Technology Alternatives for Rural Areas (C-TARA), IIT Bombay.

Can you hear them?

"If you come as softly  As the wind within the trees  You may hear what I hear   See what sorrow sees" - Audre   Lorde "Audre Lorde was an American writer, feminist, womanist, librarian, and civil rights activist. She was a self-described "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet," who "dedicated both her life and her creative talent to confronting and addressing injustices of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia."-  Wikipedia Audre uses allusion, imagery and figurative language to create a calm and peaceful scene. She addresses the listener who will come to her and to whom she will speak to lightly and silently. It suggests how communication with the person is not an easy task.  Comment down below your thoughts about the poem.  The comment section is a free platform for you to put down you interpreted thoughts.
