One Afternoon...

All day mumble,
Thoughts in a jumble,
A loser's gamble,
I take a tumble,
And in free-fall mode
Rusty fan and hallucinations...


You paint me,
In bare necessities,
I pose, you devour me,
Helpless, innocent,oh-so-dolled up,
Of feeling and Saving,
And Groping and Raping,
I still pose, on the dusty divan,
With over-sized goggles and burnt-out fags,
My body full of your invisible tags,
Ooh a Dali, or a Warhol in person...
Rigid, frigid, of bottled-away passion,
Your attempts foiled,
The sheet's soiled,
I'm yesterday's Muse,
With only a stale excuse...


Run Erendira Run,
Run Lola Run,
And after all of you are done,
I'll still be waiting for my turn,
And in the lies you told
Peeling walls and Auburn wigs...


In the balcony,
The afternoon sky so red,
The leaves so still,
Parched,wanting to heal...
A nip on my neck, pressure on my thighs,
You wanna make love, I can see it in your eyes...
Your necessity, and I'm bare
Stop...the neighbors do stare..
Broken blinds, and furtive glances,
An occasional cackle...Stop...
Oh shame and voyeurs...
Stop!


Bitch, this is the way to be,
This shows we are free,
This is so Warholesque, so rebellious, don't you see?
This tells and sells, Oh yes, I can see...
Dying a thousand deaths,
In your grunts and breaths,
Of my long-lost youth,
In your half-baked truth,
Grope, saliva and senseless drivel...
And you continue to stifle...
Love, Love, Love,
Take me high above,
A flash of lightning, one hard push,
Over the edge, one last cry, Hush!
It's so red beneath me, on the streets,
It's such a red sky too...
And the rain begins,
Washing away every last trace,
Of you...
And I'm one again...

  1. this may quite be your best till date.. a classic story line.. a smart intro.. wonderful associations..i loved the way in which you included the cosmetic ones and left the relevant ones unsaid, but rather experienced, and indulged.. and ofcrs, truly remarkable words..
    your narrative poetry has a distinct signature to it..dont change it, no matter what..it reflects your personality - a person who alwys maintains the rhythm.. so, for obvious reasons, your poem's layout stays in memory..from start to end..and leaves a deep impression..this was no different..
    i love the feel of the poem.. it almost feels like the main story, the excerpt of which is 'showcase brothel' ..if u rmbr dat poem..
    loved it, keep it comin .. :)

  2. WOW!Danke Schon 4 dat extremely sincere comment...my smile kept on getn wider n wider like the Cheshire Cat!!!! ;)
    yep, of course I remember Showcase Brothel..among all the Replykas,that is particularly close to my heart...and I can very well understand where u r bringing in the association...
    This poem is pretty special to me,since this is quite unlike the emo or lovey ones that usually come to my head...itz the difference in theme and rhythm that made me compose the whole story-poem, from a single scene that seemed painted in my head..it ws almost like cinema in slo-mo...and somewhere of course it underlines the eternal illusion...that comes with Love...the artist and the Muse..and their inexplicable relation...and what happens when the bubble bursts and the painted doll suddenly comes alive,into her own...
    Thanx once again for appreciating,understanding n most importantly,feeling with me.. :)
