the other day i was
binge watching
alternate realities

until i found one blue enough
to be comfortably painful

folded it into the safety net
of a simile and resigned to
timelessness

an ostensible
permanence

in an unguarded
horizon #

/Poem in Caption/

-

Intertwine your fingers in mine
Every time before
We leave for our places.

Those are few knots
I don't want to get loose of.

-

When
she read his words,
she started unraveling
his threads
and getting entangled
in those knots
at the same time.

Maybe
that's what love is.

Or is it?

The Knots
(Poem in Caption)

-

Today when I looked
above and saw the sky
tied in different knots
in different shapes,

I remembered about
the knots I have tied
in saree of my mumma
unknowingly,
when fear made its way.

-

The warmth of your breath
will blow away my every glitch.

-

Wide eyed, she sat in the Emergency Waiting Room.

Slightly relieved, she realized how bad her son was with knots.

She still tied his shoe laces.

-

every time I tried walking away,

I found myself in strings

with the unbreakable knots

you stitched me in.

-

His first name
Her last name
Begins with soul not with knots.....

-

I build my space
in between the knots
you tied around me.

I loosen a knot and your world
comes gushing in.
I tighten a knot and my world
crumbles me in.
