The fabric of hope
Is stitched together with
A needle that doesn't poke!

-

Taking refugee
in the fabrics
of whispers,
The strings
couldn't hold
the pain of
silence every
stitch caused.

-

Firmly tied to your memories
are the knots of my desire,
for they don't recognize
your exit from the fabric
we stitched together.

Releasing these knots
will scatter the threads
that bind our darned souls
into a confetti of unrequitedness.

-

In the torn fabric of my love,
She was the only stitch.

-

Peeping through your fabric
Beyond these Woeful
Chains and belts
My skin enchanted with
The burl !!!
My fingers felt.

-

My fabric can't resist y'ur presence
To the proof I'll try your patience,

Play and let play, slip and let slip,
Dress and let dress, strip and let strip.

-

I wish I could rest my head on your shoulders again
Kiss your cheeks again
And laugh with my heart out
We had woven the fabric between our souls
But the tiny droplets of sham proliferated
Like acid
across the fabric
'we' (or is it I ?) had woven
There was a single thread still holding us
Just like the hope I had for us
Untill I took the blade and cut it myself.

-

I stitched that beautiful fabric,
Out of those pieces of my solitude.
That's the reason you see,
Poems trickling down my skin.
