A forgotten territory.

-

This time that my heart broke,
I accidentally dropped in
a seed of hope
before taping it back.

I fear that one day,
you'll grow out of the seed
ripping my heart again,
then clutching it with your tendrils
at the same time.

Painful are the side effects
of my rose bush love.

-

My heart

The territory of only your memory

-

Expecting and caring too much
will lead you to the
painful territory.

-

Army
of words
annexed the territory
of my
thoughts.

-

May be
it's an innate element of humanity,
to seek the differences
and fight over them relentlessly

Decades pass by
and we are still there
clenching our fists to
a newly discovered enemy

May be
melancholy doesn't seek us
May be it's us who make the ways
to its territory

-

It's going to keep bleeding,
with the marked territory.
Before you could feel
numbness get out of it swiftly.
"Its time for you to heal"...

-

I Am The King Of This Territory
Stay Away from Me Otherwise I Will Kill You

-

Once you are in my territory,
I won't let you go babie;
No matter, how hard you try...

-

Maybe,

I will serve myself on the platter as breakfast, lunch and dinner, sing Frank Sitara songs, hide love
notes in pockets, passport, shaving kit,window sills. Handwritten.
Deliver gifts on your birthday
from every corner of the globe.
Welcome you with candlelight dinner,served naked.
Fly you off to faraway island. Change my name, my
country, my religion,become an atheist for you.
Carve your name in nook and corner to help you claim your territory. Marked by love,promises never made,vouches never uttered. Make a home for you in my DNA.

Maybe.
