The Guitar in Unison....

It was one evening like other evenings that I was having a cigarette sitting on a step,
I was looking at the workaholic men,at the neon-bathed city streets.The traffic lights were going red in a fine rythm.There were endless cars,eardrum torturing noises,voises.One or two vagabonds,crackheads were doing some caricatures of their own.
I saw a man carrying a suitcase with him ordered for a tea from the tea-seller in front of me.Suddenly two skeleton structures came out of the dark.They grabbed the gentleman's costly pant with their rough,coal-black hands.They gestured for something.I think it was for Money.They could not speak because they have been starving and they didn't have the energy.Quite strangely the man didn't pay heed to those half-dead,empty-stomach children.I thought he'd plenty and could throw some.But he didn't.He had his tea,shrugged his legs and walked away beleagueredly.Strange.The two 'creatures' disappeared into the darkness.
I took a lungful of smoke and as I turned,I saw two contemporary rock stars shouting at a cab driver and at a little distant a man  dealing with a street hooker.All for Money I guees.
I heard a screeching of tires,I saw an old man lying on the road bleeding.A suave man wearing silk suits was inside the comfortable sedan,threw a good amount of money on his blood-shede face and headed away.Ofcourse,there were gatherings but no one did wash the blood of the old man's face.

An hour did past before I could even realize.What a mess!!Its a big money-spinner going on.Make your deal now.
I'd have another cigarette.

A sheer joy when I opened the trapdoor in silence,in concealed footsteps. What I saw was a Sunset in a new dimension. A broader sky.A canvas painted by some anonymous. Marvellous. I could not peep through the concrete wall though. I was little. Words insinuated 'cause they forbade me. A 'juvenile delinquent' in their eyes. They scared me of Monsters.But they didn't appear before me. I believe they lied or the Monsters did let me go. I can climb up to the highest part of the roof now. I can feel the whisperings of the wind. Conjuration of the clouds.Nodding tree branches. They say this is a waste of time. But I feel myself cogent. If I was given to fly,I promise,I would get home at dusk with the quarrelling flock of Gulls. And walk on the roads as directed.

The House inferno.....

Run.Fire.Alarm. Save yourself. Look for the inmates. Save the paintings and the bunch of roses from the hungry flame. The memories captured in frames been charred. Tears has gone dry 'cause of the heat. The thick Holy book no longer exists. Ashes causing coughs. Hold your breath.Run. The bird,was locked in the cage has died. The baby is burnt.The black smoke is rolling up and clasping The House like a serpent. The garden is engulfed into the fire. The wooden cradle have lost its veneer.Still in swing. No sign of pulse.Only the violent breeze and flame. Sensing the damnation. The House is burning. Crumbling down slowly.So the Earth. We never made it,have we? Is it on fire because of Us?

Just a Litt'i'le Pinch...OOUCH!!

She was born with silver spoon in hand  on a  thunderous midnight and she never cried. She is now a hippie and God she wears a Gucci. She carries a Chanel on one hand and a Poodle on the other. Christian Dior feels fortunate to be  on her shimmering feet. She does her lip-gloss and  Victoria's Secret immaculate. She has her OOMPH alright! She drives a brand new Cadillac,the one her dad gave on her sixteenth. World stops staring when she scorches the road. She looks smart when she puffs cocaine  and walks into the bar with a fistful of dollars. The limelight is on her and God Brad Pitt wants her! The Sunflower feels to be ashamed  when she sparkles on her extravagant apparels. Scamps want to lick her like a pie; but she plays her game right. Watch her move. Once she looked at me on a crossing  and I felt dizzy straightaway! I started chasing her wildly because I thought I should have her. But I was born with Plastic spoon in hand,my sleazy  but trustworthy rubber shoes ripped off qu...
