CHEERS 2 THAT

2026-08-19T00:10:48.593+05:30

⠀⠀

I was looking in the mirror

She stood at the other side

We bit our lips together

And let our worlds collide!

⠀⠀

I was strumming on my sins

She sang me a lullaby

Put me to dreams, made me her cadaver

She sucked all my life!

⠀⠀

Then she lay consumed in my arms

Breathing whispers of fate

What brought us together

And how we will expire on date!

Back to our separate worlds sans slobbering wishes

Where we won't smack our tongues in assuaging kisses

Where you won’t be the muse of unsung blisses

Where I won't be maneuvering your crevices!

No we are not that type who

would miss anyone

But your void I shall fill with our silhouette

once we'll be done!

Your shadow shall be my shield

saving me from the spotlight of worries

And I'll fade away in my darkness

to succumb to your memories!

Doing bachata in the back of our brewing heads

Dancing to your tunes, filling your spreads

We are going to ruin our consciousness, we'll be lost

I'll be glad always that we crossed!

Crossed the stars before we

tossed each other as star-crossed

Being spoiled brats we distilled

freedom from our loss!

I leaned a GOODBYE

on her closed eyes, I must be dead

And the Night sanctified our reverb

Baby "CHEERS TO THAT!"

Saving You the Drama 🥂

2026-08-19T00:00:00.000+05:30

⠀⠀

Were you not here moments before?

I thought someone knocked on my door

I opened it to witness a distant horizon

A meeting the logic cannot endure!

⠀⠀

They call me crazy

Despite my pretense

Trying to fit into this world

That doesn't make any sense!⠀

⠀⠀

Your calling is delivering life

I am haunted by my own credence

So secured my heart by embracing death

Just to conveniently doubt my existence!

Oh the way you barge in

Through the so called defence

While time insists that love must fade

Does it instead grow more intense?

There are no wounds to heal

No regrets to store

Those knocks are seamlessly gore though

An apple a day seems to be the only cure!

But wonder if it is also forbidden

Or maybe some other fruit as per Genesis

Anyway, what sort of God does that?

Keeps expunging his sole wish!

The sound of your pseudonym set it on flames

And my hell abandons the liss

Pair of your lips is a catastrophe

Our entangled breaths is my kiss!

Don't mind the Serpent

Let him swirl it grim

That's where the eloquence got split

One for your fancy, one for my whim!

Cadaver - Final Part

2026-07-05T10:21:31.708+05:30

⠀⠀

We've been talking out about the next

What if we were that close in the previous one

Anyway, we only have this moment slipping through our fingers

While I've been on run!

⠀⠀

Trying to settle down

Weary of own excuses

Tearing us wounds

Then licking the bruises!

⠀⠀

The things that I've said

Or the deeds that I've done

I really don't know what have I become!

Can't speak the truth

While juggling through lies

I feel so cold that's how I literally burn!

You forgave just like that

And I ceased to be that man

Who used to pester himself

Now better equipped to understand...

...that running is not a solution

When you're running from self

If I cannot handle an emotion

I shouldn't raise the hell!

We all suffer our propensities

Withdrawing seems to be mine

Then coming back to bother

I must be some kind of swine!

Love, you're a comfort zone

When you keep me on toes

I am random cadaver on your table

Tend to breathe again when you're close!

But what's dead should stay dead

One shouldn't try to revive

Let the push come to shove

Just study the heart, how it is still alive!

Beating nay pounding

Calling out your name

Shamelessly astounding

Cautiously insane!

I am not playing with words

Just reciting a hope

Say you won't metamorphose into a metaphor

Before reaper would cut the rope!

I don't know if it would serve any purpose

Or I am just keen to bleed

But it is not something I want

It is everything I need!

Till then you may draw your lines

I won't erase the sting

It did not go as per the plan

It is not just a weekend's fling!

I know you don't like Morningstar

Wondering I am being atrocious on your eyes

Recycling everything in verses

Coz the rhymes speak no lies!

Anyway, do what you desire

I won't be a lover or a friend

I am extended in your anatomy

And that's all I can comprehend!

Divine Turbine

2026-06-12T18:35:15.437+05:30

⠀⠀

You know we will not be in coition

You know you were never mine

In the moment you're an hourglass in my hands

Slipping through like sands of time!

⠀⠀

You know we have perfected a circle

Beyond the dead-end and deadlines

You know it has been a miracle so vicious

Feet finds it preposterous to keep the spine!

⠀⠀

You know that's where I lost it

When I surrendered to your shrine

You know the places from where we leak love

Rolls over cheeks, Love, bliss may whine!

Seasons of heart have witnessed a calendar change

We have been reactive thrust in a divine turbine

Trying to exhaust and run out of lubricants

But can't help the reservoir, love knows no confines

Pheromones supplied by conscience abundantly aligned!

Cadaver - Part 2

2026-06-04T19:25:30.294+05:30

⠀⠀

Friction and repetition

Let me practice you some more

Soon lovers shall hit the crescendo

And time will barge through the allotted door!

⠀⠀

Take her away from my seize

While I wish I could hold her forever

In adversity, I am a fool pretending ease

Without you I literally feel like a cadaver!

⠀⠀

How I miss you, I cannot tell

Would just drown into slumber

And whenever I turn in bed

I know the dumb has just got dumber!

You are occupying my head all the time

I am smiling in my sleep

Possessed by your love

Your Ghost stirring me deep!

Then dawn takes over

And I pout to our dream

Though I don't remember it

But I know that's where you've been!

In your limerence I get up

Go through the daily routine

To maintain the reputation to ace it through

All dressed up to be mean!

Then I drive on, in my steel horse

My head reeling day's schedule ahead

And your thought will come from nowhere

Now I am grinning instead!

So I turn up our playlist

As your Ghost appear in prussian blue

Delude me as if caressing my knuckles over gear

Taunting me that kiss has become due!

I'll try to ignore her

Some call in between would help

I stroke my own hair while speaking

And pretend that it's your scalp!

Reach court in glorious prudence

Troubleshooting the litigants

From distance watching you gesturing handclasp

So I pull you back in the pocket of my pant!

Keep you there in the vicinity of my hose

With a hope that you won't nestle your nose

Or I'll be in difficulty, you know what I mean

The blooming price of keeping you close!

But it is as notorious as you're

Your memories foster the wilderness to spice up my toes

So I take 'em out and put 'em in alveoli of my shirt

Against my hearbeat, and that's how my day goes!

Here I Fall (Without You)

2026-05-29T22:37:06.089+05:30

⠀⠀

Without you

The world will still survive

You're a dream I denied

But baby I'm sleeping tonight!

⠀⠀

Mornings are as dark as my sight

You’re the will I defied

But here I rest my fight!

⠀⠀

Staring at my body from the heights

Your skies I won’t breach

My own hell out of reach

It’s the time to close my eyes!

⠀⠀

Here I fall, there I rise

Here I fall, there I rise!

Misfit in Circular (Song)

2026-05-28T00:44:51.779+05:30

⠀⠀

“From cradle to cart and vice versa”

⠀⠀

Pain, the art

A state of mind

Excruciating poor heart!

⠀⠀

Love, the moment

An eternal thunderbolt

That tore us apart!

⠀⠀

Soul, the virtue of blossoming flowers

We pluck to thwart malodour…

…of their dead counterparts!

Death, the cart

Unladen labors of life…

…to a brand new start!

Pain, the art!

Love, the moment!

Soul, the virtue!

Death, the cart!

Cadaver - Part 1

2026-05-23T16:35:32.473+05:30

⠀⠀

Even if we close the doors over the memories

Windows aren't oblivious to the treasuries

All this dirt was a castle once

And soil never conceived the tragedies!

⠀⠀

You're some story gasping for life

Under your neckline there are laboratories

Our experiments may delve past promise lands

But are we really looking for the remedies?

Breathe for me, it's a comfort to know you're out there

In your being there's a foundation to my ivory-towers

Breathe without hiccups or my heart shall surely miss a beat

I know words won't undo those white flowers!

But I won't mind bleeding to paint them all in a maroon shower

I have a profuse healer in my soul's frontend

In backdrop lovebirds may palaver

In life, we are singular to cheers, in death, I'll be your Cadaver!

Sick of being strong (Gongs)

2026-05-10T18:25:13.445+05:30

⠀⠀

Everyone knows'

what's right for me

Guess I am the only one wrong!

⠀⠀

Sitting on windowsill

with couple of alters

I turn off the lights, they switch it on!

⠀⠀

Though I know tomorrow

sun will rise for me

But tonight it seems way too long!

⠀⠀

The moon hypnotized me to paralysis

Stars screaming out to me -

"Darling yes this is…

…the place where you belong"

So I am brushing the strokes

Clouding the skies

With the thoughts that I nurtured

Little oversized

Reaping the joys while I mourn!

The morning has come

Twilight Stumbling

I can hear birds perching

And their voices humbling

Still I can't feel the dawn!

As the clouds of last night have ripened

Drizzling of paradoxes widened

I am walking in rain, falling with drops

My being caught in this storm!

Everyone here grows and rises with you

Wish we could fall along!

Encashing on doom is my clumsy alibi

Oh I can't gauge my size with this petty device!

Everyone knows what's right for me

How could they be so wrong!

Strength Fades, Tough Falls

It's a matter of time and above all

I am sick of being strong!

And here my guitar it gongs, n gongs n gongs, gongs, n gongs n gongs

gongs, n gongs n gongs, it gongs, n gongs n gongs….

Forbidden across Incarnations

2026-05-03T18:41:21.697+05:30

⠀⠀

Thanks to your curse

I felt my pulse

Love, in all its horror

Made me witness my worst!

⠀⠀

She raised an ivory tower

Desire poked me on top of her

Then she cast me into an ocean of fire

I couldn't extinguish the metaphor!

⠀⠀

While I burned and was consumed

I kept a grace you never knew

I let the flames get better of me

Black and blue being my favourite hues!

Then she tried to rescue me

Through the music we once were

But my ears could hear nothing

Except the cries of forbidden spur!

I forbade you in innocence

But I forbade her through experience

I cherish the memory of drowning

More than her presence!

I didn't pester, for that was your trait

Nay, erased the very occurrence

For I find myself savouring the fall

More than her absence!

Look well upon this ego

There's no lament to harbour the Ghost

Forbidden her not only from this life

But from every birth my soul may host!

In-depth Dead

2026-05-01T14:47:49.732+05:30

⠀⠀

Life is conceived in ruthless battle

You took your sword out to praise death

Love lingers long after the dust learns to settle

Maybe you waged the war without doing your math!

⠀⠀

What do you call it,

natural selection?

Survival of the moistest?

Blind to the ricochet of your own reflection

Rituals have always been rigged for the choicest!

Don't flinch now, don't feel deceived

Let's deploy your micros to the vast universe

Trigger rhymes here and there

Revere yourself as some incessant curse!

But do you even exist

Beyond being a byproduct of bliss?

I allowed you to bite and bleed my lips

Just remember, it all began with a kiss!

So raise a toast to your being

All the messengers may not talk in metaphor

War may precede the peace

We are blessed to see through this verse!

Forbidden Fest

2026-04-25T15:27:27.394+05:30

⠀⠀

Keep it up

Do not surrender

The end does not exist

I will remain a worshipper

Of your precocious intellect

That led me to this infallible mist!

⠀⠀

I met your clone yesterday

When I sneered past a shadow

It was some tryst

As precious as your breaths

Overwhelming my chest

Silence sealed in the eternal kiss!

Don't bite that lip now

I am not grazing your neck anymore

Hickeys exhausted their wit

Get me some glycerin

So I may simonize my eyes

And feign it to be lit

Otherwise your soul won't recognise me

As the Pan is already split!

I saw your fingers procuring it

Swiped across your mouth

Just to hold my drool in your fist

Funny, you did it slyly

And I knew something was amiss

Extended courtesy to ignorance

Death always topped the list!

You slapped confirmation

With your stupid question

You could have ended it with an exclamation

But you didn't

It irritated me, I admit

Maybe my tone was too harsh

In dismissing your theatrics!

Now it’s buried deep within

Memory under siege

Cry, if the eyes insist

But don't dig

It won’t change recognition

Treasure, worthy of a pit

Percolating down but by bit!

⠀⠀

Cry Bay ß

⠀⠀

Someone, afterall, has to decide on my behalf

So I may not regret tripping on the vibe

In your eyes I see myself dwarfed

That's how my being turns so trife!

⠀⠀

Someone has to echo a reminder between a laugh

Just to cry it out casually: "that's life"

So I stay sorted, just as I am now

Immersed in death beneath the Reaper's scythe!

I admit, I misunderstood it

Misread it all between the lines

Wrapped myself as some sort of gift

Bloody crammed and choked inside!

But how do I assure you we've passed that bus

I once hoped on for a while

The conductor treated me surreal

As we rode straight through the void!

Crazy they're prying my dreams from reality

I stare out the window, though I booked the aisle

I wonder who the stranger sitting between us is

She keeps greeting me with that inviting smile!

The Boob Loop

2026-03-02T20:38:00.003+05:30

⠀⠀

Went to an ice-cream parlour

Ordered a couple of scoops

They iced it with strawberries

And my head got nuked!

⠀⠀

Translated me into a gawk

As my heart joined the marching troops

And now my intent is shaking

Making me chew my bloops!

⠀⠀

They melt slow in my mouth

While my senses coupe

She is a tempest on prowl

I am affliction's hula-hoop!

Adrenaline's switching altars

Bloody gusto is in soup

Every time I close my eyes

I fall right through to spill my juice!

It's some meditation

Makes me feel like a nincompoop

With the wood of ante meridiem

I am stuck in the boob loop!

Nothing else, but nothing

2025-12-17T14:00:00.004+05:30

⠀⠀

We couldn’t have it all

So we settled for nothing

The beautiful, sweet, humongous nothing

That crimson-kissed, moon-fed nothing!

⠀⠀

The abundance of love across eternity

Threaded through our cursed living

And the death we have yearned for

For the sake of that fateful night

Oh! That's nothing!

We drink it wholly, this sacred void of meaninglessness

Cradling this doctrine of nothingness

So raise your chalice to the last supper

Then we will step into vast nothing!

The ghosts carved from summoning nothing

The love that fangs its way into nothing

The music composed in chambers of nothing

Calluses carved in the veins of nothing

The songs whispered into gallows of nothing

The sketches etched for nothing

Tears baptized in ruins of nothing

Collisions falling back into the abyss of nothing!

Her memories invoked the pain

Then lulled back into a velvet nothing

The velvet was black, just felt nothing

Kisses curl into smoke

And the poetry evaporates into abandoned metaphors

At the unholy altar of nothing!

All we have to do is surrender

But the surrender chose nothing

There shall be no surrender now

No surrender shall touch our vow

Not after eons of hunger

Not after the chests we carved open

Just to pull out the trembling instrument

And drain it dry for nothing

Nights like these are meant for nothing

The Pan within succumbed to nothing

To hell with surrender

We will keep the nothing

Cheers to nothing

For what are we, if not nothing!

Rose Petals on a Death Bed

2025-11-05T19:42:00.002+05:30

⠀⠀

She settled in the chaos

And pulled the thread

Took it off my onus

Pushed me through the bed!

⠀⠀

Ridden for conscience

Then she ran off with my robe

Wonder if I followed her

Or if it was her ghost!

⠀⠀

So I roll my eyes up to my crown

Feeling robbed over a good riddance

Yet I shed sarcasm for her

Hope she doesn’t sense the penance!

Coming out of love

Is never an easy job

You’ve got to gather your pieces

Till memories find a knob!

A goddess, maybe

I am just a rabid dog

Marking my territory

Posting riddles on the blog!

Cheers to the deathbed

Cheers to the occupants

I guess I’ve survived it

With the blame, a sole remnant!

P.S.:

Don't need your mouth

Don't need your hands

Don't need your orifices

Let's just pretend we're friends!

Oct Too Insignificance

2025-10-02T23:57:00.002+05:30

⠀⠀

I found a perfect bikini for you

Tinier than your whims

More ludicrous than my fancies

Worth manhandling into a wedgie

Feeling my hands at the helm?

Or some counterfeit overwhelmed?

Speaking of mine

They're dwelling in necromancy

As shades of grey bled into the grim

The gloomy sun too cooled to dim!

⠀⠀

My fingers still carve your silhouette in air

Nails splitting into your intangible eclipse

Accentuating the caliber you calibrate

Your voluptuous enigma made me celibate

Yet jerking off to celebrate your constant need of validation

Ouch! That obscene hesitation!

Touching you is embracing hellfire

Letting you go is orgasmic tease

Pleasures I derive are grotesque to the wicked

The sorrows I reap are heavier than the corpse I've seized

With the lifeforce I churned and mediated

They smell of you, the graves that I've leased!

I walk numb, insensitive to pain,

Deliberately trying to hurt myself

And those who dare to love me

Hoping for some effect to precede the cause

Dispatching your ghost away was most gross

I ripped my heart to covenant with insatiable hunger

It kept on beating until I gulped it down after chewing it whole

In smithereens, my invincible soul!

Living with a sole desire

All hell may break loose

Or dying, perhaps

So damn confused!

Just Kidding

2025-09-19T00:28:00.004+05:30

⠀⠀

What am I supposed to do?

I don’t know how to cry

Struggling to feel the weight of sorrow

Though I’ve lost someone so precious

Enough to drive me mad inside!

⠀⠀

I don’t know how to beg forgiveness

Someone help me find my fault

This reckless plunge they call Love

I’ve no control over this somersault!

It feels like some strange high

That my soul cannot defy

I’m thankful for everything

Even if it was all a lie!

I can’t believe this eerie stillness

How can my spirit feel so numb?

Still in awe of your brilliance

That I’m left so helplessly dumb!

I don’t know how not to honor your decision

If you say we’re done, it’s done

But why have I turned so cold

Against this heartburn?

The world itself has ceased to exist

I am in constant state of carnival

So what if you couldn’t wait for this lifetime

Glad I am cast into a perpetual freefall!

Of Diastolic and Soulmates

2025-09-10T15:31:00.002+05:30

⠀⠀

Not everyone is your soulmate

That takes the pressure off from your veins

By jotting the readings in their brilliant handwriting

A futile liturgy to resurrect your capitulating brains!

⠀⠀

Not everyone is your soulmate

To simmer you along the hush of ivory

Instead, a smolder shy of the pyre

A wilted garland upon a hanging memory!

⠀⠀

Not everyone is your soulmate

Who lures you into their cathedral of songs

Once they ascended like prayers

Now they toll as ceaseless gongs!

⠀⠀

Calling for your confession

If only you could fold your sins

And hold your obsession

To play with sole flame charring the twins!

Not everyone is your soulmate

The one abandoned in succinct diastolic

That voice still echo in your ears

Turning your regrets into whispered relics!

And perhaps, the only one who ever was

You crucified on the altar where pride adorns

Though God spared you the mourning

With a revenant wearing your crown of thorns!

Just Breathe

2025-08-28T18:38:00.004+05:30

⠀⠀

When the sovereign is Love

I am hands down above

The going may get rough

But we are tough enough!

⠀⠀

To stand it another day

Through snippets of dismay

Nothing dismantles your curves

Gosh, that hypnotic sway!

⠀⠀

The bed’s a beneficiary now

Soon the ground will swoon

When you step on it, my moon

My oceanic heart a helium balloon

Seeking only your harpoon!

So don’t burden your head

Unless you’re thinking of this chad

Who only desires:

The warmth of your arms

The fire in your eyes

The spirit of your charms

And the truth in your lies!

Your smiling canvas, where I am the drawing

Your dance moves, slowly sighing

Your addictive breath grazing my lips

My Lion stirring the fire in my loins!

Remember who you are

Though the times are trying

Our snuggling jazz shall beat

To our timbre in heat

I am at your feet, darling

Just breathe!

Escaping 'Us'

2025-08-27T19:23:00.000+05:30

⠀⠀

We are a termless pleasure

Bound by an enduring pain

Each other's serendipitous treasure

From 'us' we cannot abstain!

⠀⠀

Your depth is my map to self-measure

The threshold only we can sustain

Through sudden deaths in your gradual seizure

Fortunate victims of Divine's chicane!

⠀⠀

Shooting stars are rising by the ivory tower

They smell like the virgin rain

If only clouds could bust those flowers

We are thorns pricking the feign!

I am stripped naked in your glare

Collided to lose membrane

Yet prohibited to touch us

Despite irrevocably ingrained!

Return my Umbrella

2025-08-23T20:51:00.003+05:30

⠀⠀

It's raining torrentially

Where are you wandering, sir?

Return my umbrella

I need it more than ever!

⠀⠀

My soul is soaked

My throat is choked

Why you split the heavens?

My umbrella is no device to poke!

⠀⠀

In guise of an affable fella

You refuse to hurt me with your touch

Yet seized my umbrella

To exile me from your cwtch!

Give it back to me now

Or I'll drag you through the rain

You'll be left with no refuge

But fall prey to your chicane!

So don't torment me further

We can share it if you please

My umbrella, a faithful traitor

Never opens on time, only to tease!

The first cut in first person

2025-08-10T14:00:00.002+05:30

⠀⠀

I've known a boy for long

He is a man now, in frame at least

Though past his prime

No more a usual beast!

⠀⠀

He fell in love with a thought

It wore the anatomy of a girl

Following the collision

The abundance swirled!

⠀⠀

She spoilt him way too much

He wreaked havoc on her

Got so narcissistically Rime

Her wrenching warmth couldn't stir!

In the name of moving on

He then broke a dozen hearts

Blamed her curse to feed his vice

Still scathing his scars!

Who healed whom?

When you're in love with a wound

And everyone else is a metallic accessory

The deeper it pierces, the better he is doomed!

What a blessing this curse turned out to be

He got lovers to intonate his art

Sick of hitting the bullseye every time

With his careless stinging darts!

Oh you beautiful healers

Stay away from the simp

He is not bothering you

So spare him your glimpse!

May you all find your respective soulmate

The mutual love that you deserve

He is done with your arcs

He is done with your curves!

Committed to narcissism?

Or just a victim of circumstance?

His self-obsession deriving sadistic pleasure?

Or just seeking obsolete tendance?

But then why push everyone away

What is the deal?

We could have been the very bliss

Alas! I am in love with my ordeal!

Charm of Pandora

2025-07-22T20:20:00.002+05:30

⠀⠀

I don't bite --- but I might, with narcissistic tendencies!!!

⠀⠀

I am just an accommodating thought

Not some serpent with a gemstone

I touch low, being a baritone

And chill your marrow to the bone!

⠀⠀

My intent is never clear

But I always know what I don't want

Darkness's own muse

When the spotlight starts to haunt!

The only sting I offer

Is to deprive you of my time

A little fond of my company

You know, that's how I rime!

Don't confuse it with tempter's tease

It's an ease of laughter dressed in finer jokes

With lips that mock their tender role

To wield the charm within the hoax!

I've nothing against anyone

Mostly a harmless paradox

Yet I can't rule out the peril involved

In meddling with the pandora's box!

Versing the chicane

2025-07-20T16:14:00.005+05:30

⠀⠀

Nailed another coffin shut

Not sure if it held a corpse or a being

Perhaps the former

I heard no thudding!

⠀⠀

Let us rot, like we always do

To die with grace is sacred art

If only we could master it

Breathing with a broken heart!

⠀⠀

But it’s not that grave a deal

Been there, again and again

Did nothing to resurrect it

Except versing the chicane!

Don't fear the death of us

It's a wholesome release

Ghosts may linger for a while

Love, a nagging disease!

So I touched my forehead

It felt cold, like your warmth

Sleep is more dear to me

Than the longing of your arms!
