The Old New

You wanted to meet me
Halfway
I travelled towards a dead end

~ ~

Old mistakes
I wear them
Smelling of mothballs

~ ~

Dreams begin to dread
When they hear
The night is near

~ ~

Grass pricks
Naked feet
Voyeur shoes laugh

~ ~

I'll pass you
The salt
And keep the sea

~ ~

My body is like clay
You have to mould it
Before you can break it

~ ~

Everytime you shut
Windows
The breeze in your room dies

~ ~

In traffic snarls you discover
Green signals mean nothing
You can't move ahead

~ ~

False hope flounders
A wish that could be fulfilled
Is led astray

~ ~

A page in the diary
Is soiled
Yesterday never happpened

Manish:

If that s the case then all must think about is yesterday...or is it kalyug? I am now awaiting the arrival of Draupadi. Looking forward to a new saree for myself!

KB:

Yes, I do have favourites. I am extremely biased. I like # 11 best :)

Okay, besides the one you chose, I'd say 2, 5. 10.
