This has been an ongoing thought.
Why am I so afraid to meet new people?
Asking often, and often getting confused.
"Am I too cowardly or am I too tired to give trust?"
Feels as if I'd known enough people in life.
And from what I've had - I've had enough.
Thus I lend my rooms limited,
and my trust runs shallow.
So when you ask,
"Would you lend the world another chance?"
I could only show you,
The monumental cuts of my bare back,
And the rusted knives I had to pull once
from the clenched shut hands of the cruel world.
So when you ask,
"Would you lend the world another chance?"
I would rather let my silence speak,
And let your words stutter.

.....................................
Its blank like a blatant page, not even damped
by rain or teared by wind, just plain - blank.
That’s what life had become,
Like sambar without spices or veggies,
Not even salt and kaduk.
One could call it tap water on cooker,
Served on rice without Uppu.
Yet I am not craving for adversities.
But I cant find feelings to write,
Emotions to convey,
Or hurt to cry about.
In difficulty I prayed for peace.
Now I have it.
I remembered I was a poet fuelled by hurt.
Pain brought me to Poetry.
Now, I feel non poetic,
I feel ordinary.
Maybe my reign of poetry is over,
Or am I secretly craving for Chaos?

#raufpoemsTend her tenderly
............................
Subtle my love, be subtle in your ways
Maybe she is too weary
from walking and baking all day
So lover be gentle in your ways
Let her rest her back on a cotton bed
Let her ease the wear of her tiring breasts
Let her enjoy a breeze
From the window frame
lover ask if she is ok
take her feet and rub it for a while
rub it till her tire dissipate
Subtle my love be subtle in your ways
Let her eye you,
While you're tending her pain
Let her see how well you care
let her rest on a cotton bed
embrace her hips,
rest your face oh her tum
Lay there,
lover let her fondle your hair
Be gentle lover,
Always be gentle in your ways.

They force me out when I am not comfortable
They lock me in when I am occasionally confident.
I know there are a lot of crustacean people out there this poem is for them.

Crab man! - crab man! - Crab man!
They yelled at me on my sister's wedding
They yelled at me, for they saw me wearing
A shell over my insecure skin
They ask me not to hide from my kin
Must remain comfortable in a family gathering
surprise not in case we bring a scale
dont be nervous, fail freely young man!
Imagine what faces they make
and how they weigh things with their eyes
Cant help it When the scale Start tilting
More and more over to the other side
Yes, this is the life of a crab man
who had grown keratin shells for his skin.
Ask if he's tired of living with people
who weighs shells with their own judgemental skin
But just at the end of every occasion
I grow a shell, thicker than the last one
Just like a crab changing it's shell
I prepare myself - for another season

There are a lot out there,
Different kisses!
like the kiss you give eachother at kindergarten for the hurt you received
after getting your head bumped with
your best friend
- Innocent kiss
The nervous first kiss which you were not prepared for.
the first one that you received or
the one which you heartfully gave,
Might be the one that you got accused after
Or the one that you had to forcefully regret
- nervous first kiss
Then the kiss that which sent a shiver of shame down your spine
- the kiss of disgust.
The kisses that you give to your non human friends plus the licks you received
- pawed kisses
The kiss that you give to your grans, your daughters, your sons, your parrents, your pets,
before they part
- the kiss of memory
The kiss that you give to your child or your mate, after a prolonged wait
- the kiss of love
The ones that you give
to the ones who seek alms, to the ones who struggle, to the ones who are deserted.
And the ones that your mom gave you
When you were handed to her for the first time.
- the kiss of god

When you are stuck on the thin line of deep sleep and waking up, the time when everything feels odd and out of place.

....................
Call it the time of the morning when -
Mr.sun is delayed on his rush to get out.
Might it be, that his 'tie' got itself stuck between doors, on his routine way out?
Uncalled, unapproved darkness surrounds,
Where there should be morning's daylight.
And my eyes woke up to a window
screening backdrops of Orion's darkness.
Motionless against my will,
I layed roofless on a barron landscape.
And for this one time the moon and stars
felt like complete and utter outcasts.
