Halogen Quartet

Mired

Walk away now -
I said -
before time and tide have their way with you
and the compulsions of strangers become your own;
before you sense your feet twitching to rhythms
that your mind is unfamiliar with,
but which your heart
refuses to forsake.

lift

stretch

Heave yourself out of these labels,
fantastic plans,
presumptions
that swirl, swill around
your indecisive thighs,
and all your self proclaiming lies

अगर मैं तुम्हे अपनी सारी ताकत दे दूँ,
तो मैं अपनी ताकत कहाँ से लाऊंगी?

रूह देखी है कभी?

"जिस्म सौ बार जले तब भी वही मिट्टी का ढोला
रूह इक बार जलेगी तो वो कुंदन होगी "
