I could smell the sun in you,
freshly squeezed it seems,
from the musty mould
that grows everyday-
in my furnitured brain.
Or, maybe, i smelt just you again.
Is it possible to possess?
As the night does,
clinging to its scent-
even as it melts-
in darkness,
and shadows,
and dreams?
Or, maybe, it's just loveless to possess.
I can still see the scribbles you nailed -
randomly,
on the already scratched
musty, mouldy wood.
They were measured
as life is -
in teaspoons.
Or, maybe, i should leave them undeciphered.
I can smell you again
here,
now-
in you.
That how 'this' whiffed out
perhaps-
for a measured while
from the musty mould
of the sprawled furniture
that is me.
Just tell me-
should i love
or
quit?

ReplyDeletelast post i kinda felt this blogger is a sceptic... now this one is kinda romantica
Not really if you want to limit the definition of "romantic" in the popular sense...i wrote the poem as an expression of angst in the minds of extremely politicised yet sensitive individuals. The "i" is not restrictedly myself.. anyway, it would be discouraging to limit interpretations according to the frame of reference of the reader...just that i failed in my attempt.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, please continue to comment as and when possible. It helps.
By the way, on a lighter note,because i love to reflect on social issues and write "political" poems does nothing to lend any interpretation on myself as "romantic" or "un-romantic"...
