Search in Vain
and the nooks and crannies
I search in vain
for that elusive muse
that dare-devil spirit
that will defy me to be
to shed the veneer
i coat myself in
to bare those claws
i clothe in velvet
i hop onto transports
that swallow me whole
i peer into space without
a thought blotting my mindscape
is that a snot-nosed traveller?
does he deserve to live?
look at him preening away
at the married classifieds
the gelled-in hair follicles
keeping pace with his adam's apple
and the lovers cuddling,
coo-ing there in the corner
how dare they!!
SACRILEGE
here i wander
in the search of a muse
and there they stand,
defiant of all suffering,
immortal for that moment,
on a plane above existence.
Who will bell the cat?
who will burst their bubble?
return them to terra firma.
when did they get so elitist?
see me standing down here,
waving my arms frantically.
the magic carpet i booked
is long overdue.
i'm stewing in the heat
and it doesn't seem to abate.
where is my muse??
a salve to these miserable days
have you seen her?
utekkare,
pranay
