Mathematical Anguish

At the end here’s subtractive serendipity, the morning stars dissolve like fading perfume
splashes in your yawn, down the icicle of your atma. What makes our togetherness
monochromatic of antiquity? Come let’s smell the frankincense of this pregnant fecundity. For
we long to have a prolonged eternity even after death. In a standstill elusive trauma and its
medievalism, I’m deep-neck; the fathomless Pacific is tenacious to grow cranberries in Chinese
style. The cold foggy morning of asterisk quivers the labour pain in the disturbed
condescension. That blooming season after a chronic agreement hides in a nascent garden with
envelopes full of avocados and royal Poinciana? Furthermore, from a coffin of snow-clad
drama, the rhythm of chrysanthemums yells pink in mathematical anguish. Frosty innocence
crawls sweetly even in your absence, like a familiar pang of birth inflation; what is there to
disown or abandon? In a nutshell, we are obliviously hypochondriac to embrace the waltzing
territory of our divinity and we long for a prolonged life even after death.A red-lettered feeling of anachronism
In the afternoons of separation
The subtraction of togetherness yearns.
Asylum
When you discover me while exposing the hijacking the forensic chronology of my murder; I try
to metamorphose into an eternal Greek legend to ricochet from falsehood. Maybe like Atlas or
Hercules in their late binaries longed for reconciliation. War is a new marketing deal of
morphed minds. The ceiling of my passion behaves like gypsies and twists diagram of appetite. I
take asylum in you in your fort, oh, my murderer, kissing occasionally the corrugated knife of
your attacks! I look for a safe refuge beyond the reach of death; I negotiate with a world
beyond the reach of the helium’s wickedness. I am out of the house-arrest and its bitter slashes
of furrowed shadow. But how the other thing—the reverberation of baleful betrayal behind the
past goes wild to submerge in your lonely apathy.
An evocative search of an eternal entity
Who cares for cyclone on the sand dune?
The moon sketches curvatures of the sea.
The City Outskirts Look Dog-eared
Between those thick obscured skies, the city outskirts look dog-eared like grandpa’s accounts
book. Right with the advent of the medieval winter two smacked feelings bleed like a wounded
bird of a lost era. A fresh century like the cherries of Ephesus clandestinely oozes into the early
monsoon’s private part. There’s a metaphor of the distant Himalayas, there’s a protagonist of
the Thar Desert dab a lot of cosmetics of a diamond. What was necessary to chide the chilled
window panes of auspiciousness and the bare cuss words? I smoothly suck her presence in
precision; in slicking winter’s porridge, humming whisper and shy subtlety, you sip rather at
ease tickling verbatim and confusion. The messages in the envelope of smiles at new dawn hit
the secret of trepidation. Beside and above her fragile amnesia a smell of stomata floods the
kisses of hieroglyphics. I hear the twang; I grab the touches and the continental polyphony
along the way.
Saffron of saliva in dry frustration
In the middle of the night your spinal cord whines
