Whirlpools



You and I, we made whirlpools 
with our fingers 
walked in and out, in circles,
but the sound of our footsteps still linger

The plants on your window sill 
are surprisingly smiling at me today
I know you know, code words are 
made to be interpreted 

I don't remember which side of your cheek
the beauty spot is on 
or the day
you were born 

This looks like a new start
A clean slate 
You're welcome to fill my heart 
with new marks 

The summer rain has washed away 
All good and bad memories 
and now it's time to swim in whirlpools 
and sow some seeds in those pots.

With palms salty with sweat, they walked hand-in-hand in a park full of people with mouths full of empty words. And then like the fate of two freshly stubbed cigarettes, afire and affright, they lay in bed, turned heads; she could never make peace with the stench of whiskey on his breath.

About Kissing

As the air from my nose divides itself from the tip of yours, skims down your cheekbones, And my gasps vanish in between the gaps in your teeth I recount, while you push your face into mine and scavenge for magic in my mouth, how our lips locked so well yesterday and how today, as you wave my tongue like it was manufactured only for your consumption, your appetite bobs off my face like a ball of oil trying to dive in water. I wonder if it were my lips t hat changed their shape or your intentions, your tantrums or my apprehensions? I wonder if you realize that the lump in your throat is the lie I'm choking on, and that my lips don't belong to you just because you have touched them with yours before.
