new cover
new beginning
same old obsession

its skin tore softly, like the silence between us.
Each slice, a secret I’d kept hidden.
The first crush, the missed calls,
the dreams I packed like lunch in steel tiffin boxes, only to return untouched.

The pulp, tender and bursting,
reminded me of the joy I saved for you,
Sweet, sharp, never shared.
Juice dripped down my fingers,
like the words I never spoke
but carried in my throat like prayer.

You never asked for it.
But I peeled anyway.

portrait, not hers.
She's left out.

Waves come crashing.
Touch the shore.
Hands stay empty.

It ripened slowly,
bathed in borrowed warmth,
clinging to the branch
like trust to a trembling promise.
The wind flirted,
the sun coaxed,
and the tree-
it stood still,
offering no reassurance,
no shelter from the storm brewing.
No one heard the cries
of a fruit that ached to hold on,
no hand reached out in time, and
a mango fell while no one watched.

To be a flower pressed between the pages
a token of love or
a reminder of love drifted away

a frantic search for fragrance or
a realization that what has vanished doesn't reappear

a symbol of what might have been or
a thankfulness that what happened
happened for the best

Wish I were your saree.

Draping your flaws.

Pleating your happiness.

Revealing the best within you.

I wished for a day rich with gentle adjectives,
but it passed with quietly placed adverbs.
Now, I end it with a quiet exclamation.
