Life in a Nutshell

Usual day and spot,drink and wait
feline grace and hot face, “Evenin-” in and wait
Waiter greets and life fills,moments start count
beautiful frowns and tension spawns, shakes her head and fakes a dish
green as explosions in my head
not of laughter though she knows
here all life I’ve sworn.

Toxic system gyrating to new rhythms
flashing clouds sun and moon
flaming to golden sun moth
for fame or shame all the same
as long as it stays the same.

This life in a nutshell.
Sweetness and pain
that witness no eternal gain.

Keen on sin lately we’ve been
wicked anticipation and -ticipation I’ve seen
days are trembling lay still and be keen
Karma calls and back she falls and hear whispers “close”
And to back a trace of the cold heart ablaze
heaven is a maze and hell is amaze.

Toxic system gyrating to new rhythms
flashing clouds sun and moon
flaming to golden sun moth
for fame or shame all the same
as long as it stays the same.

This life in a nutshell.
Sweetness and pain
that witness no eternal gain.

Mumbai noise fading,black opium cascading.
Lost in white the black and in black the white
wild,wild,wild we soar. Boa,boar,baobab bar we saw
and royal explosions of light
not in my head cause I know
they’ll soon fade in the night.
