written with the wondrous Nandita (in italics). an incredible pleasure to have her on this.
there are nights
filled with crescent
moons that cut
at the tips
of stubborn hearts.
with stars
that dim
and veins
that pour
on sheets
of skies.
and angels
that cry.
and goodbyes
that linger.
and on such nights
of heartbeats sullen
from remembering
waned dreams,
breaths reek
of nostalgia
piercing through
pallid veins
to burst open
tears of poetry
waxes paths
dimly illuminated
by fallen stars
and some
still silent scars
