Office Blues

In the stillness
Someone coughed
Someone yawned
Boss on phone

He —
Control A
Control C
Control V
Copy-pasting
My thoughts
In his diary.

The whirring fan
My ice-cold
stare
Blank at screen

Her tinkling laughter
jars on my tired brain

Switch off.
Time to go home...



Your Wedding Day, My Love

Counting raindrops on the windowpane
Was it my tears that blurred?
Ticking seconds and my heartbeat
Count...
Now it’s the day
Now it’s the hour
Now it’s the morn
Now it’s the noon
Now it’s the even
Now it’s the night
of Celebrations.
Now all is still
In the dark hour
As you lose yourself in her
Lost to me — forever.
