We never mangaged
The motions of goodbye well
You were busy with
New beginnings
I was busy
Reminiscing, savouring
The bitter aftertaste
Wallowing, almost
The lose strands
(Like your hair
On those rare days
You’d let them be)
Oh well, they’ll haunt
They always do
I was born dramatizing
You liked to say
(Am I still obsessed with
What you liked to say?)
Not today
Today it’s time
To rest the past,
In all its troubled glory
Okay, that’s a little
Over the top
But seriously
Tomorrow I want to forget
That I want to forget
(Forget) even this obsession
With moving on
Which holds me back
Into today
A Fine Imbalance 
Hey asuph, saw your mail. Checked my account after a long time. I am here, reading everything.
This is a really nice poem.Reading a good poem from you after a loong time.Cud relate totally to it.
Thanks silo, but you broke my heart. You mean all that I wrote recently is a crap!
okay just kidding. i don’t have a heart.

hi asuph
your poetry is just so divine- the simplicity and imagery that you use is rare.
you have a gift.
oh, and about the literary review. do you read this columnist called pradeep sebastian? his column is called endpaper. wonderfully gifted. i think i am in love with him 🙂
thanks prat. that’s a huge compliment.
i’ve read a bit of pradeep sebastian and yes he’s very interesting. i think he’s taken tho :))
do visit again,
asuph.
1. I don’t need to condone/condemn other person’s drug addiction/alcoholism. I don’t. It’s not for me to decide how others lead/waste their lives. Yes I will still like their work.
2. Lata mangeshkar is rumoured to have slept with a some of her music directors. Would you hate her singing because of that? The sad part is in the word of media it’s hard to get a break. Again, one can judge the work despite of how one got a chance. And I’m interested in the work.

asuph
