Bee Dance

Being stirred inside out,
shattered in a blow,
my tiny brain floated among the thunderous dark clouds.


You zoomed in on the screen,
 in the mist of Shillong
and colored the studio green.

The iron pieces cling onto you;
every single piece that has sunk into the loo.
You attract me like a magnet,
a moth brimming with mirth. 


I am the bee
submerged and soaked in honey,
saturated with passion and romance.

You were waiting for me,
like a withered leaf,
holding the lantern
so that I can see you beam;
The beam that enchants me
in a loop.

Your scent dissolves in the air,
dispersed around me
like the hari champa in our backyard.

Along the ripples of that fragrance,

The sweet scent of the bosom

The tiny trivial tales
tinkle like gales
tangled with the myth.

                                        His voice cracks
in the other end of the cable.
and I could hear her
melodious silent words wandering in the background.

We giggled and chuckled
choked with charms
from the same plate.

                                    Chaoba dreams in her hostel in China.
Amo breathes nine ranges of hills away from home.
                                    Echal lies at the bosom decorated with lonesome.

I look to my right,
Turn to the left.
But I see them none.
Only books in tons.
