Post Infidelity

"Now listen to me carefully," she said to him through tears and gritted teeth, "Go for it! Fight for her. Convince her that she likes you, because she is not happy with her boyfriend and you know that as well as she and I do. Convince her to give you and her a chance at whatever it is that you both might want. Because the injustice that she is about to do? She'd rather do it to you than to her boyfriend, cos he doesn't deserve it. You do. And one more thing, don't call me ever again."

Months later, when she was still getting over him cheating on her with that girl, but she was better, they spoke. "Its ok," she said to him, keeping the pain in her voice down, "I only took away from you what already didn't matter to you anymore..."

Damning of the Ocean

She let her angels and demons
churn the murky waters in her
to get the right words
to save her

Her sleepless eyes awoke
with the happiness
that she was afraid
to have the audacity to feel

Her Mohini
was just starting to
seduce her demons away;
When
the RahuKetu
of somebody's something better
swallowed the first few droplets
of the elixir restoring her

A cold dark gaping void
replaced her Meru
and shrieked in the faces of her gods,
rendering them forever mortal!
