Wisdom Tooth If every grain is inscribed With the name of its consumer What about mosquitoes and parasites? And it must hold true For microorganisms too Whether they know of it or not Every one serves their purpose For nothing spells wake up like waking up to a toothache Or an existential identity crisis And there's no coming to wisdom Without significant pain Sometimes sudden and serious Makes you sit right up From the deepest of sleep A response to deep decay And neglect on your part Cutting sharply through Slumbering thresholds And the stillness of the night Sometimes a dull ache Increasing intensity All year long Like the gradual eruption Of a third molar through the jaw A slow painful persistent gnaw Through tissue and bone An often unwanted reward, Earned with age And expansion of the head You're never ready For either scenario It arises or it unfolds You can try to ignore it Or you can drown in a sea Of painkillers of all shapes Only to crawl back someday But the beach is now glass shards Priorities suddenly shift When you realise your place Is not outside the textbook But within the food chain Analysis doesn't bring relief When you have a toothache The best thing to do Is to go find a dentist And do what he tells you to do #throwback #dental #clinic #dentistry #memories #pastlife #wisdom #tooth #poetry #poetsofindia #poetsofinstagram #awakening #pain #growth #presence #seeking #guru #teachers #davidgoggins #eckharttolle #byronkatie (at Kopri Colony Thane East) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnsb4iZFhD2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=798paedn483j

No disguise could ever do justice To the glorious mess that you are When its brief, the flaws are flawless And your imperfections divine. I desire your abundant feminity, And I crave your fucked up mind. But I'm tired of your childish tenacity, Of losing your self in mediocrity When will you drop this bullshit act And hold my outstretched hand? Follow me into a delicious secret world, Between reality and dreamland. #ballpointpen #illustration #illustrator #artist #fantasy #quirky #art #sketch #justforfun #dance #black #ink #seduction #poetry #feminine #charm #remember #youknowwhoyouare #delicious #secret #dreamland #sabdoc https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnko2MiFb2s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jr8wcz5qfevo

A silence reigned over the jungle, The last male songbird was caught and caged. His crime was serenading females His sin his hormonal haze Courting dances on makeshift stages, Led to the capture of all male sparrows. Peacocks were jailed for manspreading. Even crows and ravens were harrowed. Plumage was outlawed as privilege. And pigeons imprisoned for strutting. Everything nature endowed in males Was suddenly to undergo rebutting. The days grew long and silent, As the banter and duels disappeared. The mornings came over unannounced; Of roosters, once the jungle was cleared. The females grew listless and angry, As the colours and sounds drained away They sat under the leaves in the rain No one built nests for them to stay. An emptiness grew within them To be teased, and craved and adored; Without any friction with the masculine They died, sad and dry and bored. She died alone in a silent jungle, The last chick on this earth. Died without ever hearing a lovesong A genus extinguished When she fell to the dirt. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofindia #poetsofinstagram #poets #feminism #nature #ballpointpen #sketch #illustration #birds #birdsongs #flirting #serenade #woo https://www.instagram.com/p/BnifETxldq4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5zggbtx0mpep

Ain't no reason to go in a wagon to town Ain't no reason to go to the fair Ain't no reason to go up, ain't no reason to go down Ain't no reason to go anywhere Time passes slowly up here in the daylight We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day Time passes slowly and fades away Time passes slowly : Bob Dylan #goodmorning #nochoice #monsoon #hills #birdsongs #time #slow #being #present #bobdylan

The very first time you lay your eyes on them, your thumping heart and the goosebumps on your skin drown the fact that... The first nervous hi! was infact goodbye. The brief, delicious intoxication of honeymoon is a Tiffin of memories; Left in each other's baggage. Its like packing some love for the unavoidable journey; To nourish a famished traveller, breaking her fast under a tree, In the bitter island cold. a Lembas of lost laughter. A sustainence for the silence. The sad parting is a formality; Because beautiful things Should be brief. Should have mournful deaths. And the memory of tears is the only water you have, for your thirsty spirit in the parched solitude. We never say hello to some people. We pack shidori into their being. And we kiss them a thousand goodbyes. #poetry #shidori #poetsofindia #poetsofinstagram #poetsofmumbai #poetrycommunity #goodbye #farewell (at The Prestige Residency)

Tinder Vs Embers Tinder trumps over a matchbox When it comes to starting fires, Within primitive pelvic caves Of the self proclaimed bad bitches And the desperate housewives; Carefully selected with Careless right swipes. My personal android scans the ground; Radius nearby, and 25 kms around. Doppler used to great effect. Marvellous use of technology. Science is pimpin bruh. Algorithms hustle for me. A neon sign flashing red, In the blue-black urban dark Heat seeking just the suburbs, Because Town is way too far. I would be lying if I ever said I didnt enjoy the game and play. The match-struck flash and ping. The electricity under my skin. Spells of lust are crafted and sent, And then the real game begins. A coffee to start, then a dinner. A simple would you like to come over. Jazz music and a tightly rolled joint. Shift a li'l closer and lets get to the point. The Fire blazes late into the night. Throaty moans and embraces tight, Till a tired dawn casts bleached light. A stranger curled around me naked; Sleeps soundly, spent and sated. I am wide awake, alone and sober. Wish my arms held you, instead of her. The morning crawls over slowly. Discomfort has replaced ecstasy. The fog of lust and darkness recedes. Appetite quenched,but spirit diseased. Sleep follows a recurring wishful fantasy; In technicolour R.E.M. flashes. Sift for embers in our disenchanted ashes. Retie the frayed ends of our souls. Breathe a new life in stonecold coals. #poetry #poem #poetrylovers #poetrycommunity #poetsofmumbai #poetsofindia #poetsofinstagram #tinder #embers #tinderfail #hookup #culture #lust #regret #desire (at The Prestige Residency)

A blast from the past. Woke up with this song running in my head. Dont remember the dreams but must have been about college days. Just paying a lazyman tribute to one of the best bands ever. #graphicdesign #graphicart #posters #artprints #british #heavymetal #bands #bandposters #blacksabbath #warpigs #nwobhm (at The Prestige Residency)

This is Major Tom to Ground Control I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in a most peculiar way And the stars look very different today For here Am I sitting in a tin can Far above the world Planet Earth is blue And there's nothing I can do #space #oddity #spaceoddity #davidbowie #marijuana #insight #meditation #alteredstates #consciousness #canabis #wuwei #madday #graphicart #illustrations #deviantart

Gods and Tigers

   There’s no one as brave as a kitten, when she’s only a month old. There’s no one as timid as a kitten, when only fourteen more days unfold. For every ounce of strength in muscle, sinew and bone, Nature charges courage as payment; Loving mother has a heart of stone. With every sleepy day and sleepless night, a boy and his cat grow older. the fire inside burns weaker, they know blood now runs a…
