Exponential risks

was
a
fool to
fall for it
exponential risks
of being in love grow with time

Half a dozen

it’s
not
fair – half
a dozen
years of pain for just
a fortnight of relationship

achieved an unencumbered life
without much effort
just needed
slaying
some
dreams

dillydally days
often result in nights of
tossing and turning

all my life I was
genuine and virtuous
then I fell in love

I
was
telling
you deepest
secrets of my heart
while you were savoring the thrill

it’s cynicism at its finest
when you worry that
I’ll react to
venom
you
spew

I’m never alone
I’m always in a crowd of
your sweet memories

tongue tied before you
my stammering words lead to
hiccupping haikus
