Sandeep Kulshrestha's Poetry

I do say it with a hidden brew of amorous dreams of not too much of subtlety the thoughts never cease to accept that's it's a version of love one which is rare undefinable, unclear it gets replenished when I watch her face through the prism of my random emotions I find the heart telling it's own language enhanced heartbeats joyful waits long drives unhealthy nibbles at a cafe the healthy bites of casual discussions the nuances of smiling to self an euphoric teen like feeling all of this emerges not with sobriety for sure the messenger nudges the message but the certainty of all of this is pleasing yet painful the greens and the reds and the yellows the colors so vivid like her persona and my precarious thoughts it is all so alarmingly exciting and wholesome just like her endless giggles    

From the hubris of a silence that is heard a chivalry of emotions emerges perceived delusions and the pain recapitulates with a daft ignorance I become someone else with the stroke of a thought it chokes the earlier me gagged thought can only gasp for truth but the hope still survives the question remains as it is Should I be a bruised cat or a phoenix?
